WHAT'S IN MY HEAD TONIGHT

Our little barbecue didn't go as planned. We had invited our minister, his wife and their three children along with two other couples. Everyone came, except the minister. When his wife arrived, she told us there had been an accident on the beach and he was needed at the hospital and hopefully would come later. He's on staff at our local hospital and was called in this afternoon because of a tragedy here in town. We delayed dinner as long as we could, but he wasn't able to leave the hospital until much later. I packed him a meal so he would have something to eat once he finally made it home.

George and I watched the news at 10:00 and learned tonight what happened. A family of 9 visiting from Louisiana were on the beach this afternoon when two little girls in their family got in trouble in the surf. The father and brother of the two little girls went in to help the girls and ended up in trouble themselves. Somehow, the girls were saved, probably by other family members, but the father (43) and son (23) drowned. One of the girls might not survive either. What a terrible tragedy. Please pray for this family.

I'm way behind on my blog reading so please understand if I haven't read or commented on your blog lately. It's been wild and crazy for me this past week. I'll "catch up" in a day or two. I promise.

I'm working at Stein Mart tomorrow and I'm kinda dreading it. Not sure why.... I'm behind on lots of things, so I guess I just want to stay home and get things accomplished. Or maybe just take a nap :-)

Happy Birthday to Kari ! Her "real" birthday is tomorrow! (9/12) Kari, I hope you have many, many more.
