Out and about

Last week I spent a few days visiting around the Nashville area. The heat was unbelievable!! But we made the best of it and found a few fun places to visit.

This quilt shop was in an old home. I loved some of the old antiques displayed around the shop.

They had lots of fabric and sewing machines on display.

We were on our way to find a place to eat, when we turned down a side street and came upon this ----

If you are familiar with Rebecca of A Gathering of Thoughts then you will recognize this as her sister's new shop. It wasn't open yet, but we could not resist peeking inside the window. It looks so beautiful. The next time we are in the area we will be sure to stop in.

Some of you may have heard about the events of July 4th when several people were electrocuted while swimming. Two children were swimming when some kind of power shorted off of a houseboat and the children were electrocuted. One child died at the scene, the other was revived and air lifted to Knoxville Children's Hospital.

Here is a link of the news broadcast when the accident happened.

We learned last evening that the second child, the 11 year old, did not make it and is now with Jesus. This little boy is the grandson of long time friends of ours.

Please pray for our friends, their son and daughter in law and the surviving children. One of their other children was in the water at the same time and she sustained some injuries but has been released from the hospital.

Thank you for lifting this family up in prayer during this incredibly difficult time.
