Go Army!

Today 3 vietnam era helicopters stopped at our airport to refuel on their way back to California from DC. They had been in DC to escort the thousands of motorcycles that ride to the capital every Memorial day. There were 2 hugheys and I forget what the small one is called.
When we 1st arrived the officials at the airport had no clue they were coming and even turned people away saying they had wrong information...luckily just as we walked out the doors we heard them landing.
Several of the pilots/crew are vietnam vets and we were able to talk with them and thank them for their service to our Country!

For the bee enthusiasts...the small holes in the tree ended up turning into a big hole futher into it. When the tree men came back to cut up the trunks into smaller pieces this is what we found...

The combs were dry and brittle and ants were all over already. No honey to be found but it sure smelled of honey.

We finally got our trees removed...well, they are down anyway!

I used my maiden name for this blog and my married name for the arce blog. I figured there would be many more with the name Thompson. Try it with your name and see how many of "you" there are out there?!

There are 1,861 people with my name in the U.S.A. How many have your name?

Prayer needed!

Ok, I've debated over and over if I should post this...I've come to the decision to go ahead!
Tracy is engaged to Art and they plan on getting married in June sometime. The problem is Art is not a christian...they have been going to church together...but, as far as I know he has not made a decision to follow Christ. They both have failed marriages and ex-spouses that are and will continue to make life difficult for them in relation to their children.
I'm not writing this to gossip about Tracy or Art. I'm just very concerned about this relationship (which I have expressed to Tracy), upcoming marriage and most importantly their spiritual lives.
I ask that we all pray very earnestly for them. Pray that God would get ahold of both of their hearts, that they would make biblical, wise choices for them and their children.
Remember that the prayer of a righteous man avails much!

Ahhh! The tornado sirens are going off!!!
