Tonight's blog is simply an update on the The Bishop Family. Tonight was not a Cornish Hen night. With nothing in the crock pot, I resorted to driving through the Steak-n-Shake. I've been looking forward to it since we received the coupons in the mail. Ephraim had his first milkshake and of course he liked it. Chocolate milkshake, what is not to like?
I am pleased to report that Ephraim has been wearing his big boy underwear with zero accidents in the last two days. Praise the Lord. Definitely answered prayer. He continues to be enthralled with the skeleton key and its former owner - my grandmother: Catherine Coers. I am always looking for opportunities to share my family history with the boys. I want them to know about their grandparents and great grandparents. It makes me sad to think they never knew my father and had only a short time with my mother. But, I am thankful for stories to share and for friends that are like family and for Troy's parents.
Carson has been doing much better on his spelling words. We found a great website that uses games to help him learn his words: www.spellingcity.com. We have tried all kinds of things including my version of "spelling karaoke", writing words in shaving cream, and "spelling pie" -(my Mam Mam's pie tins filled with spelling word magnets). God continues to provide the ideas and the patience.
Troy had to purchase new tires for his van today. Special "run flat" tires that cost a bundle. He has been in Greenwood most of the day getting them put on. He brought back Long's doughnuts. Yum. I am hoping that Troy will actually make some of my Uncle Sap's doughnuts again soon. They are so tasty. We used to make them every November for a fundraiser with the youth group, but haven't made them at FUMC for a couple of years now. Believe it or not, I miss that one day a year that I willingly got up at 2am when it was "time to make the doughnuts". Troy learned to make doughnuts from his Grandmother Linson. I think it is great that Troy can share his stories and the things he learned from his grandparents too. We both have a rich family history to pass along. Our greatest story though is the story of our family's faith. What a blessing to have a Christian heritage.

I'll eat Uncle Sap's donuts anytime you'll make them. I'll even buy them, willingly, from the Youth Group!! I miss them, too.
I'll gladly eat, and even buy, Uncle Sap's donuts whenever you want to make them. Tell Troy I miss that fundraiser!!
