Answered Prayers

God was so good to keep the tree colors glorious for my daughter-in-law to see. I prayed like crazy and He so answered. Annie was thrilled with the fall colors which she's never seen in Texas! She took so many pictures. It was great.

When I picked Walt and Annie up at the airport on Thurs, it was a beautiful day: 70's, sunny, clear. But as the evening moved on, some clouds began to roll in and Friday looked like rain.

After a big home cooked breakfast, we managed to get out on the road to Coopers Rock early and God held back the rain til our little hike to Rock City. Thank you Lord! The rest of the day was spent shopping (Gabes) and eating (Olive Garden), then a drive around town so Walt could catch up on all the building and changes in Morgantown as well as to show Annie his home town.

Evening consisted of dinner and a movie at home. It was a great day!

Saturday, Mike was able to get the day off so the plan was to get to Damon's by 11a to get a good seat for the game on BIG screen. It was too late to get decent, cheap tickets so Walt suggested this as plan B. Worked great. We ate tons of food, saw some old friends (Jeremy Myers and wife, the Stollar family and Jim Holehouse). And the game was fantastic! A great day to be a Mountaineer....Annie even liked it! She's learning about "Almost Heaven, WV". Hope she comes to love her visits here as much as we love it!

My favorite quote by Walt was when we walked into the Mountaineer Store in the Colliseum and he said "Mom, being here just makes me FEEL GOOD". I loved it!

Sunday was church, lunch, quick trip to Arboretum to get a few more pics and then back to the airport. Time flew by as I knew it would. If you're a fan of the "Office", the day Pam and Jim got married, she made a tradition of taking mental snapshots. I loved that idea to imprint special moments in my memory. So even though I took lots of iPhone and camera pics, I took numerous "mental" snaps, just so I could be in the moment and remember.

I love seeing my son and his wife together. They are so very happy and the love just exudes from them. I've never seen my son so happy and content as he is now. He says they are building a good life in San Antonio with their marriage, church, friends, jobs, etc. Sounds like they'll be there awhile.

Thank you God for the blessing of this weekend and answering my prayers for the trees. You're in all the details and I am so glad.
