Multitude of Blessings

Some days I forget to say a huge thank you for all of the blessings we have. So this is just to say an all-inclusive big thanks to everyone and for everything! Throughout this process of detecting problems and deciding what to do, we have been abundantly blessed by support from friends far and wide, as well as nearby, and by members of our family. We are truly grateful for all of you and for your prayers and well wishes. Everyone has been so supportive, which is a big help! Thank you for the emails, cards, and phone calls! All of it helps so much!

We are so blessed to have supportive friends and family across the country, but we are are also doubly blessed to have tremendous support and love right here in Kerrville, particularly here within the "park," as we refer to this resort. Our friends here are people we regularly work with, those who come in to the Saloon on weekends, those who sometimes work here, as well as our friends from church. We cannot say enough about our support group here at GRRVR (Guadalupe River RV Resort). They are willing to help in any way, which also includes just letting us live normal lives, but are also willing to help us if we need time off or assistance. We could not ask for more support or better friends. Plus, we also have a heck of a lot of fun together, and we could not ask for better cooking for the frequent pot lucks and barbecues! We are most thankful to have found this great place to work and live, right here in the Hill Country, which we have so grown to love and enjoy.

And so, I just want to say a huge thank you to all of you who have helped! We appreciate and love you!

The Hill Country in Bloom

Close your eyes and imagine a lush carpeting in brilliant shades of green with an interwoven tapestry of every vivid color imaginable in purples, lavenders, fuchsias, pinks, scarlets, crimsons, corals, indigos, periwinkles, yellow, golds, cream, and whites, with beautiful leafing and blooming trees, all set against the bluest of skies! That kaleidoscope of color would be just close to what we saw today around the Texas Hill Country.

It was some of the most awe-inspiring scenery we have ever seen! Around every bend and over every hill, each new vista was breathtaking, a magnificent natural wonder and feast for the eyes and soul. Anyone who ever doubted God's ability to create such loveliness would have all doubts removed when viewing all of this incredible panorama! Words cannot adequately describe it, and our feeble attempts to capture on camera don't begin to do those colors justice. We can only say that we wish each one of you could have been with us on today's glorious field trip! Surely, this has to be one of the country's most beautiful landscapes!

Then, on top of all of that, the strawberries we bought from a roadside stand in Poteet, just beginning the Strawberry Festival this weekend, were absolutely the largest and among the most delicious we have ever tasted! Yummy! We are taking a huge bowl of them over to the Saloon for a Chicken Spaghetti dinner feast tonight so that everyone who was working today can share them, too. We love spring in the Hill Country!
