Weekend

We are leaving tomorrow for Ponca. It's supposed to be a family reunion, but my mother-in-laws sister (Lucy) and her family aren't going to be able to make it. They found out that Lucy has an anurisim (not sure on spelling) in her stomach and doesn't need to be out in the woods if something were to happen. She is supposed to have surgery on the 13th. We haven't seen this side of the family since Lucy's husband died about 1-2 years ago. We used to have family reunions every year & stopped the year before their mother died (2002 or 3). It's so nice getting everyone together....such a HUGE family (for only 2 daughters). We reserved a dining room for 50 people! My husband is one of 5 kids.

Anyway, I just wanted to let you know I'll be gone for a few days. Please pray for Lucy --- and for me, as I just found something disturbing my daughter and some boy were writing back and forth about via email (and she barely knows him...he lives in another city close to us). Oh yeah, a mothers worst nightmare - at THIRTEEN! That 3 letter "s" word we all cringed at hearing our parents speak of...and that we cringe having to speak to our children about. UGH! She stresses me out to no end.
