It has been a busy 2 weeks. We had achievement night for the 4-H. The Oldest got county champion for one of his project books, a bronze level award for his achievement record and reporter of the year. The Youngest is not old enough for the competition level yet. He did a great job on his project record.

The 4-H hosted a talent show for the home school group. The Oldest got second place for a comedy routine he did. The Youngest played the piano and enter a photo in the photography contest. I was very proud of him playing the piano in front of people. It wasn't long ago that I had to force him to lead the Pledge of Allegiance in front of his friends at a 4-H meeting. He has come a long way.

The Husband's Grandma worked for God even in her funeral. One of her great-nieces talked to The Husband there. She is recently moved to Greenville. He invited her to call us if she needed anything and invited her to church with us. She came yesterday and seemed to be effected by God's presence. God worked through Grandma to reach The Husband and hopefully the niece. God's Glory is showing through her legacy as it did in her life.

The Husband's grandmother is a wonderful woman. She is 89 years old. She still has a garden, chickens, and cows. She takes food to many older people, most of whom are younger than she is. She still drives, but only in the day time and never on the highway. She visits people in nursing homes and the hospital every week. She is sometimes called the chewing gum lady because every letter she sends has a stick of chewing gum in it, usually Juicy Fruit. She sends many cards and letters. Most people call her Aunt Mary. She is the oldest of 12 children, so she is aunt, great aunt or great-great aunt to many people. Before the driving restrictions, she was at every church event at her church and many at other churches. Among the few possessions I have that I truly treasure are the quilts she has made for me and my family.
The Husband's Grandmother died on Monday. She is celebrating with Jesus, but many, many people are going to miss her.
