Busy and Not-So-Busy Summer Days

July 11, 2018 by dkevinbrown

Wow! What an amazingly busy last couple of weeks it’s been. A trip to Mexico and Texas with the church was fantastic! So much was accomplished in Mexico with Mount Pleasant Baptist of Progreso and with New Life Baptist of Weslaco.

It was a blessing to travel with Pam this time. We’ve never been able to do a mission trip together. Yet, the kids are older now and we could pull it off.

I guess most of you have heard about this by now…

Kandace is engaged! Pam and I couldn’t be more excited. Clark Mayberry is a phenomenal young man! He’s a believer and he loves my daughter and that’s pretty awesome! He’s a graduate of ASU with an accounting degree and lives here in Wilkes, but works in Winston for C-Biz, a company that handles payroll and accounting for smaller companies.

Kandace and Clark plan to tie the knot next Spring, most likely in April 2019. They are such a blessing!

Kan is actually in Nashville right now working on an EP (a three-song Extended Play) that is being produced by some top-notch folks affiliated with the Annie Moses Band (AMB) and Nashville musicians. Kandace has the gift of song writing. AMB has seen that in Kandace and offered this opportunity to her, knowing it’s been a dream of hers to record some of her own music. She’s part of the faculty with the Annie Moses Summer Music Festival. She’s been attending this camp for years. Katy and Clara participated for many years as well. In fact, Andrew participated one year too. We miss Kan. She’ll be back the 16th. But, I suppose I need to begin getting prepared to miss her a whole lot more come next Spring (as she’ll be married) and moving out. Life moves on so quickly, doesn’t it!

Another testament of that is the fact that another July 4th is in the books.

We’ve been going and watching the fireworks across from Memorial Park in North Wilkesboro for years. We like the fire truck parade and all the festivities. But, I must admit, I really enjoy the hum-drum of just a quiet evening at home too.

Charlotte and Evie will come down and we’ll play together. I love it when Charlotte says, “Papa, do you want to play with me?” Truly a joy!

The same is true running up to mom and dad’s (we live beside of them). Here mom is explaining to Andrew how to make 14-day, sweet pickles the old-fashioned way…in a crock.

That’s a lost art and is dying out, unfortunately. Generations and priorities change. The time and effort to do things that takes 14-days are not in vogue. We like things to be accomplished in 14-seconds. 🙂 I’m thankful for mom working so hard to provide these yummy pickles. Let me tell you, a quart jar of those pickles…well…it’s like gold! Thanks mom!

Well, it’s time to get back at it. People to talk to and sermons to write. Blessings on a great summer… Busy…and not-so-busy. 🙂
