Wednesday & Thursday
May 13 & 14, 2009
I woke up early today so I could make sure I had everything loaded into the truck to take back to Louisiana before I drove into work. Gina called me around 8 letting me know that she was up drinking coffee. We talked for a little while but there was a lot that I needed to get done today at work since I was taking Thursday & Friday off for Thomas’ graduation.
Gina called me in the afternoon to let me know that Uncle Jim dropped off some fresh green beans from his garden. We are having a little get together at our house Thursday night for Ashley & Parker. They are flying back from Grenada since they have finished up for the semester. I can add that Ashley finished with a 4.0 and Parker ended with a 3.6 gpa. Ashley was extremely happy since every semester since 10 grade she seemed to always have at least one “B”. Ashley & Parker are going to medical school at St. George University in Grenada.
I finally made it to Louisiana at 9:35 and Gina was at Debbie’s house picking up a photo book of Thomas. She got back to the house at 10 o’clock and then we went to Wal-mart to buy everything to make lasagna since that is what Ashley requested. Once we made it back to the house Gina decided to start cooking and I laid down on the couch and fell asleep. I’m not sure what time she went to bed but when I woke up she had made two strawberry pies and all the meat for the lasagna was finished. She was already up and going outside cleaning up the flower bed in the front of our house. She said she wanted to get out there before the sun got everything too hot. Well we finished up in the front and then moved to her garden and carport. I got all the grass cut and then before we knew it the time had just flown by and it was time for Gina to get inside and make the lasagna.
Ashley & Parker arrived at 6:45 ready to eat. We visited for a little while since there were still people arriving. I don’t know how many people were here but the house was full. Here are a few pictures from last night.

Full House
Uncle Jim and his girls
After everyone ate that all went outside to the garden to see everything Gina has been doing in her garden this year. It was now dessert time and we had key lime pie that Nicole made, Strawberry pie and brownies. We had a great time visiting with Ashley & Parker. Ashley will be back to pick Gina up in the morning to go get their toes and nails done for some girl time. This has been a wonderful day!! We miss our daughter but it’s always such a blessing to see her.
Until tomorrow, Gina & I hope everyone has a pleasant and wonderful day, enjoying what our Father has so graciously blessed us with.
