Hope springs eternal....

I really do need to get something new posted here....add a few pictures....maybe change a picture....I do enjoy blogs and some that I follow I get a lot out of and wonder how the people do it....to make them so interesting...be so creative...and yes...also some very touching ones....just want to know how to even learn from them to have more richness in my own life...

Springs work on the farm:  things have gone well....a first....almost all the corn planted in April...most years we are glad to just be started planting in April.  Now hopefully May weather will not have conditions that make a lot of replanting necessary....but like with many things....we do what we have to do...or at least attempt to make the right choices.
Lots of pretty spring flowers have already bloomed and fruit trees well budded or blooming....awe...the thrill of seeing the renewing of life...





Glad for Special Meetings and worker visit at the time....words can never express all those privileges mean.

Next (known) big event....Will and Becky's wedding...May 22....look forward to that....(if I knew how, I'd put a little heart here!)



Other spring events....3 graduation from High School from our meeting....sorry we'll miss one of those because of the wedding....but we wish them all the best and any other graduates in 2010

And of course, the grandchildren....never get enough time with them....



Hannah has always 'loved' this dolly....and now she is the same size....(guess Nolan isn't in to having 2 'sisters'! ha)


Yes, I can  read.....


This one is for Auntie Karen....(and I'm sure all the other aunties out there, too!)


My teddy bear from Uncle Will is soooo much fun!

And maybe last for this post ....but not least.....a Happy 44th. Anniversary to big sis!


...so I'll close this...for this time and sorry for all it lacks.....maybe if I keep doing this I'll get better!
Here's to a happy spring for everyone....and looking forward to a great summer.

I just wrote you a (real on paper) letter and asked when W&B's date was... so now I have that answered! I see your little heart, by the way! It shows!
Hooray for spring planting! :)
And the babies- of course- absolutely darling! My mom and dad totally echo your feeling of never getting enough grandbaby time!

Hi Minnie!
Thanks for your comment, it has been a very trying time for us and for our little meeting.(The neighbor had been coming, and speaking, for probably 2 months. That changed after a workers visit and then I got that blow up phone call) Thanks for the encouragement from you, another friend in the truth told me she had heard we go through certain things because God can depend on us. I hope I didn't disappoint Him!
Yes, we do know Erica and Jessica. Please tell her hello! I told Shawn what a small world this is, to think I found you while I was blogging and that a friend we know is working for you!
Jess isn't doing good at all, they aren't sure if she has weeks or months. Glad God has that in His hands too.
Thanks for your steady friendship and faithful comments!
Love,
Dora

Sorry, I forgot to say I hope you don't get any weird comments you don't know about. Not sure if the neighbor will lash out on friends on my blog or not, he did to a few different ones at gospel meeting.(Even called complete strangers to warn them off, due to our c---.!I won't fill in the rest(ult) so if someone is searching that word your blog won't come up.)
I'm sorry if he does.

I had the same idea - need to update the blog. I was wondering if any of the family "blogged" anymore. Becky just updated hers also. Great minds------- :)
And you need to give yourself a little credit. Your blogs are interesting and you have a good eye for pictures. Mine? well------ Nice pics -- and thanks for the last one and the comments!!
