Gas Prices???

Well, they did it!! Yesterday at RaceWay gas was $3.529 and this morning at 5:30am it was $3.699. WOW! What a jump! Would you call this price gouging? I don't know if that is what THEY would call it, but sounds fishy, huh?

Yes, I have a full tank of gas at the present time. We have water set aside for drinking and cooking. Jack has the yard mowed. Yes, we are trying to be prepared. This is going to be a major storm. Hurricane Rita hit us when Katrina did not. Mostly because of where we live. Hurricane Gustav looks like it could come to visit us according to the predictions from the weather station. We will see.

Hope you are all having a great day...and depending on when Gustav visits and if he kills our electricity, I will try to get back and let you know how we are fairing.

Love to all,

It's coming!!

Hey all,

Well, here it is Aunt Judy, Martha, and Marks' birthday!!!!! Hope you all had a great day!

It's coming! What is it? Hurricane Gustov is on its way. And the way it looks, it could come to us very easily.!? Gas is already close to being unavailable for us. I was in Many this morning and most of the tanks had plastic bags on the nozzles. Some of them had notes stating that they only had the high octane. We heard that the delivery trucks were bypassing us and going on to the south to get the gas to them so they can evacuate. This makes sense, altho, we need it here so we can fill our cars as we are still able to drive to work.

The USPS regional director has sent a memo to us stating that we MUST fill our vehicles every day. No matter what. We are to be ready to deliver mail. If for some reason we are not able to deliver it, we will be notified by the Postal Service as to what to do. We have an emergency # to call to verify if we will receive mail to deliver and to whether we will report to work or not.

Some of the nursing homes have already evacuated patients to the homes in Natchitoches. They are not going to let happen to these people that had happened to some during Katrina. Maybe someone learned a hard lesson??? There are several shelters here in Sabine Parish as well as Natchitoches Parish. I believe we are ready for them. I was listening to the disaster control director this morning on the radio and he said they have several paper products donated to the shelter. There are still some mighty good, sharing people in our area and around the world.

Guess I'll go for now, as I need to shower and get ready for bed soon. I am delivering mail again tomorrow. YES!!! I have been at the post office every day since last Sat. except Sun.

Hope you all have a great day.......

Wow, how time flies when you are having fun!

I've been so busy with work that I haven't been on here for a while. Yes, I've checked my e-mail, but not been on this site. SORRY!

As I said the last time, I've been learning another route for the post office. This week I am going to try my best to learn the last route. I may not need to sub on this route as much as the other 3. But I will be able to be available if needed. Hopefully this will eventually get me on more than a day or two a week.

Lyndsy is reallly enjoying staying with Gracie while her mom works. Lyndsy is still waiting for the results of her MCAT test. Soon we will hear.

I have two children who will have a birthday this month. Martha and Mark will both have a b-day on the 29th. There are 4 years between their ages. While they were small, I would either bake and decorate a cake with both of their requests on the one cake. You know divide the cake by icing and put something on one side for the girl and something else for a boy on the other side.
If I didn't have time to bake, I would go to the bakery and order one. Awwww, those were the days. If you two are reading this, H A P P Y B I R T H D A Y ! ! ! ! Mama loves you very much!

Well, must need to go to work and deliver mail. Have an enjoyable day!

Hello everyone!!

It has been a verrry long week.! But an enjoyable one. I did learn a new route for the post office in Robeline. That makes 3 routes that I know. I am now able to sub on all three. Whew! There is one more route to learn. I've been on it a couple of times but not driven it myself. It makes it easier when you drive it than riding in anothers' vehicle.

Lyndsy is starting a job today babysitting. She is still waiting for the results of her MCAT before she is able to enroll in med school. This is a job to fill in the time until further notice. The mother was Lyndsy's assistant during VBS. Lyndsy had the 3-5 years olds to teach. Gracie is 3 and her mother is a teacher's aide at the Many Elementary School in Many. Lyndsy is looking forward to watching Gracie for the next few weeks.

For those of you who do not know, Lyndsy graduated from Northwestern State University in Natchitoches, LA last May. She majored in Biology and minored in Chemistry and Microbiology. She ended with a 3.712 gpa, Magna Cum Laude. Yes, we are proud of our 'little girl'!!

Jack is still working at Big Star Toledo cutting meat. It is engraved in his blood to cut meat.! LOL
He drives approx. 45 min. one way to work as this store in close to the lake. (Toledo Bend Lake)

Hope you all have a great day!! We will!

Sorry I haven't been on here for a few days. I have been training for a new route at the Post Office. Quite busy and very tiring. But the Lord is good and has supplied another way to earn a little more money to pay the bills that just keep coming in.

Ok folks, here's the names on the pics for you. Going from top to bottom........Mom, Crystal, Ed and Marika, Cliff, Jeff and Dorothy, Dad, Marika, the 7 of us--Mary, Eileen, Dorothy, Donald, Allen, Clifford and Jeffery--, Mark and Lyndsy, Dorothy and Me. I tried to put a slideshow on this site to no avail. It has closer shots of Don and Evie.

Hope you are all having a great day in the LOrd's presence. Love to all.

Another great day in the Lord's presence!

I went to Mrs. Mary Jame's home and picked her up and we went to Natchitoches to Heritage Manor and held a Bible study for them. Today I talked about forgiving and forgiveness. We really enjoyed the company.

I stopped at the Post Office I work part time from and was asked to learn another route. YES!!! This means I will get to work more than one day a week. It will be 2 days! It will take a while for me to learn this new route. It is longer than the one I sub on, and it works out of 2 PO's. All I can say is PRAISE THE LORD!
