January and Still Busy!!!

I thought with all the Holidays behind us that the business would slow way down, not. We started off the new year with a trip down to our daughter Melisa's and our son-in-law Johns house in Jasper (near Corning). Our two grand daughters, Hannah and of course Rachel too, well they had a little play at their church were Melisa and their pastors wife have started a Friday School program through the church they attend and so we thought we would love to go and support them, so we did. It was fun... Well Dave and I and Robert and Julie and Nathan and Sarah(Nate's soon to be wife) we all decided to go together and we had a great time too... We had fun and of course Melisa and John were so good to us and they worked really hard at putting so many of us up and we were fed good as well. After the girls play that night we went back to Melisa and Johns and we had many good snacks that we had prepared, yummy... The next day was New Year's Day and I had ordered to bring with us some Prime Rib and Melisa made twice baked potatoes and and veggies and oh yeh I made some small crocks of french onion soup too. We had cheesecakes for desert, it was all good.
The food was good the play was cute and family time, well that is just the best of all. We all had a wonderful time and it ended much too quickly... Thanks John and Melisa for your hospitality... Oh yeh, time with the girls, well that was the best...

Then we have been busy with our Anniversay and two grand girls birthday too... A good friend of mine is in the hospital and she really needs prayer...I have been trying to help her too. We
had our 26th Anniversary on the 22nd of January. We ended up going to my friends house her has been sick and in the hospital and was now out, yet still in trouble and so we went there and I spent the night with her and she is back in the hospital again for another stay...So the next day, our lovely daughter Kayla and her husband Jesse invited us and we went over with Nate too and she made us a nice dinner for our Anniversary. She did a good job and we had a really good time with both of them and Nate too, we all know he is entertaining..
Thanks Kayla and Jesse... My husband purchased a new gas fireplace for us for our Anniversary, we love it and it is a good thing as that evening and last night remember it was cold, well our blower on our furnace decided to act up, thank God we had this fireplace... Andy Dennis was kind enough to come over at 11pm. we thought it was fixed but in the night it quit again so he came back this morning and it is up and running once again.

We moved into Madrid back in November and Dave and I are doing good with the move. I wondered how it would be, the house we left was new and everything was in place and it was a very warm house, so I had wondered how comfortable it would be, but I really felt as though the Lord really spoke to me this summer while we were camping and was saying this was the time to move, see we knew we were going to move we just weren't sure about the timing, but when God speaks we shouldn't question and so it has been a fairly easy transition for us...We have settled in and are happy and contented and loving our time together in life living alone for the very first time since we have been married...It was an adjustment, but we are good to go now... God is good and there are many seasons of a person's life...Enjoy each one as it comes, for surely they are coming and that is a part of each of our lives...
