It's been a while since I wrote anything here. Life gets busy. We are sad these days, my mother-in-law died a little over a week ago. She was the best grandmother, she loved my kids and even though she was my father-in-laws third wife, you could not tell it in the way she loved my kids. She was a Godly woman and loved dad a lot, she took good care of him while he was dying. Sue will be gravely missed. Rebekah was named after her, her middle name, Sue.

Holy Cow, it has been a while, but, as a lot of you know, it is Christmas and you know what that means for us, busy, busy, and then on top of it in the last two weeks we had a corps member suddenly die, the big old fashioned Salvation Army funeral complete with Honor Guards, very cool, then on Monday night, Tuesday morning Rebekah starts vomitting, then Tuesday morning Bethany starts, Jon stays home because he  does not feel well, then after nursing homes Wednesday, I get home and am sick until Thursday morning. I go in on Friday morning because of things I had to do for toy shop this week and spend three hours at Wal-Mart spending over 6thousand dollars buying toys, what a week. Luckily two of our college students, Lauren and Emily came and helped and I ran into Cathy in Electronics and she helped, what a day, Thanks Lauren, Emily and Cathy, I could not have done it with out you guys.

Better run, gotta get ready for Church, Blessings to all and Merry Christmas.

 5 F's #2 is complete.

We are beat.

We had a great turn out, chilly weather, but that did not hold back the crowds of people. It was constantly busy starting at about 12:30 it was constant people. Don't know the totals yet, however it was a sucess.
