Hi Friends! We've had a good week. Mom and Dad were over for dinner and the weather was so nice we ate on the screened in porch! It was beautiful out and so wonderful to have the parents back at our house! Mom and I were talking yesterday and we were looking forward to walks outside. Mom continues her therapy and is still making steady progress. Not as quickly as she would like, but steady...
My best friend was in town this week (she's a speech pathologist too) and she was so shocked by how great Mom's speech was. She kept saying "I give her an 85 - 90%!" She saw Mom about a month ago and reminded me that what she did then does not even compare to her speech now. Way to go, MOM!!
Some of you have asked about Dustin and Garrett, our twin sons, who are BOTH over in Iraq right now serving our country. Word from them indicates they are doing great. They are both in charge of the MITT (something to do with M____ I______ Transition Team). They are training 650+ Iraqi soldiers to take over. They are at different bases but have seen each other while Garrett was training on Dustin's base.
Dustin LOVES his job. He's been there since December and repeatedly says he has "no complaints." He's encouraged by the progress that they are making. He talks a mile a minute when he calls home and his enthusiasm is evident.
Garrett says he's fine, but he's tired because he's doing two jobs. (MITT plus his job last time he was there.) This is also his second tour in Iraq so he's probably not quite so enthusiastic! His tour last time was physically and emotionally costly. Anyway, he says that he is doing fine and he's safe. He's not on a base. He lives in an old meat packing facility. Has a roommate but that should change eventually.
We continually pray for their contentment and safe return to home and thank many of you for doing the same. Sometimes I feel so SELFISH because so many people are praying for our family! It is very humbling to say the least. Goes to show how needy we are on family/friends and most of all, Jesus!
Well, that's all I know for now! I'll write more later. Have much to do on this last OFFICIAL day of my Spring Break! Lots of love... Audi

Audi (and Art) ... Thanks for the Cathcartian update. Great to read about the boys. It's so touching to see young men like those serving the rest of us in that hostile land. Wow! It's so inspiring and so easy to pray for them and for the others over there. I know that you Cathcarts and Chamberlains are praying for these two fine young men; but tell them that prayers are offered up as well from over here in TN in The Berry Patch.
Love ... old bossy Billy Bob
