FENDER BENDER - Better coverage

Monday, I never look forward to Mondays. I like to spend time at home, linger. But everybody has to make a living!
So I was on the road, almost at my destination.
I was driving easy, going thru Canyon Lake and coming to a stop when, BAM!!! Everything went crashing in the car, CDs flying, the sunroof opened - I had been hit. When I got out of the car and saw the vehicle behind me, I thought that mine would look the same. The whole front end was on the ground, lights hanging etc... the young lady appeared shook up. Then behind her was the culprit, a third party, a small truck, teenagers driving too fast, not paying attention to traffic. They had hit her and propelled her unto me. When I finally looked at the back of the Camry, WHAT? I could not see any real damage. A closer look revealed deep scratches on the bumper and a small indent. Nothing to speak of. I was astonished. When someone took pictures, they could not believe it. It didn't seems possible that THIS car was in THAT accident! But it was! I was driving it!
After complying with the police officer, I was on my way.
Don't tell me that God does not work miracles! Both vehicles looked pretty bad - not mine. Thank you Lord for your protection. I'm glad I had spent plenty of time with my Friend earlier in the day... The young lady had said to me " I want a car like yours", but I know it was the Coverage that made the difference.

CHANGES - Life goes on

The last ones
Grandma's sisters
Christine, Ritha and Wilma

So we had a Memorial for Grandpa and Grandma. A celebration of the lives of Bill and Maxine Robinson.
We heard Bluegrass. Grandpa recorded a couple of CD's. He was President of the Bluegrass Association and a marvelous musician. Owned enough guitars to open shop - over a dozen in all, harmonicas too. And how he could sing! His music room was his castle and the garden his second passion!
Grandma was the queen of secondhand store and bought to give. And she read. Books were close to a "hand extension". Purchased on sale of course! Horses were the second love of her life after her family.

The new generation
Second degree cousins
Brianna and Kevin

This is what really caught my attention. The only two little ones attending were dancing. Great grand children, dancing to the sound of Grandpa singing and playing bluegrass - he would have loved it.

10 YEARS OLD - Happy Birthday Jacob

Jacob,
What do you say about a boy like you? Some of your favorite things are reading, playing word games, talking about articles from the National Geographic, discussing facts and scientific stuff, Bible truths, making up jokes and play on words - brain stuff !!!



Do you remember that day at Denny's? Tati, Trevor and you had a "hangman" tournament - I took turns coloring with Samuel.
I love to see your beaming smile. You are an amazing boy!!!
You surprised me so much the other day working on a crossword puzzle in Discover magazine. That's grown up material !!! I'm not ashamed to say that you knew more answers than me. I love it! We've got to work on that one some more. You love going to the zoo, visiting historical places. But let's not forget Legos - that still a boy's fun toy. Your Daddy and Tonton grew up on it.
Thank you for always lending a helping hand - we call it work LOL but you really enjoy it. Don't grow up to fast my love, it will happen by itself. Keep God and His Word in the forefront of you thoughts, talk to Him of your dreams and trust in Him for you needs. I know, it's a bit "grown up" but you are big enough inside.
When your mother was in the hospital for 3 months and you stayed with me, we worshipped the Lord everyday,you would raise your hands. Your first word was "LAH" for hallelujah - precious.
My prayer for you is that God's hand will be on you and that you would serve Him always.
I love you Jacob André Roseberry,
Grandmaman

ON THE LIGHT SIDE - French humor

With Gas the Way it is this isn't far from the truth.

A thief in Paris planned to steal some paintings
from the Louvre.

After careful planning, he got past security,
stole the paintings, and made it safely to his van.
However, he was captured only two blocks away
when his van ran out of gas.

When asked how he could mastermind such a crime
and then make such an obvious error, he replied,
"Monsieur, that is the reason I stole the
paintings."
"I had no Monet to buy Degas to make the Van Gogh."

See if you have De Gaulle to send this on to
someone else.

I sent it to you because I figured I had nothing
Toulouse.

This is not deep, but sometimes a good play on words is a lot of fun! E-mailed to me by my son Don-André. Thank you!!!
