Great Friends....Great Weekend!!

We had a great weekend with our dear friends Lowell and Deanne Bassett (Deanne babysat Tommy when he was a little boy). Lowell and Deanne minister through music, traveling around the country in their RV. They live in California, so they don't make it this far east every year, so we are thankful when we get the chance to spend some time with them. We have such fun listening to their stories about their traveling around to different churches around this country and the people they have met and the places they have seen. We especially love to hear of how God provides for their every need!! We are so blessed to have them in our lives. Lowell and Deanne are also the couple that introduced us to playing dominoes...They not
only taught us how to play, they gave us our first set! We absolutely love playing!! I even beat Lowell this time (only by one point) We had such a wonderful visit. The church they were ministering to in Winston-Salem was having their fall festival, so we were able to participate in that on Saturday evening...What a fun time that was...As you can see Tommy enjoyed throwing pie pans full of whip cream at Chase!! Chase was covered in whip cream, but had a great time!!

Tommy really "creamed" Chase here!!


She even got her face painted with a pumpkin on one side and a heart on the other!!

We also had an unexpected surprise in that Lowell and Deanne were so gracious to pay for us to stay at a hotel, so that we could stay and be in the service with them on Sunday. That was a great treat for us!! Tommy was so excited he tore the handle off the door...Just kidding, but the handle did come off though!!







We had a wonderful service Sunday morning, Lowell and Deanne just have a wonderful spirit about them and you can just tell how much they love the Lord and how they want to honor and worship Him!! It was a wonderful service!!


You will have to ask Tommy how his ride home was?? I drove and Chase sat in the front with me (she slept the whole way home) and Tommy rode in the back with his feet propped up the whole way home...while I rubbed them for the two and half hour ride...that's right!! Over two hours I rubbed his feet...how good a wife am I??

I can't believe I forgot to mention that Deanne made Tommy a special sandwich while we were visiting...one that she made him when he was little, a peanut butter, onion, and pickle sandwich!! Yes...you read that right...Tommy loves it still to this day!!
