93 As a 1930s wife, I am Very Superior Take the test!

Well, I have a lot to do in just a few days. See, I am heading out of town this week, on Thursday. We are heading back up to Penn. to be with all of my family. I mean ALL OF MY FAMILY. My parents, my brother w/ his family, my sister (who lives here in the area with me) w/ her daughters, and my sister (who lives near Knoxville) is also coming. Even my aunt and uncle from here are coming.

Why, you might be asking? Because we are giving my Granny a surprise 90th Birthday Party !!!!!  Yep, I said 90th !!!! She does not look her age and she is in great shape and health. You would never think she is going to be 90.

I should be excited about this trip. I mean, my whole family has not been up to Granny’s all at one time in about 30 years, when we were still children. All of my other relatives lives up there with her. My father was the only child who ever left home and moved off to another place to live.

But, I am not that excited because my husband is not coming with us !!!! Neither is my oldest daughter. She has college classes and work and can not take off. That is about the only reason why I am able to reason with why my husband is not coming. I could press the issue and have him come along, but I can’t do that to my daughter. At least I will be with my family, I hate the thought of leaving her here alone for a whole week. I know that there will be the day, when she has a complete life of her own. But for now, she just turned 18, she is so use to being with us 24/7 because of homeschooling, and going to college and work all day, was a big enough change at one time for her.  Beside, we just left her home for a week by herself this past summer while we went to help build that church.

Also, while I am gone, my husband will be sanding and finishing my new hard-wood floor. He can not do this type of work when I am home because of my asthma.

So you say, why am I sad about leaving my husband at home, while I am gone 1000 miles from home for a week with out him?  Because I am still in love with my husband, more then the day we married. We are truely “one” with each other. He is my best friend, my provider, my protector, my love, for over 21 years ……….. We have never been apart over night but maybe a night or two at one time. That is what God means for marriage to be and we are truely blessed to have that marriage.

I know when I get on the road, and get with my family and start enjoying the time with my Granny, I will be okay. But I must say, I do not look forward to the nights, without him. The nights will be long. I pray that I am so tried each night, that I fall right to sleep.

But, through all of this, I know that my Lord will be me, whereever I go and what ever I do. He will never leave me, or forsake me. He is truely my Rock and my Comfortor. He is Proctector and Lover of my soul. He will see me though this week. And soon enough, I will be back home with my love of my life and our lives will be back to normal in no time.

I do plan on baking him up a few treats to keep him going. I will leave him and my daughter some home-made bread, cookies and meals to quickly fix while we are gone.

Well, like I said, I have a lot to do  before Thursday and I must go to get started. I will be on line, off and on till then. SO, have a good day and remember to thank God for something today!!!
