Something to be thankful for....

Okay, last night at bedtime the neighbor knocks on my door and proceeds to tell me that his dog attacked my cat and he is pretty sure it was bad enough to kill the cat. No way to know for sure because the cat took off running into another neighbors yard once the dog let go of his neck. The dog needed stitches because my cat sliced him up pretty bad. So, needless to say, after searching for him till about 11:30 and then giving up, I cried myself to sleep. Repeated the process before work, and then again when I came home for lunch. Tonight, just in case , I was putting food and water on the front porch for him. I asked Chad to open the door for me because my hands were full. As soon as he opened the door, there sat the cat on the front porch. Not one single scratch on him. Can you believe that? So, needless to say, the Rainvilles are celebrating tonight and the snuggles with Rusty are much, much sweeter than they were before.

A Little Sunday Afternoon Fun

Mom and Jeff were in town Sunday so they came to church with us, then came over afterward for a back yard cook out. We had alot of fun just hanging out. The boys didnt like having to "shew flies" off their food constantly though.

Happy Birthday Chad

Yesterday was Chad's 35th birthday. He left the house before any of us woke up, and he didnt get home until the kids had went to bed. Poor Seth had even set the table for the cake and ice cream. Chad felt so bad that he agreed to get them up out of bed. Only, Ryan had a different plan.....to stay in bed. So, Seth and Devin and I sang happy birthday to him...and that kept Seth pacified till this morning. We had chocolate birthday cake at 6:30 this morning; sang to him and made him blow out the candles too. :) We got him this i phone for his birthday. I ordered it a little early not wanting to take any chances, so he has had it a week or so.
Tonight, Drakes Creek played against Glasgow. We lost 30 - 8. It was pitiful, or should I say rediculous. Devin didnt do very well either. He managed to make a really good tackle, but he let a couple get away from him. He is struggling with his heel hurting and you could tell cause he was alot slower out on the field tonight. The muscle that runs under his heel; I think the doc called it his achilles. I always forget the muscle names. Anyway, Dr. Kelly told him he wasnt stretching enough. Hopefully we can redeem ourselves on Tuesday against Franklin-Simpson.

Look who stopped by for a visit

Mindy and Steve were in town visiting her parents and decided to take their bikes on a ride. They found themselves in our driveway. This was her first "real" ride since they bought her bike. They looked so cute pulling out of the driveway on his Harley and her Honda? I think it is. Steve is going to buy her a Harley too once she masters riding on the smaller bike.

"The Young Man"

Devin was the youth speaker in church today. He gave me so much grief over it and was even vowing to not do it on the way to church. So, I was mentally preparing myself to give his talk, when at the last minute he said he would do it. He did SOOOO good. If he was nervous, you couldnt tell it. His talk was on charity. After church, I had to capture the moment with a picture. This was the only smile I could muster out of him. It will do.
