Cuz'n Camp (part 3)

I think I have my new blog site just about how I want it...anyway, I have spent enough time critiquing it...and need to move on:) Hope you like it:) I had fun working on it!

Todd, Jenn & fam left this morn to Iowa...the movers will be there packing and moving their belongs this week...then they will store them for a couple of weeks until Todd & Jenn close on their new house (hopefully, Sept. 10th). They are scheduled to close on their Iowa house Sept. 5th. They will be back here on Thursday (28th). They do NOT have to be at their closing in Iowa.

How good God has been to them...how faithful to answer their prayers...we thank you too for praying for them during this relocation time.

Over the next few days I will be catching up on all those photoshows and posting them on my blog. Hope you enjoy them.

I have a few more of Cuz'n camp to post then will move on to others.

A New Name & Look...

As you see I am working on this new layout for my blog. A dear friend, Anna Marie, suggested the name, "Neenee's Nest" which, as you see, I luv!

I still have some critiquing to do on it, but as of now have run out of time.
So I will work on it later...but you get the idea.

THANK YOU, Anna Marie, for a great name for my blog:)

Happily Married...

for 38 WONDERFUL years:):):)



August 22, 1970

God said, "It's not good for the Man to be alone;
I'll make him a helper, a companion."

God put the Man into a deep sleep.
As he slept He removed one of his ribs
and replaced it with flesh.

God then used the rib that He had taken from the Man
to make Woman and presented her to the Man.

The Man said,
"Finally! Bone of my bone,
flesh of my flesh!
Name her Woman
for she was made from Man."

Therefore a man leaves his father and mother
and embraces his wife.
They become one flesh.
Genesis 2:18; 21-24

Here we are boating on Skiatook Lake.
One of our favorite past times:)
That's the rising moon behind us.

Here we are 38 years later!


Happy Anniversay, my Mr. Wonderful:)
I love you forever and a day:)

Life Update...

I am sitting at my daughter's computer in Broken Arrow so thought I would take these few minutes to blog and catch up on our lives.

I am gchildren sitting today. Amy and Kevin took Camden to Dallas, TX this morning for an appointment with the neurosurgeon. Hopefully they will determine why his head continues to grow faster than it should.

All the other Bledsoe gchildren are at school, except Grant. I brought Abbie with me this morn to play with cousin, Grant. They have SO much fun playing together...thus I have some free time to blog.

Let's see: first, as I said it another blog, Cuz'n Camp 2008 went very well. I couldn't have asked for a better, full, purposeful week. I have a few more camp photoshows to make and post.

Son, Todd and fam moved in with us the weekend after Cuz'n Camp. We have all adjusted to this well. They sold their house in Iowa and have bought a house in Broken Arrow, OK. It is near Amy & fam. How fun for them:) They are scheduled to close on both houses the middle/end of September. God is so good:)

Right after Cuz'n Camp we went on a week camping trip with Kelley and fam sponsored by their church. It was a fun, tiring time. The last part of the week was extremely hot. We stayed in the lake, in the boat, or in the camper to keep cool. I have a photoshow to make & post of this time too.

Our gdaughter, Abbie, turned 3 on Aug. 14. She had her "Princess" birthday party at our house the following Sat. I had a delightful time decorating, making her princess chair, and making her castle cake. And of course I have pics and a photoshow to make and post of this special event too

Let's see...what else have I been doing! I have been working on Camden's quilt for his 1st birthday on Sept. 5th. The timing to do this crept up on me too quickly...thus I have kept the candle burning late at night to get it finished. I am thankful to say, it will be finished by the end of the week. I just have the binding to finish around it. Then I need to make his personalized towel with hood:) That should go quickly...if nothing else comes up that is:) I will post a pic of Cam's quilt in a few days or so.

I am also crocheting a baby blanket for gbaby #14 due November 11th.

Our gson, Grant B. is wearing glasses now. He is 4 1/2 years old. One of his eyes is not as strong as the other. I forget what this condition is called. His right eye has mostly been doing all the work, so he wears a patch over it for 6 hours a day inorder to force the weaker left eye to get stronger. He goes back to the eye doc in 6 weeks to see if the weaker eye has gotten stronger. The eye doctor said Grant will have to wear glasses all his life or wear one contact in the left (weaker) eye. We are so thankful there are procedures that can be done to correct his vision. I will post a pic of him in his glasses soon. He does quite well wearing his glasses and is such the trooper! Never complains:)

Our gdaughter, Kassidy S., 6th birthday is coming up Aug. 29th. She is having a poodle party! Should be so fun! She will be wearing a poodle skirt that neenee made, of course:)

I think that has just about caught you up on the happenings of our life the past couple of months.
We are still trying to catch our breath!!!

I have a couple of other projects to work on: make an appliqued baby quilt for a friend hopefully finished by Oct., start gdaughter, Savannah's, quilt before her birthday in January 2009. I hope to start this one early in order to get in finished before the holiday season. Then there is our RV camping club that camps out once a month. We just love being with this fellowship of believers.
We also are planning a trip sometime in September, Lord willing, to Jackson and Shreveport to see our precious mothers.

Our lives are full as you can see. Warren's job at Rosemont is going very well. We are blessed.

Interesting Facts...

THE BUZZARD: If you put a buzzard in a pen that is 6 feet by 8 feet and is entirely open at the top, the bird, in spite of its ability to fly, will be an absolute prisoner. The reason is that a buzzard always begins a flight from the ground with a run of 10 to 12 feet. Without space to run, as is its habit, it will not even attempt to fly, but will remain a prisoner for life in a small jail with no top.

THE BAT: The ordinary bat that flies around at night, a remarkable nimble creature in the air, cannot take off from a level place. If it is placed on the floor or flat ground, all it can do is shuffle about helplessly and, no doubt, painfully, until it reaches some slight elevation from which it can throw itself into the air. Then, at once, it takes off like a flash.

THE BUMBLEBEE:A bumblebee, if dropped into an open tumbler, will be there until it dies, unless it is taken out. It never sees the means of escape at the top, but persists in trying to find some way out through the sides near the bottom. It will seek a way where none exists, until it completely destroys itself.

PEOPLE: In many ways, we are like the buzzard, the bat, and the bumblebee. We struggle about with all our problems and frustrations, never realizing that all we have to do is look up!

Sorrow looks back, Worry looks around, but Faith looks up!

Live simply, love generously, care deeply, speak kindly and trust in our Creator who loves us.

I'm Back...

Just time for a quick update...it has been a VERY busy 2 weeks with Cuz'n Camp 2008 and then camping for a week in Missouri with the Schubert's and Todd and Jenny and fam living with us until they find and purchase a house.

I have a few photoshows to make and share in time. Savannah is sleeping in the room where I have my computer so between naps and bedtime I will get these made to share with you.

Camden has to go back to the nerosurgeon in Dallas on the 20th for an evaluation on some medical issues he is having since his crainofacial surgery. So we would appreciate your prayers for all.

Keep in touch.
Don't take yourself too seriously, take God seriously!

"What does the Lord require of you, but to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God." Micah 6:8



Proverb Punch: When things get tough, always remember...faith doesn't get you around trouble, it gets you through it!
