Mothers day surprise

New lights

This is last minute but Emily's graduation is streamed live on concord.edu
Want you all to pray for Danny today. He is sick. I think probably pneumonia again. He is nauseated and vomiting. Really weak. Emily graduates today. It he isn't feeling up to going. We are still waiting on word from Texas. As of Thursday they had requested more tissue samples from UVA and we have to wait on the final on that.
Thank you All for your prayers

Garage

David:

The garage did have some termite damage and some of the foundation was rotten.  That's not bad for 62 + years though.  I am planning on building on the same spot only bigger.  Concrete floor, insulation, heat, etc.

Daddy use to play with Everett and Bea


Bluegrass legend Everett Lilly dies

Bluegrass legend and Raleigh County native Everett Lilly, who with his brother Bea, reached the heights of bluegrass fame, died at his home in Clear Creek Tuesday afternoon, according to his son, Everett. He was 87.  The brothers began performing together as boys and after World War II, they played live on WJLS radio. From there they moved to Wheeling radio and then to Knoxville, Tenn.
In the '50s, Everett played with Flatt and Scruggs and played with them at the Grand Ol' Opry in Nashville.  The pair also spent 16 years in Boston playing at the Hillbilly Ranch and are credited with bringing the bluegrass sound to Japan. The Lilly Brothers were inducted into the West Virginia Music Hall of Fame and the International Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame. Everett received the Vandalia Award, West Virginia's highest folklife honor, in 2009.  Bea Lilly died in 2005. Everett played on with his sons and other musicians as the Lilly Mountaineers.  Funeral arrangements for Lilly are unknown at this time.

It was good to hear the update on Danny.  I'm glad that your 1st trip is going to be taken care of as far as the flying part.  I can't believe it's so hard taking care of the oxygen though.  Addy, that place looks beautiful in the picture but it doesn't look like it fits in the mountains of WV lol!!!  I have never heard of it.  Today was supposed to be a rainy do so we took Mar bowling for the 1st time.  I had a coupon for 2 free games for children :)  She made it to the last frame of the 1st game then lost interest.  She had fun though.  I tell ya, a ramp and bumpers make all the difference in the world.  Her score was 101!!  I did not break 100 :{ lol
Addy: A few years ago Dan and I took a week and toured West Virginia, and we visted the place you are talking about. Actually, unless someone told you about it, you would not even know it is there. It is indeed down a single lane dirt road. A lot of the concrete is crumbling, because the people that actually built it were young people who looked in books to see how to do concrete, and they didn't learn everything that they needed to know. Also, there is chanting over a loud speaker all the time. It is a good thing that the building is out among the chickens and cows.
