Our Annual Trip to the Pumpkin Patch

Every year we go to a pumpkin patch so that Taylor can pick out her pumpkin. This year we went to the Congress Street United Methodist Church - this is one of our favorite patches to visit. Not only do they have a great selection of pumpkins and it is always decorated so you can take pictures. But as Mike will tell you they have one of the best pumpkin rolls in town. Every year we always have a family picture taken - I guess that is what I look forward to the most. So here is our Annual Tharp Family Fall Picture (2008). So enjoy it now and if you get one in your Christmas card - sorry!





The picture in the profile is last year's picture from the Benton County Pumpkin Patch. How we change in a year!!!

Another Sleepless Night

Well I have been up and down all night. Been on the computer since about 1:30 am. I have been suffering from an upper respiratory infection since Monday and it is just not getting any better. Tomorrow is my last day of meds from the doc so I guess I am going to have to go back for another round. I can barely talk - but I guess depending on who you ask that is a blessing.

Meme had her hip replacement surgery yesterday - it was so hard not being there with her. But from all of the reports that I have gotten - she is in ICU recovering - please pray that the recovering and rehab goes well and that she has the strength to endure. Please also pray that we can get the up here before winter sets in and that they know we are doing this so that we can take care of them and because we love them. I don't think that Papa realizes that we are doing this for both of them and that it is not punishment for him. They are just so far away that it is hard for anyone to help and look after them.

Well Mike is up and getting ready for work - so I guess I should go try to fix him some lunch.

I pray that you all have a wonderful weekend and hopefully it is not another 4 or 5 months before I post again. Our love to all - Rendi
