Hi Everyone!!
Here's hoping that your day/week/month/year is going good so far!
Mark and I are currently in Washington state where we've been able to visit with Mark's daughter Tara and husband Daniel, son Kyle, mom Anna, and brother Scott. I hear Mark groaning just a bit now because he's editing a video on YouTube…ha! We over 50 don't like to read instructions! BUT we have a 19 month Wedding Anniversary to celebrate today…glad he didn't get hung up on instructions when that proposal came about!!
I was able to speak with my family today…Mama was in good spirits - daddy was asleep - he had another mini stroke a week ago, but continues to be a trooper. Please say a prayer for them to weather thru this facet of their lives. EP is weathering out the drought in OK…we are praying for rain for the cattle/horses; Samuel is on hand to help EP and will compete at Cheyenne Frontier Days, Cheyenne, WY soon; Lucchese is still in LA and doing well. She and I made a road trip from LA to Billings, MT and had lots of windshield time to visit, laugh, and commiserate…nothing like 20 hours in a car to cause bonding…I am so thankful that all our family are well.
Mark and I fly back to Denver on July 21 to do concerts in Colorado Springs, Cheyenne, and Greeley. See itinerary on our NEW WEBSITE: www.susiemcentire.com Then we fly to NJ, and back to Denver for dates in NE, OR, SD and wind up the summer in TX. We are looking forward to all these dates and time to meet new friends and catch up with old friends.
Those of you who usually come to Antelope, OR the first weekend….please remember we scheduled it for August 14 @ 4pm this year only!!
Another highlight of our year is Pamper Me! November 4 & 5 in Atoka, OK….go to website and register for lots of fun!!! We have the speakers, singers, and cosmetologists all set up and rearing to go!! www.susiemcentire.com
We have experienced such hot/dry weather in Oklahoma-many states are dry, but at least we do have pond water for our animals. Please say a prayer for those who have had drought, fires and devastation. Also, continue to pray for those who have had just the opposite…lots of floods/storms/tornadoes.
We all as humans need encouragement….sometimes this can come in a way as simple as a smile. We don't know what folks are going thru…go ahead…give that smile away.
God bless you!
Susie & Mark
