March came in like a lion and went out like a lion!

I've been so busy the past few weeks that I haven't had time to write. This photo of Jim and me was taken yesterday, right after church.

We were so happy to see the sun shining after two days of really bad weather. Two mornings in a row we woke up to sirens sounding off, warning us of approaching tornados coming toward our town. We had company, Jim's brother Larry and his wife Suzi, were visiting us from Virginia Beach, VA. They were unable to come when our son died on Feb. 2nd and wanted to come for a visit. We had planned a trip to Mobile to the flowers festival and to tour Bellingrath Gardens. With the approaching bad weather, we decided to stay in Elba over the week-end and that was a good decision.

We had lots of time to visit and reflect about the lives of Jim's and Larry's mom, who died in September and our son's death in February. There were so many memories of their lives that we recalled. We took a trip to the cemetery for them to see the monument for our plot.

They went to church with us on Sunday, and on Saturday when the rain stopped for a spell, they went to Lowe's with us to pick out some things for our new bathroom.

We have been gone (SC) or had company for the past 2 weeks and have let things "pile up". But it's so nice to sometimes to just let things go and move along. That's what we have been doing.

Tomorrow we will get back on track. The carpenters, brick mason and painter will be back to continue to work on our new room we are adding to our house. We told them not to come while we had company - and now they've gone home. Back to the old grind...........
