Such a beauty!

Mom had to come to town yesterday for a dermatologist appointment. My grandson, Austin, was staying with Ollie and me for the day, so I wasn't able to go with her. Ollie, Whitney, Austin and I did, however, meet her at Luby's Cafeteria for lunch! Mom loves to eat there and wishes that there was one in Marble Falls! I think they'd eat there almost daily!

Anyway, as I walked in the door of Luby's and saw Mom, I was a little taken back at how pretty she is! Do you do that? See a person you've known all of your life and see them differently from time to time? She has such a positive attitude, is an optimist, but a realist, is a Godly woman, a frugal but generous person and is beautiful inside and out. I say prayers of thanks for my parents every day! I am so blessed to have been raised by Mildred and Harvey Smith!

Dad stayed home with Jerry. He just doesn't love coming to Austin! He'd just as soon stay home in his chair! Dad and his chair...since I was a kid, Dad has had "his chair"! I remember that when Dad would get home from work, he'd head straight for "his chair." It was his sanctuary. We were very careful not to disturb him until he'd been in his chair for a while! Mom raised us to respect Dad and the fact that he worked hard and deserved some peace and quite when he got home! "Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right." Ephesians 6:1

Amen!
