The Dolly Parton Tour!

Have I told you that Samuel is on the puppet ministry team at our church? I can't remember.

The pmt is made up of 7 6-12th grade students and one adult leader. They practice once a week and are really good!

They perform at nursing homes, various churches and anywhere else that asks them to come.

Last year they did their version of a singing Christmas Tree at church that was absolutely delightful! It was funny, poignant, and meaningful. Everyone loved it!

Last night they performed a show as the kick-off to their summer puppet tour. They not only perform with puppets but also do some black-light (where everything black can't be seen, but neon and white show up in the light) drama.

Oh my goodness it was good! Let me just say that Samuel was awesome. All the other kids did a great job, but since this is my blog Samuel did super-duper good!!!

I was so proud of all of them. They work so hard to get everything "just right" so that the messages in the songs is never muted by what the puppets are doing. The songs chosen were perfect for everyone in attendance. Old, young, boy, girl.

Today the pmt leaves on their first mission trip. They are headed to the Smoky Mountains to do a few puppet shows. They will also visit Dollywood and the Dixie Stampede. I guess they should have called it the Dolly Parton tour, but that probably wouldn't have gone over very well!! HA!

If you are so inclined, pray for them this week. Samuel is away from me and isn't with any family members. This is a first! Pray for safety, and good times!!

Thanks! Julie

Connie and I will be praying for him and don't worry about him...he is mature beyond his years. I am so proud of of my "senior" grandchild....as I am with all the "junior" grandchildren.

A Blind Date & Leaving Comments

8 years ago today I met this sweet man in the picture above. We met on a blind date in the Bluff City (aka- Memfrica). He and I were simply going out to shut up his stepmother and my sister, who had decided that we were meant to be together from one simple fridge photo and a dog named Abby. Little did we know they would be able to pat themselves on the back for the rest of their lives . I am so glad we both agreed to go out for that one date on New Years Eve 2001 because I have had him in my life everyday since that crazy night at my cousin Hollye's back door when he arrived to pick me up to find a baby on my hip that he thought was mine. I remember those beautiful blue eyes and how they about popped out of his head as he stood at the door wondering why no one had mentioned my child. That baby on my hip was Claire. She was 1 then and had just gone number 2 in her diaper right before he rang the bell. She had Styrofoam all over her and me from playing in Christmas boxes. Needless t

All Aboard The Birthday Polar Express

Can you believe Henry Patton will be 4 years old tomorrow?! Neither can we. We celebrated his birthday last weekend with his first all boy party, polar express style. I had so much fun preparing for it, as you can probably tell! My mother who is never at a loss for words said it looked like Polar Express threw up in my house. She was SO right and we loved it! We had a breakfast pajama party with 7 three and four year old boys. It was such a fun time. I had his pajamas monogrammed with a train and his name. He loved them and I liked how they sort of looked like the ones on the movie. Henry loved all the bells I had everywhere. There is no doubt we believe at this house. We had the jingle loud and proud! I had his invitation made from a shop on Etsy and I was very pleased with them. One of his little friends came to the door ready for me to punch his ticket. It was so cute. I ran to get a hole punch and punched it for him. Every good party has to have go
