This is Sofia's 7th birthday. She is such a joy in every way! We love to hear her chatter on the phone about first grade and all of her activities at church.
Yesterday, Kirk called to tell us that Tamra's mother is dancing with Jesus! Nancy Hyde fought a hard battle with diabetes which caused her to lose both feet. I grieve with Kirk and Tamra's family because of our loss. She was one of the most generous people on the face of the earth, and loved deeply. Last summer, while visiting in California, I was touched by the extreme loyalty that Andy (Tamra's father) showed by traveling back and forth to the hospital daily to be with his wife and lover. He was battling cancer and didn't let it stop him. Again, Nancy let her family know that heaven is for real before she passed from this life, and mentioned people in her past as they are now in the present!
Last Wednesday, I took Mom as my guest to a dinner at Paul's Steak House. It was an appreciation dinner given by our bank. I was impressed because there were no speeches --just New York steak and a good time with other clients. When we left, we were given stone coasters. I wished Bill could have come with us.
Thursday morning, I drove to OKC to pick up Noel at Community Hospital. His neurologist had him to spend the night at the Sleep Center. Later, Janice arrived in Shawnee. She brought a car full of linens etc. for Noel's new apartment. She and Mark stayed until Saturday morning, and then she drove Noel back to Springfield. He will return the end of November for his next doctor's appointment.
Yes! Oklahoma experienced two big earthquakes this past week! The one on Saturday morning registered 5.6 without any explanation. We thought we were back in Japan where they are frequent. I felt no fear, just waited for God to stop rocking the boat. My times are in the hands of a loving God.
