At last!

We ended up having to get a new modem from the AT&T guy, not sure what that will cost! But we are online! Hoping to stay online now.

Tomorrow in a.m. I have the interview about Preston's medicaid. So we are praying it won't take long, and that he will get it.

Today was Missie's school picnic and she had a wonderful day! This is the best situation for her! She is thriving and doing well.

On Sunday, we had Bro. Hedstrom at our church both services. He preached the a.m. service. John Parker had told him about us moving up here and he didn't figure out who it was until he saw Preston on Sunday night, and then came and talked to us. It wasn't too long ago he was at our Easley church. It is really a small world after all.

Preston still mentions that he misses SC; and his church; but I think he will fine. Change is harder on him than the rest of us.

Last night Missie and I went to Women of Worth. We are so close to everything here; it takes less gas since we moved here, because everything is so close, except Jr.'s work which is about 30 min. away. Anyhow, we enjoyed the meeting; one of the ladies from a pregnancy center spoke to us and we had a baby shower and she took lots of goodies back to the shelter that we donated. One meeting we are going to get together and make handmade cards! This will be lots of fun. We will send them to shut-ins, sick people, absent people, missionaries etc.

Union Bible College is having Old Fashioned Day in a couple of weeks; and Missie plans to attend. It is nice to live where there are lots of activities for her, and people she can go places with. She is excited about going as she has friends at UBC.

I found out about a clinic in town, that is donations only. They have a couple of drs. that come in and they give meds., so I may take Missie there about her arthritis. She has good days and bad days. But she needs some arthritis medication instead of just pain meds. But she hates to have to go; but she does hurt a lot more up here than she did in SC. So we will see how it goes. I may end up taking Preston too to get guidance about where to take him for his specialists. Until we get medicaid, we can't take him to any specialists. We don't have the money to pay for the visit. We are really broke now! Jr. is making less money and we have a school bill; although my mom is helping with the school bill, thank the Lord. She is also buying us a stove! We did get a refrigerator, and the same people have a stove, and Mom wants us to have it. My mom is so good to her children; she is a precious mom. I hope I have her for many many more years. Missie would love to get a job to help out, but it is hard to find someone to hire 14 yr. olds. Someone told her of an icecream place that hired but when Jr. took her there, she had to be 16 to get a job. It might be too much on her to work very much and go to school, until we get the arthritis situation under control, but she sure would like too.

It is my bedtime, so I will go for now.
