When Greg is home, his mom and dad are overjoyed. We are grateful to God for providing a job teaching music in the Thomson-McDuffie Middle School in McDuffie County, Georgia. Greg takes care of many chores that Melvine and I used to do. He got Melvine's new prescription for her pain at Farmers' Prescription Shop in Winder, picked up our cleaning and laundry at Elder's Cleaners, purchased breakfast biscuits at Dairy Queen, and shopped for our groceries.
Melvine listened to about 8 or 9 voice messages on our house phone. We returned several calls, and contacted relatives and friends in other states. Greg read her several text messages from friends and family on his cell phone.
Melvine had her morning devotions. She is diligent in her private time with God.
I went online to get information about ovarian cancer from the Mayo Clinic with photos and printed the data for Melvine to read. I tried to read to her the Surgical Pathology Report and the CAT Scan and biopsy. I understand some of it. I will have to spend some time looking up medical terms with which I am not familiar.
We prayed together for God's Will to be done in her life and our life together.
At 3:30 p. m. we watched Georgia play Tennessee. Tennessee showed promise of being a better team than they have demonstrated. They played with determination and with courage. I thought Georgia was not up to par. I don't know why our team is like that. I would hope they would come out like Gangbusters and dominate the playing field. I must admit, the game was quite boring for me.
Jeanette Phillips from our church came over at half-time to bring our supper from Rafferty's Restaurant in Athens, GA, my favorite of all of them, and we do have some fine restaurants. We love the scrumptious potato soup with toppings of cheese, herbs and croissants. None better.
Jeanette brought her homemade electric freezer, peaches, milk, etc. to make homemade peach ice cream. She used the finest of Georgia Peaches, and we ate to heart's content. I remember eating my first ice cream cone when I was about 4 or 5 years old. My uncle Tyson took me to the drug store where they dished out vanilla ice cream on cones. I had never tasted any thing so good. I still love vanilla ice cream. I have a vivid memory.
We always enjoy having Jeanette in our home. She is a marvelous person and she is multi-talented. One day this past week she helped with CRU (formerly called Campus Crusade for Christ) at the University of Georgia in the Tate Student Center. She is a retied math teacher. When I have a math problem, I turn to Jeanette. She and Ken have two outstanding children, Loren and Tyler. Loren is married and has twins, a boy and a girl. They are in middle school and are brilliant. Loren works for BB&T in banking, and supervises loans. Her husband is in the heating and air conditioning business with his father. Tyler is finding his way in life. He is learning about the heating and air conditioning business and works with Slade, Loren's husband. He is a good father and loves his wife and children. Tyler Phillips has already designed and built his own home. He is very athletic and plays soccer. He has qualified to be a referee of soccer. He has energy galore. I was present when he was born during the time I was pastor of Tarkenton Memorial Church. I, along with Wayne Butler, did Loren's wedding.
Melvine and I plan to attend morning worship in our church today. Depending on how Melvine feels, we may stay for the tailgating and eat in our fellowship hall (known as Stephanie's Place) with our church family and the guests we anticipate coming to our church today for Game Day. Our pastor likes to plan and promote special events. We do all we can to support him in this effort to reach people in our community.
