Elijah's teacher came around the driver's side of the van yesterday and said I need to tell you what Elijah said.. I thought of dear what has he said now ..... She shared that a little girl at school had to have surgery the first day of school . She told the class that they needed to pray for her. Of course the kids had question why she had to have surgery. She said Elijah raised his hand and she thought he might knew her and why. He said... Mrs Brown. I sure hope it is not that plastic surgery. That sure would be terrible. Mrs Brown said it took everything in her power not to burst out laughing... I told her LOOK at me it is obvious I have not had plastic surgery and I have no idea where he has heard of plastic surgery! LOL.

Glorious!!!

We left last Thursday for a long weekend of camping with two other families. We camped near Grand-Fathers Mountain. The camp ground we stayed at was VERY nice and you really did feel like you were in the mountains. We went to Grand-Father's Mountain and the swinging bridge! We also went hiking to the Linville Falls. We had a great time! My friend Renee brought her parent Along . ( Grandpa Chuck and Grand Maw Ruth). What a blessing they were to us and the kids this weekend. Allyson, Caroline and Elijah just took to them immediately. They both took the time to play , talk and making them feel special. Grandpa Chuck is 79 and Grand Maw Ruth is 76. You would never know it though. Grandpa Chuck went hiking with us and hardly loss his breathe. ( unlike me) Grand Maw Ruth was always doing something around the camp . What a busy bee she is. When we left they both compliment how well behave our kids were and how much they enjoyed being with everyone. I was so touched! Yesterday was a glorious day I was very sad but the kids started school. But it was glorious that they privilege too attend a private school and have great teachers that love the Lord. I got to eat lunch with my husband We also close the deal on a great location for our consignment sale. God is good always!

One more thing

To add to the stress Robert went to buy lunch and our credit card did not go through... Called the credit card company and someone got hold of our our cc # and went on a shopping spree in FL. The cc company actually notice all the charges in FL and stopped our card.No we did not lose our card No telling how it happen but our guess someone hack a site that we have used our cc on. We are not going to have to pay all the charges . We will have to contact every billing agency we used Can anything else happen this next week????

Do you feel the heat????

I know I have been a bad blogger but I have a good excuse. It is a 4 letter four.... BUSY! As you know we came back to air conditioning problems after our vacation. You ever heard of air conditioning drama??? Well we have experience it. A friend of a friend came to look at it . To make a long story short this guy has not follow through . The person we wanted to work on it was actually doing contract work out of the country. The freon ( sorry for the spelling) is now gone again and the system is not cooling. The good news the person we original wanted to fix it is back and we will have it fixed hopefully by Sat. The bad news we have to put in a whole new cooling system at $2,000. We are now even broke because I had to pay school tuition this week. The kids this week have been at music/ drama camp a the Cove Church. They have had so much fun and made some new friends. Tonight we will be going to see a musical presentation. They are pretty excited and the kids say it is really cool what they are doing... This past week I have set at my computer for at least 6 HOURS a day working. I am getting ready for my consignment sale in September. I am using a new and very cool system called My Consignment manager. The consignor tags their items on-line and then we upload the information into our computer. We have scanners that will scan their own personal barcode as the items sell at our sell. They can also set up their drop-off and volunteer time in my system. This is saving me a ton of work. That is what I have been busy doing all week setting up the system. I am finally finish and will be opening up links for them to get busy this coming Monday. We are having a pool party this Sunday with friends. One of my sweet adopted daughters ( Rachel) is bringing her boyfriend over to meet our family. I have know Rachel and her family for many years. ( The Robbins). They are actually our family too. I hear wedding bells in the future very soon! Morgan is coming home this weekend for a visit. I need to post about my special son. He is such a blessing and actually he brought me closer to God. I will do a post on my man Morgan soon Well Later! Have a great weekend
