R is for Ruby

Well, well, well!  Another family member!  :-) 

Ruby is my Mom.  She is a courageous lady, who has faced adversities, hardships, and difficulties.  She’s a lady who has traveled, and made friends everywhere, and enjoys life. 

I’m glad Mom is finally living in Texas.  It’s nice to have her close.  To get to have her at family events, instead of having to call long distance and say, “Wish you were here!”  It’s nice to have her great-grandchildren be able to see her more often.  In spite of my incredibly busy life, it feels good having her close. 

Our church is a little far, and the people live over a very broad area, so it’s hard to visit back and forth.  Mom has found a sweet congregation just down her street where the pastor does expositional preaching, and the folks are friendly.  She’s already joined the choir and sung in a special Easter service, on the backup teacher list for her Sunday School class, and going to dinner with a bunch of new friends on Monday nights.  They have a Wednesday night Church Dinner.  Her friendliness helps her quickly become part of a group.  Anyone who meets my Mom always says, “She’s so cute!” 

Mom is always willing to be a help to those in need, and doing for others is her passion.  May God give her a pleasant life here, and many years to enjoy her family!   Love you, Mom!

Awwwwwwww, that's sweet. Thanks for the kind words and the well wishes. I am extremely glad to be here, and would probably have been here long before this, if Dub had not been so reluctant to live out of Tennessee. He would have had a difficult time adjusting, I know. Thank you for making it so easy for me to come here. Love you all. Mom
