Thanksgiving - The Sequel!
We left Greensboro at 10:14 AM. We arrived in Macungie at 6:50 PM. This was a gorgeous day for traveling! Far different from the trip down on Wednesday!
Dinner was ready when we arrived at the Davis Compound. A second huge dinner of turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, veggies, sweet potatoes, rolls, and green bean casserole was enjoyed by 14 Davis-type-people. Kenny was really wishing he could have come with us, too!
We topped off dinner with pies of all sorts! Blueberry, pumpkin, apple, pecan and (my personal favorite...) CHOCOLATE!!! My mother-in-law loves me! I'm her favorite! I know this because I was her first daughter-in-law! Whatever Marilyn and Brenda tell you, remember...I AM THE FAVORITE!
Tomorrow will be a bit of shopping with the girls while the guys replace a water pump on the truck. Yes, we have had quite a ride with vehicles in the past couple weeks. We are so thankful the Lord allowed us to make it safely to Macungie so our personal mechanics will be on hand to perform the necessary surgery. Recovery time shouldn't be long so that we will be able to head home later in the day.
God is so good! We are so blessed with family who can love, laugh, work, and play together! Thank you, Lord, for our family!

Happy Thanksgiving!
Today we shared the parade, turkey, stuffing, sweet potato casserole, cranberry sauce, rolls, veggies, gravy and Waldorf Salad! After dinner the dads took a nap! Then we drove to High Point to see Grandma Story.
What a delight! She is so precious! She spent the day at my Aunt Becky's and returned just as we arrived at her place! She 
was tired from the day's events but said, "It's a good tired!" Mom, Cressalyn and I helped her get into her night clothes and into bed. Grandma told us that she's still not sure why God hasn't called her home. I told her there was still wallpaper that needed to be done on her mansion. Then she said with a twinkle in her eye, "Maybe Daddy isn't finished painting!"

Then she said with a twinkle in her eye, "Maybe Daddy isn't finished painting!" It was a joy to hear her talk of Heaven! She told each of us that she is praying for us and watching to see the kids grow and the direction God leads them. She told Ken she prays for his ministry. That is so awesome!
We don't know how many more holidays we will have with her in this world. Grandma said she feels this is her last Thanksgiving. We'll see.
I am so thankful for a godly heritage! I am so thankful that my children are all serving the Lord!
Thank you, Lord!
Kenny!
It Thanksgiving Day! Yesteray we made our way from PA to NC. Kenny left SC and headed to NC. We actually arrived at Nana & Papa's 5 minutes after Kenny! Pretty good! Although Kenny should have arrived a lot sooner. He hit a ton of traffic and the weather was less than perfect for travel. Here's a look at the results of his traveling experience. 
Yes, Kenny's car is missing some of the front grill. In the traffic near Charlotte, the lady in front of Kenny stopped short and Kenny reacted... but not soon enough. He hit her. They were going very slow so the damage to her vehicle wasn't bad. But what frustrates this mother is that her first words to Kenny was "You aren't going to run off, are you?" He assured her he would remain at the scene. Her next question/ statement was "You DO have insurance, don't you?" Yes. Of course. He was being stereotyped already!
The police came and took all the information. He was given a ticket and everyone was sent on their way. The lady was careful to tell Kenny that her husband was not going to be happy (who would be happy???) and that the car is brand new. (Of course it is!! You can't be lucky to rearend a old beater of a car!!)
These are the first pictures of Kenny on Thanksgiving Day! There will be more as the day goes on!

Praise the Lord!!
Kenny's results are that he has shin splints. There is no sign of infection! Yippeee!!!! Thank you all for your prayers!
He went today and got a brace for his ankle/leg and he reports that it feels so good! He doesn't need to have the crutches, either.
Praise the Lord!

Pray for Kenny
Satan attacks when you are in the center of God's will. Our Kenny has had a battle during this first semester at college. When he arrived he had a relapse of the infaction in his knee. That has been taken care of for now. Also, in the weeks prior to leaving for school Kenny injurred his leg at teen camp. Then Kenny struggled a bit to get a job. The next thing that happened was his relationship with Sarah ended. Now, he was cleared to participate in the cross country team's events about a month ago. 
Last Saturday he ran over 5 miles in his last meet. He began having pain in his left leg but continued through the race to finish. By Sunday night he was in some severe pain. When he left work he went to the ER. (Kenny is the one in the back, center - check out the hair!)
Today Kenny was evaluated by an orthopedic doctor. He is scheduled for a bone scan next Tuesday. They are looking at a possible tear in his ankle and for possible stress fractures in his shin.
Please join us in praying for Kenny's healing. He is out of work now until it is decided what the next step is in his treatment. He's only been working a few weeks and is planning to come home for Christmas. Pray that things will heal quickly so he doesn't miss any classes. Thank you.

The Law of Physics
What goes up must come down.
What happens when a 37 year old woman walks across a parking lot and steps on a stick?
I wish there had been a video camera present! I wish I had been able to be the one behind the camera! I wish I had been paying closer attention to where my feet we going!
When a 37 year old woman steps on a stick in the parking lot her ankle rolls and she hits the ground and rolls to her back.
Honestly, I really wanted to look up at the blue sky from a better perspective!

Fall Concert
Tonight's concert at Harrisville Central School was very well attended by the families of the students and community. Here are some pictures. Cressalyn was in the chorus and played flute in the band. Nathan played percussion in the band. Look carefully at the closer one of Cressalyn playing the flute.
Nathan is in the background. The lighting in the auditorium and the quality of my camera's zoom minus the flash = low quality details in the picture!
