and takes them to the therapy room to play.

After visiting with my aunt Charlsie for her 92 birthday at the nursing home I went with my sister Lynette and Tanner to take Jack and Mallie to see their Mom, Jessie, at the pharmacy. She took a minute out of her busy day filling prescriptions to let the kids run around and give them hugs and kisses.

Mom-in-Law Gift

Had lunch this afternoon with Chris' s mom at Donna's. She gave me a Family Dollar plastic bag. I just opened it. In the bag is a lint brush, a roll of medi-tape and a pair of socks. What a thoughtful bag. I love my mom-in-law.....

Home Town Tallent

Grew up listening to her family singing old timey hyms. The family sang at my momma and daddy's funerals. What talent they were and so is she. So young with such talent. Things will only get better. Link to interview and performance on Live at Five:

Yes. My name is m a r n a. Not Myrna, Marta, Marva, Merna, Myra, Murna, and so on. (Although many call me Marnie and I like that one.) As an extremely shy child I hated my name. The first day of the school year was torture for me as most of the teachers could never pronounce my name. By high school, much to my secret delight, my classmates began correcting the teacher the first time it was flubbed up, often spelling it out during that first roll call. I think they had figured out I was too shy to do so. Overly attached to my mother I missed a lot of school until 9th grade, where I was scared of the Vice Principle and no longer complained of stomach aches. In the third grade my mother told me once the teacher asked if my middle name was "Stephanie". My mother said, "No". Seems I had started writing Stephanie on my schoolwork. My teacher continued to let me do so, which only last a few days. It's a miracle I have a master's degree after all my problems with school phobia. My mother is now in Heaven, no doubt, looking down on me in amazement. One of her biggest fears was I would not attend college. Here's to you momma. So sorry I grieved you so many mornings before school and so many afternoons with phone calls of "stomach aches". <><
