He accidentally went into someone else's lane and the guy didn't even try to stop. Then when Bubba asked him to get a medic because his arm was broken, he took off running. I just know this New Year is going to get better! 2009-01-05 http://www.pleonast.com/user/joc?l=5&entryID=615631 Alexis has just been diagnosed with pneumonia. She is not hospitalized, but is a sick little girl. Please say a prayer for her. 2009-01-04 http://www.pleonast.com/user/joc?l=5&entryID=611892 One of my Christmas Dolls. She was the one I had handy to take pictures of. I'll get lots more during the holidays of the others (at least some of the others). Bubba and family won't get to come until spring. Hope you all have a Happy Holiday with those you love most. 2008-12-22 http://www.pleonast.com/user/joc?l=5&entryID=610481 My great-nephews, Gavin and Logan, and great-grandaughter, Alexis 2008-12-17 http://www.pleonast.com/user/joc?l=5&entryID=609664 If you ever decide to give away the coat off your back to help a poor person, you might want to check your pockets. My brother and sister-in-law who live in Washington were on their way home (from 20 miles away), when they spotted a lady with no coat, trying to keep her sleeves down over her gloveless hands. She said she had two children and was trying to get help. My sister-in-law gave her the wool coat she was wearing as well as her gloves. Later, they discovered their cell phone was in the coat pocket. It was not answered when they called it. That lady was probably quite surprised to hear rings coming from that coat. The phone is now deactivated. 2008-12-15 http://www.pleonast.com/user/joc?l=5&entryID=609213 I'm not a big football fan or anything, but it is noteworthy that our little town has a team that is going to state! They played Kerrville today and won with a field goal when the clock was out of time. They will be playing Sulphur Springs for the State Finals. Go Broncos!!! 2008-12-13 http://www.pleonast.com/user/joc?l=5&entryID=608551 2008-12-11 http://www.pleonast.com/user/joc?l=5&entryID=607067 Matt graduated Friday and he made it back to Texas Saturday. I snapped this picture when he stopped by on the way to his Mom's from the airport. Can't believe he is soooo "grown up"!!! 2008-12-08 http://www.pleonast.com/user/joc?l=5&entryID=606376 After Matthew's battle with a snakebite that left him unable to walk properly for many months and a life flight to the hospital just before graduation last May due to a head injury along with some other pretty serious problems that he has overcome along the way, I am proud to say that our grandson, Matt, is graduating and becoming a new Marine today. He is quite a trooper! To add to the celebration...today is Matt's 20 birthday. There is family there with him today. They had their obstacles to overcome to get there. His Mother and step father had delayed planes. The last delay was unbelievable. Someone with major stomach problems messed up the plane so bad people were having to deboard while it was cleaned. I won't go into details, but it was not good!!! After all was cleaned the guy who was sick rode the plane with them. Bubba, (our son that was in the Marines and was one of the first group to go in when the war with Iraq began) was flying there from Boston and ... 2008-12-05 http://www.pleonast.com/user/joc?l=5&entryID=603154 The bible verse that comes to mind...Romans 8:28 "And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose." 2008-11-25
