Monday into Tuesday
How did everyone's Monday go? Well, I hope!
I trust too that everyone, well, the ladies, that is, had a Happy Mother's Day, I had a wonderful day...till a little after midnight....but that's a story for later! We had decided to go down to Lebanon and see my Mom and Dad. Landon wanted to go with us, they hadn't seen Mary yet, so arrangements were made for the day off, and we began to discuss what time we needed to try and leave Sunday morning. Friday evening, landon was here for awhile. Moriah had to work on Saturday, and he was in town, so he came by and picked her up, to take her back with him, and he hung around for awhile. We had decided...sorta...or discussed it anyway, about leaving here in time to get to Camdenton, about the time church was getting out, and we'd stop at our old church, the one Lee's cousin pastors, and see them for a bit, before preceeding on the Lebanon. Lebanon is just 25 miles from the church. So, as we began to discuss what time we were going to need to leave to arrive at the church around noon, Landon and Lee are both questioning as to why we can't go down earlier, and arrive in time for church. They both really wanted to do that. It's not that I minded going to church...we soooooo miss being able to attend there like we once did, but I wasn't quite relishing the thought of having to get up that early, and be dressed and out of the house by 7:15 am. But...everyone agreed that was what they wanted to do, so that's the arrangements that we made.
We got to Landon's not long after our planned time..so we weren't too far off our schedule. From there, we ran to Micky D's to get some breakfast, then headed toward the lake. From landon's house, it is about 1 1/2 hr. drive. We were afraid traffic might be bad, considering it was Mother's Day, but, it really wasn't that bad, which was nice. We arrived at the church, a little before 10:00 which was when the service starts. Naturally, all the relatives and friends that we hadn't seen in awhile...not since lee's cousin's funeral...first of April, I think it was, were really excited to see Mary for the first time, and of course, thought she was just as beautiful as we do. As always, I was not disappointed that we had gotten up early to drive to the lake for church. As usual, I was blessed beyond belief, and my heart refreshed by God. Nothing makes your soul soar more, that standing to being your worship, as all begin to sing as one, ... " One glad morning when this life is or, I'll fly away! To a home on God's celestial shore, I'll fly away!" Boy now...does that EVER get you pumpin' first thing in the morning. After that, it was difficult to sit still!!!! LOL And...as usual, Mike, Lee's cousin, had an excellent sermon...and naturally had us laughing, as he so often does. He's not your "normal" preacher! lol (just thought of something I'll send ya...sill do that when I'm done here.)
We visited a bit after church, then loaded up the cars, and headed off to Lebanon. It was great to see Mom and Dad. It had been awhile. My dad's not too good. It's very long and drawn out. He has had so many test, I couldn't begin to remember them all, and they all come back looking great! Blood...kidneys, bladder, cat scans, mri's...but, for some reason, he continues to have severe weakness. He eats great..but it gives him no strength. He needs help in the bath, getting dressed, in and out of bed, and drs. just aren't sure what is causing it. Every test they've preformed has come back fine. He was in the hosp, a couple of weeks ago...had a weak spell, and mom called 911. He was in the hospital for a couple of days, and they did determine that he'd had a mini storke, but the weakness has been long before this. Just keep him in your prayers that drs. can figure out what is causing this weakness, and can hopefully do something to help out.
Of couse, like Mike, Paula, Kelsey, and so many others at church, Mom and Dad thought Mary was beautiful. Not long after we got there, we ordered some pizza's and Lee and Landon went to pick them up. Mom spends all her time with Dad, so can't spend the time cooking and putting together dinners like she use to. But...we are all pizza lovers, and none of us had a problem with that...plus...no big mess to clean up. lol
My day was FABULOUS, as I said...until about 12:30...just as we were pulling in to our street. I had just come off the exit ramp to Prathersville road...where I go right...then left, then an immediate right again, onto our street. As I came off the exit ramp, a car was coming around the corner in front of me. As he passed, I could see that it was a Boone CountY Sheriff. The Sheriff's office and jail, are just about 3-4 miles from our house, so we see them quite often. After he passed, I glanced back in my rear view mirror, just intime to see him do a U'ie in the middle of the road. I am less than a 1/4 mile from my house, and as I turn the corner onto my road, I see his lights come on in back of me. I could NOT believe this...we've been on the road for 1 1/2...had a long day...Moriah has school the next day, and he pulls me over just about 1,000 ft. from my front door. The minute I saw the lights, I looked over at Lee, and said, "What did I do?" He didn't know. I had done NOTHING wrong. Well...Mr. Sheriff informs me...in this order, mind you...the reason I pulled you over is.... "you failed to dim your lights when you passed me." !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You GOT to be kidding!!! He had just watched me come off the interstate, and barely had time to streighten my car out of the turn before he passed me. I will admit, that I forgot they were on, BUT...a simple flash of his lights, is all it would have taken. Next, he informs me, the light bulb is out on my license plate. Well, okay, grant it, I know you're suppose to have one, but the car was just inspected, so I figured it worked. I informed him that I wasn't aware that the bulb was out. Next...he tells me that the plates on my car, don't belong to this car....that they belong to a buick. Well, yeah, they use to be on the buick, BUT, I just got all this done, and trasferred last week, and I immediately told him that the plates WERE registed to this car, and HERE IS MY PAPERWORK. So...needless to say, and I'm SURE glad that he didn't give me a ticket...I would have NOT been happy...when he saw my paperwork to the car...my insurance, my license, and informed me that a bulb cost a $1...(he was WRONG...it cost me $1.60...hehehehehe). BUT, his #1 reason, or so he said at the beginning, for pulling me over, was because I didn't dim my lights. I highly respect the law. You could NOT pay me enough money to do their job, but when something this foolish...as not dimming my lights, gets me pulled over, when I live less than a mile from a trailer park that is full of sexual molesters, and dope dealers, I'm sorry, but that tends to just bend me outta shape, JUST a tad! Not to mention it wasn't the BEST ending to my Mother's Day.
Okay...now that I've had my "sound-off" lol! I got some pictures yesterday of my Mom and Dad and Mary...and Kenny and Gabriel too. I will get them posted tomorrow sometime...probably not till I get home from work, it's getting too late to mess with it now. I'm too tired, and probably couldn't get it to even work right. lol
So, since this thing has turned into a major book, I think, from it's length, I'm gonna head outta here and hit the sack. It was late last night when I got to bed, so need to try and get there a bit earlier tonight. I'll get Pictures posted tomorrow...and that other thing I said I was going to send to...
Hope you had a great day, and a wonderful evening. Have a GREAT tomorrow!
Much love,
Lev
