Prayers for Granddad...

Apparently these days, when it rains, it pours - literally and figuratively. 

My wonderfully loving and delightful Granddad - Benton - could use a little prayer.  He's been having back problems for quite a few months now, and Mamaw finally decided that something had to be done.  After a barrage of tests, a hospital stay, and a host of poking and prodding,  they think its some form of bone cancer.

They don't know the degree of it yet, but we're headed to Texas just to be there and have some Helm family time over the long weekend while we had a little window of time we could slip away from the house and life around here.  Sadly, we're going to miss Patrick's family's annual Fourth Festivities, but I need some Granddad time!


Please just keep him in your prayers!  We'll be back soon to tackle more house-related adventures, but for now, we're off to get a Granddad hug!

Some Granddad wisdom for the day:

Keep your eyes open out there -
people'll think you're pretty dumb if you're walkin' around with 'em shut.
