September 24, 2010

My first Angel Trumpet!Me with Dabo Swinney 9 23 2010. I look so old next to this young man!Mom has been moved to the Hospice House here in Anderson. It is a wonderful place and very quiet and calm. I believe it is the right situation for her and for me at this point. Another thing is Mom has assurance of her salvation with Jesus so she is ready to go when He calls. I was sitting with her on Thursday and Dabo Swinney, the Head Football Coach at Clemson, came to visit one of the patients. He let me take a picture with him.

When I was in Chattanooga with Mom so much I fell in love with a plant that bloomed every year across the street from Mary Beasley. She told me what they were called (Angel Trumpets) so I bought two plants this year. The hail beat them up really bad but one of them came back and bloomed and surprised me. It was a real treat for me but I am sad that Mom did not get to see it bloom.

I lost a good friend this week. She died suddenly and it has shocked and saddened us all. I don't believe there is anyone on earth that enjoyed being a mother and grandmother as much as Rosemary did. I know they will cherish her love for the rest of their lives. She also leaves many good and dear friends.

John and I will certainly be glad to get some rain as will our yard and the lake here in Anderson. It has been at least 3 weeks since I remember rain. We have yet to get a new roof yet from the big hail storm June 15 but there is time to do the repairs and it will be cooler for the workers too.
