Springtime in Greenville

Greetings on this semi-sunny Mother's Day. Hannah and I came up for the weekend to spend this special day with Mom. Mom is doing well although her hair is thinning out more. She has had 10 chemo treatments and has 8 to go. Dad seems to be more confused and in need of more help to do things. Mom continues to need your prayers not only for her own health concerns but for strength physically and mentally as Dad's care can be both demanding and stressful. I wanted to share with you some of Mom's gardening work and why she (any several others...more on this later) are working to clean up from the Amish logging mess. I confess these pictures are from previous years but it still looks the same.

For those of you who maybe didn't understand the title of the last post, let me explain. After Mom and Dad started attending Crossroads Christian Fellowship, they missed seeing some people from their former church and Jeanne Ball's playing of the traditional hymns. As a result, she started hosting hymn sings with attendance up to 25 people. Desserts and fingerfoods follow and good times are had by all. She has been doing this for four years now. So that is why it was especially nice that for a change, she was sung to. (If I ended that sentence wrongly with a preposition I admit that I was never really good at English.)
