Your love must be real. Hate what is evil, and hold on to what is good. Love each other like brothers and sisters. Give each other more honor than you want for yourselves. Do not be lazy but work hard, serving the Lord with all your heart. Be joyful because you have hope. Be patient when trouble comes, and pray at all times. -Romans 12:9-12

Sunday: day of rest...literally.
Quite peaceful around here this afternoon. Holly & I cleaned up after lunch and walked into the den to find our dear husbands asleep and basketball on the TV. Hope you're all having a restful Sunday.

Glad all is restful at the home-front... Gail and I are going back to Adams to finish installing their hardwood floors this weekend. Will take some "before and after" pics to send when we get back. Currently Barrett calls us Ghee and "G"-daddy. I expect he will be repeating a million times (like he did last time we were installing the flooring) - "G-daddy knock-knock, G-daddy knock-knock" throughout the weekend. Love Jerry
troy was a little irritated about this post...thought he and dad appeared lazy...well, we call 'em like we see 'em! just kidding...love you mama & daddy.
Holly confused me for a moment (this is the other Troy) because I didn't remember being a little irritated. One must assume that if Uncle Roy has his feet up, we just missed all the excitement. I miss you guys and this blog is a wonderful idea. Love Troy
Pleased to get up-date from Jerry regarding helping Adam/Haley/Barrett + hard wood flooring job know it will be great...& Troy glad you're on line so we can stay in touch + up to date...hope all is well...take care...Love ya! Uncle Roy
Here's a news flash I didn't ever expect to announce - Anthony (my middle son) got accepted into the Honors College at WCU after his first semester. Here I was, worried that he wouldn't take things seriously, and he turns around and exceeds my expectations. All that, and he misses us too. Not that we haven't had a couple of issues with him thinking that he's suddenly a grownup, but, on the whole, it's gone well so far. Anyway, just wanted to brag on him for a minute and let you know what's going on in our house. Love, Troy
As much as I would like to take credit, I almost feel like it's more "in spite of" than "because of". But you're right about one thing, nothing feels better than seeing them do well. You get glimpses of the men they're becoming and it makes me think that maybe we didn't do too badly. Honors College doesn't come without a price, however. During the first semester, we wrote and rewrote half his papers over the phone and he's already promised me even more rough drafts to look forward to this semester. Between helping with homework and catching up his laundry every other weekend, we almost feel like he's still at home. The rest of my household is doing well. I am equally proud of my other two, we are just lacking a momentous event for me to announce. Love, Troy
