Putting up our Cross...

I have a lot of things right now on my mind, but I wanted to share these wonderful pictures of when we put up our Cross at my Church. It was the 15th of April 2006 and I remember it as if it were yesterday. Our Church keeps growing and we at one point had rented a High School's auditorium to have worship in. Then we saved enough money to be able to purchase a piece of wonderful property of 30 plus acres. Then we built our new Church. Well in the back of the Church their are beautiful woods filled with ponds, creeks and trees galore. So we went and cut down a huge tree and with a tractor we pulled it, we tied it, then we shaved some of the bark off of it and packed it up this giant hill and put it up. I'll never forget that day, to me, well it was just breath taking and I was very moved and touched by everyone that had come and done what we all did that beautiful day! So, I hope that you enjoy these pictures. Here goes, you might want to grab yourself a cup of coffee or tea because they're lots of pictures for you to see...






















As you see at this point we were having some problems getting the Cross lifted to the height it needed to be.















But we heaved and we pulled and did a lot of praying and sure enough, we got it!









It was an amazing day and a awesome site to see and the very best feeling that our Cross was put up on the hillside!











There was a silence for a moment or two, then we cheered and we cried and we hugged another and just sighed, as our Cross was standing tall.



I hope that you enjoyed these pictures as much as I loved taking them and being there that awesome and wonderful day and now being able to share them with you today!
I did want to tell you that I'm having surgery tomorrow on my kidneys, left one to be exact again. If you didn't know, I have very bad kidneys and have been sick all of my life with them. So, for the last few days my mind has been wandering and today I think I've said aloud "Bobbi, let it go" at least now 100 times or better, which actually is helping! I've had so many surgeries in my lifetime that you would think I'd be a pro at this already, but the truth is, I'm afraid. So, with that being said...I probably won't be back on my computer for the next couple of days. I hope that yous have a wonderful week!
Giant hugs and love...

Steak and Motor Show...

My Church had our Steak and Motor Show again and I wanted to share these pictures with all of you. I had a total blast that day! We had our band, great food and it was a lovely day outside and just alot of fun! I'm a big fan of older cars and love the car shows! I'm also a Nascar Fan to! So it's always nice when my Church has it's own car show. I have lots of pictures for you today, so sit back and enjoy the show...






























Happy Monday everyone, enjoy your day! Hugs...

Antique Dolls...

I have 2 porcelain/bisque antique dolls that my grandmother gave to me when I was a small child to play with. I always loved these 2 dolls and took good care of them. Their clothes though are a lil dirty, but the dolls themselves are in excellent condition. About 15 to 20 years ago I had entered them in a Fair which I won a ribbon for. I was so excited to win that ribbon! I know that they're at least 50 years old or maybe even older then that.
The lil girl sorta reminds me of a Shirley Temple kind. She's so adorable and precious! I love her lil curl that she has in her hair!
Her rosy cheeks and beautiful smile always makes me smile to! She seems to be about 2 to 3 years of age and just so sweet!
Then, the baby...and how precious and sweet he is to! He has the rosiest cheeks and a very handsome lil one he is!
I've been looking and trying to find out information about these 2 dolls. If you recognize them, please let me know. Or, if you know of where I should begin to look and do research on these 2 gorgeous dolls I would appreciate any information at all. Thanks so much and I hope that you enjoyed my 2 porcelain/bisque antique dolls!

Jet Skiing...

My second oldest son, Michael has a Jet Sky and 2 weeks ago Mike and myself went Jet Skiing! We had a blast! This is his Jet Sky and this is where we drove it to, about 45 minutes or so on Lake Erie all the way to downtown Cleveland! In the picture you see part of downtown Cleveland! The round building is the Cleveland Browns Stadium. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is on the side. In fact, if you want to find out more about the Rock and Roll Hall of fame here's a Link for you.
So...my son, Mike and myself stopped and took some pictures with our trusty cell phones and then we turned to head back for the evening.
Oh, this is my son, Michael and myself 2 weeks ago Jet Skiing.


Then, before I knew it Mike had stopped the Jet Sky and told me to drive. hmm I thought to myself, how do I get out of this. You can believe that I thought of every excuse possible not to drive, but he really wanted for me to drive, so I did. Just between me and you though...I was sacred to death with me driving. lol The waves were hitting us and I wasn't sure what to do and really I didn't want to wreck his Jet Sky. But he told me that it would be alright and to follow the sun back. So...that's what I did! How wonderful and beautiful it was!
I have to say that I'm very glad that I did drive back, normally I can't do things like this because of my kidneys and lots of surgeries. So, this coming Tuesday when I'm back in the hospital having yet another surgery I can think of my son and myself and when we went Jet Skiing!
