Farmer's Daughter ~ Rodney Atkins

Well I heard he needed some help on the farm

Somebody with a truck and two strong arms
Not scared of dirt and willin' to work
till the sun goes down
So I pulled up and said I'm your man
I could start right now and we shook hands
He said the fence needs fixin',
the peaches need pickin'
And the cows need bringin round

Chorus:
I was haulin hay, I was feedin the hogs
and that summer sun had me sweatin like a dog
So I cooled off in the creek
then it was back to work in the daggum heat
I was cussin' out loud, thinkin bout quitin'
Lookin' back now I'm sure glad I didn't
Cuz just when i thought it couldn't get no hotter
I caught glimpse of the farmer's daughter

She was just gettin' home from Panama city
she was all tanned up and my kinda pretty
When her eyes met mine
I was thinkin that I would sure love my job
as the days got shorter our talks got longer
the kisses got sweeter and the feelings got stronger
so we'd hop in the truck and get all tangled up
every chance we got
we were down by the river all night long
when the sun came up I was sneakin' her home
and draggin my butt to work
with the smell of her perfume on my shirt
I'd be on the tractor she'd be on my mind
with that sun beatin' down on this back of mine
Just when I thought it couldnt get no hotter
I fell in love with the farmer's daughter
we got married last spring
Woah and there ain't no better life for me

I'm still haulin' hay and feedin' the hogs
and that summer sun has me sweatin' like a dog
so i cool off in the creek
and she brings me outta glass of sweet ice tea
I'm on the tractor and shes on my mind
and I can't wait till its quitin' time
and just when i think it can't get no hotter
I come home to the farmer's daughter
Yeah the farmer's daughter

American Honey ~ Lady Antebellum

She grew up on a side of the road
Where the church bells ring and strong love grows
She grew up good
She grew up slow
Like American honey

Steady as a preacher
Free as a weed
Couldn't wait to get goin'
But wasn't quite ready to leave
So innocent, pure and sweet
American honey

There's a wild, wild whisper
Blowing in the wind
Calling out my name like a long lost friend
Oh I miss those days as the years go by
Oh nothing's sweeter than summer time
And American honey

Get caught in the race
Of this crazy life
Trying to be everything can make you lose your mind
I just wanna go back in time
To American honey, yea

There's a wild, wild whisper
Blowing in the wind
Calling out my name like a long lost friend
Oh I miss those days as the years go by
Oh nothing's sweeter than summer time
And American honey

Gone for so long now
I gotta get back to her somehow
To American honey

Ooh There's a wild, wild whisper
Blowing in the wind
Calling out my name like a long lost friend
Oh I miss those days as the years go by
Oh nothin's sweeter than summer time
And American honey

And American honey

Update on Will

This was written by my mom:

Hi Everyone,

Just wanted to let everyone know Will has reached the second level of remission. The goal for this level was three to six months and he reached it in three. God continues to bless!

He is doing very well..enjoying work (most of the time), active on his bike and active in his church.

He saw his doctor yesterday and he suggested we consult with a bone marrow transplant (BMT) specialist. This is not because there are urgent problems. The meds are working and could continue to work for years, however there is always the possibility of things changing. It is much better to get the transplant when you are in remission than when in a crisis situation. If the BMT is successful, he would be able to get off the meds. Although Will is doing well, there are several advantages to getting off the meds.

We had to discuss with the doc the pro’s and con’s of doing the BMT here or in B’ham and have decided that we will pursue that here.

They thought we might be able to see the BMT doc this week, but it didn’t work out. Will is going to be home (Alabama) week after next and I’ll have my granddaughter, Lia, the next one. We are going to make the BMT appointment for the first week or so of July so that I can come back out.

I fly home tomorrow.

Thanks again for all your prayers. We continue to feel God’s goodness in all of this.

Status messages that I cant post on Facebook .....

I cant marry anyone with the last name beginning with "K" If I did, it might be hazardous to my health. Think about it. I I married someone with a last name that starts with that letter ... I would be: "Katherine "Kate" Kirkland K ....."

Will Update

Mom called me and told me that Will is fine. He will be seeing a bone marrow transplant specialist the beginning of July. Things are looking good so far. We will have the transplant done as soon as we can...and as soon as we find a donor match. Please pray that my sister and I are donor matches.

I have not been trough this before and neither has my sister so, we will need guidance as we pursue this. Thanks for all the prayers!!!!! You guys are truly special!!!!!
