Make a Difference Day

This a.m. I received a phone call from April who works at the college. She's a friend of mine. Told me to expect a group of college students any minute, that they were coming to rake our yard. It was part of Make a Difference Day, a community helping others in the community. And within 1/2 hr. two vehicles arrived carrying 6 college students. They came with a leaf blower, rakes, tarp and lots of energy. I couldn't believe that this gift was given to us. I've already forwarded the picture to the local newspaper, along to the President of the college. I've said it many times, we are so blessed to be living in God's country. So many friends who I swear would do anything for us. A true blessing.

This p.m. was our local Halloween Parade. Pictures have not been downloaded yet, but let me tell you this. Four boys who play percussion (including Tim) dressed up as Silks (the front dance line of girls). Traditionally this part of the band always comes up with some theme. Each year it gets bettter. The boys had such a great time, along with everyone who had them pose for pictures. Never saw so many happy faces. Just another small town tradition that brings the who town out, even if it was drizzling.

So yes, today was a good day. Counting down until Nov. 1.....when I get the demon taken out of me. And you know me, if I could-I would even ask someone to take pictures of the procedure to blog. Including the demon.

Just so you guys know, my sister will be keeping my blog up to date the weekend she is here.
