I have decided to join the Thousand Blessings crowd.....so here we go....count your blessings, here are mine Number 1- 5

A Sunday Word

Not really sure if anyone out there is still reading this blog. I guess you easily tire of something that is never updated. I know I do. I have friends who faithfully update....and bless you, it is so much fun to read and follow what you are up to. They I have friends who have not updated for a long time. Maybe it would be better to close shop all together? One blog I do update these dates is www.africaupdates.blogspot.com This is where we put updates and news from our guys in Africa. Jonathan and Don are there teaching and training and this is a good place to let everyone know what is going on. Myself....well, it has been a nice, quiet Sunday....spent in my comfortable chair in the corner....reading, reading, reading, studying and just spending time in the Word. ....sort of like a day of just plain feasting. Got to talk to Sweden twice and that was nice. My Mom and one of my Sisters....and catch up on their news. Always good. Take care everyone out there.

Road Trip South

In August we traveled south to visit with friends. We had fun and also got some much needed rest. We camped in our trailer...the weather was nice and it was all good.

The Oregon coast on a beautiful and sunny day.

The sand dunes in Florence, a nice place to visit.

Oh it was good to rest....

We saw many beautiful sights, both in California and on the Oregon Coast.

My Kitty Cat

It was a good day

Mother's Day was a good day!

A Thought

I wonder why it is that Mother's Day is such a hard day? It really shouldn't be that way.
