Summer 2009

Summer is going fast! Mark and I worked at VBS last week and we were tired but we had a great time. I am not in Bible study in July but plan to be in a couple in the Fall. I am studying Revelation on my own. Mark's mom and Ike have moved from St. Joseph and that has been a change. Mark has done some landscaping out front. Not much going on but no news is good new! Hope all of you are well!!

Spring 2009

My friend Gretchen reminded me I needed to blog and she was right. It has been awhile. Mom spent Mother's day and night here with us and we had a great time! My Bible study and Wonderful Wednesdays have kept me busy and Mark was in Wednesday small group too! They both end this week. I am reading Christian fiction now and am currently reading Karen Kingsbury's, "Redemption". The poodles are great. Mark and I celebrated 19 years of marriage on the 28th and the weekend before, we went to Basswood Resort near KC. They had an awesome accessible cabin and while we did not fish, we spent time with Peggy and Don. The Lord arranged for me to meet Peggie at Women of Faith this Spring. She and her husband both have Cerebral Palsy and no children. They are from the KC area. I think we will be meeting with them again. I hope so as we have a lot to talk about. Like me, she used to work in the field of helping those with disabilities in administrative roles. She is a stay at home wife now. Otherwise, we are enjoying the outside and I am trying to be in the pool at least once per week. Hope all is well with everyone!

Just January

Not much to report. Things are pretty routine, which is good. I am reading three different books (two for study groups and one on my own). We had the poodles hair cut last week and we bought them coats to keep them warm. We really have been blessed with a milder winter than last year.

Josh

On Christmas morning, Mark's nephew was found dead. Mark and I were in route to Cameron when we found out, in the afternoon. We know he had asthma but the autopsy results will take a few more weeks. Josh was only 17 and was the youngest of 3 brothers. The funeral was Monday after Christmas. It was packed and many young people were there. Please pray for his friends and his family.
I try to keep busy with scrap booking and work around here. Small group begins tonight and I hope Home Builders starts next Tuesday morning. Thankful that the weather has not been bad.
