my "want" and my "to wear" - didn't P do great?!
that afternoon we got the brutally sad news that Muth had died that morning.
Joyce Herring was one of a kind. she impacted everyone she met, for the good!
my friends are missing their dear sweet muth. i feel honored and blessed to have known her.
please pray for wayne and his 5 daughters. they face each day without Muth, but they do not grieve as those without hope. i can't wait to hug her again.
on sunday pat flew with these two to jackson and i flew to nashville for muth's funeral. i am so very glad i got to go. i didn't take a single picture.
that's a happy golf cart!
monday night christmas celebration in madison, ms
tuesday visit to laurel, ms.
we loved getting to see julie and jaime and precious evy
and meme, of course!
never a dull moment...
thank you, uncle chris, for helping freddy put his race car together
4 rayners snug in the backseat of buddy's car on the trip to starkville
to meet and have lunch with abbi and pops.
freddy got a fever and went downhill pretty quickly. :-(
Christmas morning in tupelo
the littlest elf was pretty puny
pretty christmas afternoon walk around highland circle
the next day Pat was down for the count. went to urgent care and was diagnosed with the flu. he was MISERABLE and confined to the downstairs bedroom. pops cooked the turkey on the big green egg and abbi and i had fun doing the rest
we postponed then relocated the christmas meal to rich and carley's house.
i was really missing my partner!
first annual grab-bag
pat was still pretty sick for the flight home. but the Lord spared the rest of us!
glad to be home
i think it takes us about a week to recover from anything
not a great bowl game experience
for either of our teams. oh well! there's always next year!
