Happy Beautiful Day to You!
It's so pretty outside, I'm finding it hard to work in-doors. The sunshine calls me. Mom
and I have planted a garden with tomatoes, radishes, peppers, onions, radishes, squash,
okra, radishes, beans, peas and more radishes. I haven't been able to find long white
radishes for the last several years, so when I saw them at Wal-Mart, I bought 7 packages
and planted all 700 seeds. Mom told me later, I should have spaced them out over sever
al weeks, so all of them wouldn't be ready to eat at once. Now she tells me! I have a
feeling I'm gonna be radish - sick by mid-summer.
Happy Mother's Day to all you Mother's and our precious mom, Joyce Jenkins.
At 78 she gets around good and still drives fast. She loves riding her 4 wheeler,
and taking care of her chickens and garden. She and Dad had 7 children, all of
which are going to church. She managed to get all of them married off, except
Angie and me, and prays for all 7 of us daily. She loves to travel with us when
she can. We've ask her to pray and dedicate this new CD to the Lord. Enjoy the
pictures of her. There's more on the back and on our web site
www.jenkinssisters.com.
We had a good trip to LA. We were only gone 4 days, and Mom went with us.
We drove her car, since there's no room for her in ours. We enjoyed seeing the
Higgins family, long ago friends, who own a fish dock. The treated us wonderful
and fed us some cajun cooking.....YUM.
At Pottsboro, the pastor was so funny. He said one old maid told them she had
scripture for not getting married. When ask which scripture, she quoted "I would
not have you ignorant brethren!" He's also the one who told me he was on a
cheeseburger diet. The other diets didn't work, so he's trying this one out and it's
working really good. I loved it!
We now have satellite internet. We can get our work done so much faster.
We've been needing this for 13 years and finally was able to get it installed out
here in the country. We are up to speed with the rest of the world.
Have you visited our new web site www.jenkinssisters.com? Christine is our
new web master and she's making it look good. The media area and pastor's info
is getting easier to download and use for posters. If you have a radio in your
area, send us their address and we'll send them our web site info. They can get
a CD too, by request.

All I can figure out, Angie loves doing laundry,
cause she finds a washing machine empty and
she instantly puts it to work. |
Hendrix Family ate Mexican food with us
on our way out, after giving us a wonderful
bed & breakfast for our trip. |

Gator Cove was a great place to look around. |
It's here. It has arrived. Finally a finished CD ! We are
so excited to have #18 (which now has a name) ready to be shipped out. Those who sponsored or
prepaid for this project, will receive your copy 1st. The official name is "Thank God for My
Christian Home". Our mom, Joyce Jenkins, sang that song on this CD, so we named it in honor of
her. (Just in time for Mother's Day. How 'bout that?) Brent Gregg did vocals on 3 songs and
did good. It contains 12 songs total. We are now gonna try to finish #17, which may take a few
more months. Our engineer for that one, Clint Sturgeon, has been in Nashville recording vocals
with Cadillac SKy, a bluegrass group. Also, this is his busy season with his water system business,
so it maybe on hold for a few months.
We are still praying and asking for prayer for a Gas Engine RV. We want one small enough for us girls to take care of and not cost so
much at the gas pump, but large enough to save on motel bills. We've curtailed our tours until this problem can be fixed. We've missed
seeing some of you this year. It will be our first year to miss the West Coast Tour in several years and it's sad not seeing you all. But I
would have to strap Angie on top and she's allergic to so much of the outdoors, that may not be a good thing.
We're still praying for you prayer requests. We've already got good reports and answers on some things we've been praying for.
WE KNOW GOD STILL ANSWERS PRAYER.
We still need our car fixed on the left side, where the equipment has broke a spring. It sets crooked, so we sit with our head tilted a bit. It's ok for us, but when we sing, everyone else tries to tilt too. We're getting drunk on the tilt-a-whirl ride!
