Monday Monday

Saturday we went to Tarrant to help a little more at the old Home Place. I helped paint ceilings and walls and Rick hung a fan and some of the younger guys pulled up most of the carpet and padding. The hardwood floors (that Mom used to make me get on my knees with the Johnson's paste wax every summer) still looked OK. They will need refinishing, but should turn out well. We all had to wear masks to keep from breathing in all the dust. I have more pictures but have not had time to download them yet. Saturday night, our son, Todd, flew in from Idaho. We have not seen him in 16 months. He is between jobs and is here to help clean out and fix up a house in Tarrant that we forclosed on several months ago for Mom. None of us have had time to see about it. We had the locks changed but someone had broken in. The A/C and hot water heater and all exposed wiring had also been stolen. It is going to be a real challenge to get it ready to sell. Sunday was a GREAT day! John Alan decided to give his life to Jesus Christ and was baptized by Jerry Jenkins of the Roebuck Church of Christ. We are so very proud of John for making this important decision. I went today for all the tests and to talk with Dr. Vaughan about the Bone Marrow transplant. I hope that all will turn out fine because I want to help Terry so much. Please, PLEASE pray that his cancer cell levels will stay low so they will let him proceed with the Transplant. Terry went today for the same tests I had, just at different times. They took 16 vials of blood to do a complete profile. It was a long tiring Monday for all of us.
