I think that I shall never see

A sight more beautiful than a tree!

Of all the 2000+ pictures I have, this is my 4th picture of my 4th album.  Can you believe it?  I have many that would be much more spectacular,  however,  there is a story behind this one.  If you look beyond the trees you will see Summers' Mill.  On March 1 we went to Belton, Texas to  celebrate Bill and Alma's 50th wedding anniversary.  A bonus to being there with them, Neal and Lita also were there so we got to have some quality time with them.  This picture was taken during one of the walks we had with them.  The weather was great, just perfect for a stroll through the ranch.  I have pictues of the ostrich that Neal tried to "spook" but alas, it was not the 4th picture of the 4th album.  Now, it's up to Sue.  Sue, you've been tagged. 

Thank God for Drs.

Today Wayford was examined by a couple of neurologists in regard to his Bell's Palsy.  It was amazing to observe all the tests the Drs. went through.  The professional way they conducted themselves was awesome.  It  has not changed the diagnoses of Bell's Palsy but they determined to do further testing to make sure there is not an underlying cause for the palsy.  So an MRI will be forthcoming.  Also, electra????? to determine the way the nerves are still responding, to predict the further improvement of the muscles in his face.  Wayford said "My dad didn't check a horse over that well before he bought it."  They even had him walking barefoot in the hall, on his heels, one foot in front of the other (I think that was to see if he had been drinking!).  I knew he should have washed his feet.  My mother always made us wash our feet before we went to bed because "You never know if you might have to go to the hospital in the middle of the night!"  See!!  It could happen!.  

We are excited tonight because it looks as if our entire family will be together again at Christmas.  The last time that happened was in about 1996.  We are praying for good weather, and  for everyone to stay healthy.

Lectureship week-end

The Great Lakes Christian College Lectureship began on Friday night and ended at noon today with a joint service between some of the churches in the Beamsville Area.  The Tintern people were to be commended for providing classes and baby sitting for the children all day Saturday and during worship this morning.   The theme for the lectures was "That you may believe" taken from the book of John.  The presentations were very helpful.

Wayford is still struggling with Bell's Palsy.  We are documenting his progress ( or lack of progress) with a digital camera.  He is now in his fourth week.  At this point there may have been a slight improvement in his speech and his eye irritation.  It is so slight it is difficult to measure.  Even though it is annoying, we hear of so many more difficult things to deal with.  It has curtailed his public speaking for the time being.
