4th of July........

O my! This week has flew by. I don't really know where the days have gone and it is already Wednesday!! I am looking forward to the long weekend, Johnny is off on Friday and we are going to my brothers house for a birthday/4th of July party he has it every year and most of the time I really enjoy myself. See none of my side of the family are in the church and sometimes I get nervous going to parties and such because I am used to the brethren and I know they are family but it is not the same. I try to always ask the brethren to pray for us before all Holiday's and get togethers and usually everything turns out just fine. The Lord is so good to us. There will be some other brethren there because the Stubby's usually go too because they are close to my brother too. The 4th is my Dad's birthday and my nephews so I have to figure out what to get them and that is especially hard where my Dad is concerned because what do you get the person that has everything???? I usually try to fix him his favorite meal or something but with the party that is kind of hard. My Dad lost his wife just over a year ago and he lives alone. I try to take care of him but he is self seficiant and sometimes I just get on his nerves I think. Well any way I hope everyone has a good long weekend and a safe one too.
