Between being way too busy and internet problems... it has been a while!  We fly off to Virginia tomorrow morning, back next Sunday.

First - Last Friday Woman's Night Christmas Dinner! (descriptions under pics)

Below is a picture of the sky that greeted Uncle Tom and I when we came out of Target the other night.  It took my breath away... but Uncle Tom caught me before I hit the ground! 

The house I was working on selling.... it appears to be done!!! Yephee!!!  It is a very nice house. I took this to show my homemade signs.  The "OPEN" sign was cut freehand from paper and taped onto a card table top!!!  It was definitely last minute... but this brought the buyer.  (The house itself doesn't show in this picture.) 

It does bring out some interesting facts and things to consider.  I like the use of humor too!

PS  Am working at four jobs!  None full time... will have to catch you all up as they one by one, down to one come to an end.  Yephee! 

Here are some recent pictures and a video clip.  Sorry for not keeping up very good.  Am working a job plus my home business, etc. 

The girls were here, helping Grandpa rake up leaves.  I grabbed my camera.

Mushrooms! 

 Taking pictures while on my belly in someone's grass!

Shar (Betty) showed the video above to me yesterday.

PS  TOM is HOME safe and sound... I am so happy to have him back from Pennsylvania.  Thanks Lord.  The following picture shows what happens when we get separated.

Here's a picture of us kissing when he got home! 

 From a Goofy Friend, I love very much! 

    When I got home last night there was an e-mail from Bonnie. 

Note: If you recall, she was one of the directors of "Uncle Phil's Diner" play, which was a fund raising event for their mission trip to China.  They left for China on November 1, 2008.  

    This was my first communication from China.  Ok... this made me laugh right out loud!  First the picture.

     While working at an orphanage there in China.  They were playing around with the kids and Jeff (pictured above) picked up one of the little boys to give him a piggy back ride.  Well, his leg fell off!  Yes, you read that right!  Bonnie reports that after they all got done laughing, they had a little talk with Jeff.  They suggested he not dismantle anymore of the children!   

     It is my understanding the Chinese government controls when they are allowed to have heat.  The date for turning on the heat is November 15th.  The problem is it is rather cold over there, only getting up to around 60 during the day.  But another rule of the government is that before they turn on the heat the cost for the whole season must be paid up front.  The orphanage had some medical needs for the kids so they tapped their heat funds to meet those needs.  

Our Country is amazing!

Mom and Dad came for a couple days.  Don't they look good?

They got here on Thursday evening and we went out to dinner at Anthony's again.  This is where we had the "surprise" of running into Dr. Woods & Wife, Gail.... It was great to see them again and get to visit a little bit.  They are very loving and unselfish people who love the Lord and serve Him!

WE LOVE YOU!!!
