Amigos...however they are missing Logan & Lynnzee

As much as I love being at the DC, it is actually nice to come home.  The spiritual boost has everything to do with it.  We arrived home about 5:35 pm yesterday.  I didn't do much unpacking, EO did most of it. I was way to tired to even think of putting stuff away.  But EO took care of it. I was laying down and each time I got up and put a few more things away.  But EO is the real hero, as he sorted and took care of the dirty laundry and the groceries and even put the luggage away.  I think is all the years we have been married I always did the bulk of it.  So it was wildly appreciated.   

the convention...could it have been more fabulous?  I know every year, we come home thinking this was the best DC ever.  this one, was so focused on fortifying our faith in the truth, so that we can endure what is to come.  The talks on apostates and rejecting what is false, were so direct in not being mislead.  As well as the 1001 ways the Truth really protects us.  I love the statement that said, the Truth is not restrictive but it is protective.  I wish i could remember what the illustration was they used, I don't even remember what day it was said.  Oh well.  I am remember a little better this year than last year, but not by much.  I looked at my notes and I don't remember that I wrote it but it is familiar to me.  Where last year, nothing was familiar.  

I loved all the info on children and helping them.  Well, not just as parents, but how Jehovah has provided so much for them.  It just touched my heart so much to see the love that is shown by all the work the faithful slave puts into showing how special little ones are.

There were a few times that there wasn't a dry eye in the building.  Like the first drama, on Friday.  My thoughts went directly to Leah's family.  It made it hard to even concentrate on the drama.  Even now, I just can't dwell on that drama, as it still makes me cry.  I guess so many of us have lost loved ones, that the aim was to remind us, not just to be compassionate to those who have lost loved one, oh, and think before you speak, but Jehovah will one day be bringing all those precious ones back.  And to have the family's daughter along with Job's daughter, they were basically growing up together.  Now that is an awesome thought.

My mom turned 70 earlier this month, my dad would be turning 70 this coming month.  Instead he is stuck at 37, and my mom has lived almost twice as long as he did.  I have even lived longer. 



Moving right along.  So across from our hotel is the fairgrounds.  Which it was free to enter, however the food and rides you did have to pay for.  Well, Saturday night, EO and the kids all went over there.  EO had gone over there Friday night and he spend much of the time in the barns with all the baby animals.  Plus they had a number of horse events there each day.  One day was horse teams with wagons, another day was miniature horses pulling a single rider and cart.  I can't remember what else they did over there.  Plus there was demolition derby and a tractor pull and some other stuff on the other side of the fairgrounds.  We could watch everything from the window in our hotel.
