"Life" is a festival, a celebration and life is good!! I know that it has been many weeks since I last wrote in my blog and some of you have called or written to "check up" on me. Thanks! It's nice to know that you are still reading it; sometimes I worry that I may be boring you with all my news.
The truth of the matter why I haven't written lately is, I have been busy----busy having fun and enjoying family and friends and my "new found energy" that is slowly returning.
We celebrated Chad's birthday a few weeks ago. Can you believe that he is already "15" with a learner's permit to drive a car (YIKES)!! His Granny Sweatt and Aunt Amy were able to drive over for the day from Bremen, GA and that was great. We had not seen them for quite a while and had a lot of catching up to do.
This Sunday will be Rebekah's "13th" birthday (YIKES AGAIN) another teenager in the family. Marvin and I plan to surprise her and drive to S.C. to go to church with her and then take her out for a birthday lunch. (We will officially celebrate with a big party at our house on Thanksgiving Day). The whole Mitchell Clan will be together that day. Lara, Britney, Carter and Ashlyn are driving down from Minnesota for the week and we are all very excited about that.
Besides birthday celebrations I've had fun at the Fall Festival at our church, and at our neighborhood Halloween Parade. The little children are always sooooo cute. They have a big costume parade down the street then they load them all on a flat-bed and drive them from house to house to "trick or treat". I always dress up in costume too!! This year I wore my poodle skirt and had a dance party in my driveway with all of them. Well.....not a DICK CLARK
DANCE PARTY, I can't dance like that, but, we all did the Hokey Pokey together and I think that counts as a dance, don't you??!
And last but not least, I got lost in a Corn Maze! Marvin and I met Pam, Scott, their little 8 year old niece Autumn, Jill, Mark and little Nathan in Watkinsville a few Saturdays ago. It was a blast. There were so many cute things to do: A baby pig race, live animals to pet, a cow train for the little ones to ride in, a pumpkin patch where you pick your own pumpkin, a hay ride and a BIG corn maze. (I made them promise before I went in not to leave me alone in that maze. I always get lost in those things.) As you traveled through the corn you would find clue boards along the pathway and if you knew the right answers to the clues they would lead you in the right direction to go. After a while of "wandering in the corn" we finally realized the way out was to find the outside edge of the corn and follow that path. We didn't break any records but we did finally, successfully, make it out of the maze, laughing all the way! What a day of fun we all had. "Another special memory to cherish together".
When I got home that night I was thinking again about that corn maze---you know life is a lot like that sometimes isn't it? You never really know what might be around the corner as you travel down your path of life but our "clue board"--GOD'S WORD---will always lead us safely home!! He will show us which path to take, it's up to us to follow.
I hope this month your "path" will be filled with all the things that make you happy. We have so much to be thankful for. To God be the Glory, great things he has done. I thank my God always for all of you. I will write again soon, I promise! Till then......
I love you guys,
Judy
