Post Op Day 3 Update

 Hey Friends, 

It is Odie, hopping on here for a quick update. Yesterday was my third day after surgery. I have heard it can be a hard day.  People were not lying; I had a rough day. 

I am glad day 3 is history. Hopefully, it can get better from here. Today is a new day! Hopefully, I will make more progress in recovery. 

Thank you for the continued prayers! We appreciate all the calls or texts checking up on us. I apologize if we have not been able to get back to all of you.

My aunt Theresa supplied us with food yesterday. It was all so good. I am slowly getting my appetite back.  

In the evening, my grandparents brought a pumpkin pie! Mamaw's pumpkin pies are the best! That will help me feel better, I am sure. 

I also had sweet friends send  us surprises yesterday. Thank you all very much! 

My Oklahoma Family, the Cummins Family spoiled us. 

Bro. Bruce and Sis. Priscilla Mayhan sent a DoorDash gift card. We will certainly use that!

Y'all gave me something to smile about yesterday! May God bless you for your kindness!

As I write this post, I am ready to say good night to day three. I am looking forward to day four being better!

Thanks for reading!

Weekend Wrap Up 11/17/25

Hey Friends,

Thanks for stopping by for this Weekend Wrap Up. 

Today, I have several pics. We had a revival at DRPC. You will see several food pics too. 

Friday, we spent time with our Morgan Family in Hillsboro. 

Saturday was some more family time. 

We were able to attend a Jason Crabb and Isaacs concert Saturday night. Here is some pictures. I plan to do a full post later.

Sunday, was devoted to church at DRPC. It is always a blessing to hear our Pastor preach, and worship with our church family! It was also great to have the Bostwick family visiting us from Virginia.

That wraps up our weekend! Thank you for reading today. 

Tomorrow is surgery day for me. Thank you for your prayers! I will do my best to keep the blog going this week. I am going to try to schedule a few post ahead of time.

Weekend Wrap Up 11/12/25

 Hey Friends,

Thank you for stopping by to visit with us today! Last week, I mentioned to you that we made a quick trip. We were in Florida for a few days. The trip also included a day in Mississippi.

We were in Cantonment, Florida, spending time with Bro. Philip Deane and family. Bro. Colton Deane is going to help us with a couple of Christmas concerts next month. 

Last week, we were able to work in a few practice sessions. We will not be able to meet in person to practice again until the week of the concerts. 

I already included a couple of pictures from our practice sessions, but here are a few more. 

A Weekend Wrap Up must have a few food pictures as well. 

The day we spent in Mississippi included a service at Trinity in Pascagula. They had a fellowship meeting last week, and we were able to be there for the final night. 

We were able to hear, Bro. Tyler Combs preach in the youth service. Bro. John Brock preached the evening service. They both did wonderful! It was great to see so many friends!

I snapped some photos. We had to slip out before the church was over. I was not able to get all the pictures that I wanted. 

We had a crazy time traveling home. I did not get any pictures of our travel day. We were just thankful to get home! 

Mom and I had to end up taking separate flights from Pensacola to Atlanta. Then we were able to get on the same flight from Atlanta to Dayton flight. I was the last  to board  the flight. I was going through Atlanta airport as fast as my little wheels would carry me. Thank God I made it. 

That wrapped up our weekend. We made it home Sunday in time to take a long winters nap. Then woke up to snow.

I want to close today by wishing a very special person Happy Birthday! Lisa Isaacs is celebrating a birthday! 

We love you, Lisa, so very much! I hope you feel extra loved and appreciated today! 

Thank you for all that you do! Everyone needs a Lisa in their corner! 

See y'all tomorrow!

Davy Day November 10th 2025

 Hey Friends,

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your extra prayers yesterday! We sincerely appreciate every call, text, comment and card that let us know you were praying for us! We all felt your prayers, hugs and thoughts!

As I wrote yesterday, HERE, it has been one year since Dad has been in Heaven. It was a day full of emotions. We laughed, cried, laughed a lot more and shed a few more tears. Praise the Lord, I can say it was a great day!

Mom and I decided, leading up to this day, that we were going to have a good day. I knew I wanted to spend yesterday close to family.

The first snowfall of the season arrived Sunday night and persisted most of Monday. We all had to laugh. Dad despised snow! He was probably having a good laugh at us yesterday!

In Davy fashion, we went to Acapulco for lunch. We were there when the doors opened at 11 AM, just like Dad  would have been. We drank some salsa for him. It was great to spend time with several of our family members that could join us! I think it was good for all of us!

Mom and I decided to wear Dad's shirts, hats and "ear muffins". It was our little way of having him with us. Mom even ended up getting salsa on her Davy shirt. I know it was not the first time the shirt had Alcapulco’s salsa on it. 🤣

I failed to get pictures for memories sake. Mom's parents were not able to join us for lunch but they came to spend some time with us in the afternoon. We enjoyed Gran and Papaw’s visit!

Later in the evening we went to visit with Mamaw, Papaw and Uncle Steve. It was great to have family with us yesterday. The others were close by via call or text! Our family has helped carry us through this year!  We can never thank them enough for their love. 

Then we were hungry for supper. We all loaded up in the van, and our day concluded with a trip to a Frisch's Big Boy in West Chester, Ohio. It was wonderful to taste this Ohio comfort food again!

Another first is behind us. Lord, I thank you for helping us get through the day! Please be with us as we begin year number two.

Thank you again for being our friends and reading about our adventure of life! I appreciate you for being here for the good, bad and  ugly! See you next time.
