  Well, I did say that I have some news to share … ‘some good’ … and unfortunately, ‘some not so good’!
  
  First the ‘not so good’ … Please keep Ian in your prayers!
  
  He called me late (our time) last night, which I thought was a bit unusual since we just talked by phone the night before.  We usually talk every few days by phone, so I kind of felt something might be wrong … you know those mother’s intuitions!!  Well, he had a bit of a ‘freak’ accident … he was walking along between a car and some trees on the edge of a sidewalk.  He lost his balance, and being the big guy that he is, slipped off the edge, and fell very hard on his shoulder, his ‘bad’ shoulder … knocking his arm out of the socket!  He said it was very painful, so he had Tim ‘pull’ on his arm and he felt it go back into place, but it is still very painful!  This has happened to him before, and he’s managed to ‘get it back in place’ by having the chiropractor, or a friend pulling on it, depending where he was at the time … but this time he said it just felt different when he fell!  He can’t lift his arm above his head without major pain.  Now, I”m not so sure that what Tim did was a such good idea!  I’m afraid he may have torn some ligaments in his shoulder! 
  
  Thankfully, the owner of the ranch, where they are currently staying, is a doctor, who also goes to the church that Ian and Tim are going to … Ian was on his way back there when he called me to tell me what happened.  He told me he would have ’Doc’ take a look at it as soon as he got there … and get an ice pack on it right away.
   
  A bit of relief for mom here! 
  
  We would immediately take him to the chiropractor when it would happen here at home but, I’m just so thankful he is there for Ian now … his name is ‘Doc’ Morrison … and a great guy, according to the boys.  A little fact about ‘Doc’ … Ian told me that he started a business where a group of Christian physicians travel to the different movie sets to treat anyone who needs their services.  They share the Word as well as their medical services.  Never know how many hearts are touched from that!  Hearts that need hope, lives that need changing! 
  
  I also ask that you please pray that Ian can sleep … when this has happened to him before, the pain has kept him awake, and with the busy schedule he has now, he absolutely needs that rest!  Also pray, that it doesn’t cost him an arm … and a ‘shoulder’ for the ‘Doc’ to treat him!!!  I’ll keep you posted on how he’s doing.  And thank you so much for all your thoughts and prayers for him!
  
  Okay…now do you think we could use some good news here?!!  Some grand great good news?!  I’m ready!
  
  Ian and Tim were supposed to go to the San Antonio Christian Film Festival in October together.  Well, with the change in his schedule, Ian didn’t get registered in time, so he is unable to go this year.  Tim’s family will be driving to meet him in San Antonio to attend the film festival with him, then they are bringing him home for a week.  What to do with Ian for those two weeks???  Hmmm, I wonder! )  It’s hard for him to work without Tim since they are a ‘team’ … so we will very likely be getting our son for those 2 weeks!!  They are ready for a vacation with all the hard work they’ve been doing!  
  
  No, do you mind if I pause for a moment here and do a Happy Dance, a hop, and a skip, or two…
  I brought the gang here to join in … and you’re welcome to rejoice with me too!!
  

  

  
  
                     
  
  

  

  
  It’s been almost 3 months since I’ve seen him …. I just had to do that …. I sure hope you don’t mind!! )
  I like Spiderman and the Chicken Man myself!  Can we tell that I’m tired here??!! Lol!!
  
  Moving on … we have to get busy making plans to fill the time he’s here with lots of memories!!  He would be here for our 25th Wedding Anniversary, and for his Dad’s birthday!  We are hoping that it all works out … and that he does make it home … in the event that it doesn’t … well, I sure needed that ^ exercise anyway!!  We are going to stay hopeful about it all!!  Pray that everything works out and we make a little extra financial blessing from our craft shows for a round trip airline ticket for him!

  

  Okay, now onto the business at hand … I’m getting ready for the Annual Scottish Highlander Festival, at the Apple Works Orchard tomorrow, and Sunday.  I have to finish counting soap bars and candle tins, get clothes ironed, get the van and car packed and ready to go by 6:00a.m. in the morning … and I’m already tired!  I haven’t been feeling too well,
  this week, so I’m hoping my energy level will be a little better tomorrow after a good night’s sleep! 
  
  I’m also excited about tomorrow … I’m meeting a Xanga friend and her son at the festival!  A sweet friend, Deanna at believe_dream_imagine!  I’m sure we’ll both be posting pictures sometime next week!  There are a few of us ‘Hoosier Xangans’ here, (not as many as y’all have there in Texas), and it will be good to meet her in person!  I’d love to meet you all someday, as well, so if you’re ever in Indiana…..!
   
  Well, I’ve got to run and get things finished up so I can get a good night’s sleep!  I’ll try to get a few more visits in later tonight, and answer those messages, but I’ll definitely be back around tomorrow and Sunday night to answer you, when I’m home and kickin’ my feet up!  Say a prayer for me … I’m beginning to feel a little worse than earlier!  Lewis was sick this week, and I’ve been praying that I didn’t get it knowing I had the show coming up!  I really do appreciate your prayers!  You all have a beautiful night, and enjoy your weekend, those fall colors, the harvest festivals, and most of all be blessed in Him!!
  
   Hugs,

  God walks with us.  He scoops us up in His arms or simply sits
  with us in silent strength until we cannot avoid the awesome recognition
  that yes, even now, He is there.
