We went over to Jason and Samantha's yesterday afternoon for a pre-deployment get together. Jason is like my own. I love him so much!!! I have watched him grow up all these years. So proud of the husband, the dad, the man he has become. And as one of our soldiers - I salute him. Praying for his safety in these days, weeks, months and time to come. Praying that God be with him and use him, but bring him home safely to his Samantha and to their son, and to us his family and friends. I LOVE YOU JASON!!!

It was good to sit and visit with family ... enjoyed the time talking with old friends. It was hot - but then, it is Texas ... and July! LOL!!!

Oh, I made the Twinkie Cake yesterday... and it was good!!! I used peaches, pineapple, strawberries, kiwi, and marachino cherries. Still plenty for today and tomorrow and ... LOL!!!

We watched "Amazing Grace" again yesterday ... I say it everytime we watch it - but if anyone thinks that one person cannot change our world (for good or bad) they need to see this movie!!! Passion in a person can change everything!!! Amazing Grace - the website.
