Lunch with Family

This Weekend has been very different.

To let you know first and foremost:

Everyone is in town because my grandfather.. (My dads father) was admitted last Wednesday and had a pacemaker put in... and is losing some blood. He is doing better, but they are still going to do a scope thing tomorrow, and try to see where he is losing blood, if he is losing any at all. So, since he was admitted into Lewis Gale, which is 5 minutes away,

family has gathered here to see him in the hospital.

He has just been moved from Critical Care to a normal room!

That is wonderful news because visitation was very strict in the other unit.

Today after church we went to the hospital, but

visitation was over when we got there, so we went out for lunch!

Mama Maria's prepared us a nice lunch.

This is the Family. (sorry for the blurry pics, not sure what happened)This is My sis, (Left) and My cousin (Right)

This is my Dads sis, Kel (L) and my uncle Darren's wife, Kathy (R)
This is the family again from a different corner.
This is my Daddy, and my uncle Darren...

It has been SOO nice to see everyone here. And even better before Christmas! Darren and Kathy live 1 hr and 20 minutes away, and Kelly and her husband Jimmy live near Darren and Kathy...

My dad and Sheila live 45 minutes away, and Shirley lives about 45 minutes away also...

so, no one was real close to home. . .

I am just glad that my grandad pulled through well, and is going to be going home in a couple days!

Oh.... and..... off the topic completely.......

Nick Shaffer's parents came to church today!!!!! This is huge...

Those of you who don't know who Nick Shaffer is,

he is our pastor who has been preaching for 15 years, and his parents have

never come to church to see him preach, and TODAY THEY WERE THERE!

This is a great day.

I am greatful that I got to see them there.
