Since Thanksgiving our family has enjoyed so many wonderful times with family and friends. Thanksgiving was our Finley family gathering. Then, Christmas we enjoyed time with Mother and Daddy and lovely friends. New Years we spent with Mayberry and Hutcheson family and many of our friends from past years. Kaelyn, our granddaughter,is such a joy! It's so good to visit and catch up and laugh and share together. We are richly blessed with wonderful memories to carry with us!
thank you! she was already sick and didnt drink enough fluids. i think that's the main problem, but they're working on getting her well. thanks for remembering her in your prayers.
No prob! We love the Henrys. We had met them before a few times in TX. Hopefully we'll get to see them more as they come to FL in the future! Or if we EVER get y'alls way!! ;-0
Frani had such cute pictures of Kaelyn on her blog today. We had an interesting conversation with Josh while at Brady about facial hair, and how young guys just have to try stuff and work through it. ha
We are having fun. Thanks for loaning out your son. Hope he is having as much fun as we are. (We missed getting to the grocery store today - but maybe we can go tomorrow. ;)
I saw where you wrote on Sarah's blog that you all are eating at King's Buffet today. We wanted to eat out, too, and called a couple of Mexican Food Restaurants, who said they'd be closed. So we've decided on pizzas (from the freezer) and an afternoon of fun and games...just the of us. Enjoy your day!
That would be nice. My mom used to sew alot but just doesn't have the time for it like she used to. I'm hoping that she might be able to squeeze me in some place. I've tryed reading to learn but I just don't learn that way. It just made me feel more over whelmed. Glad you all got to spend time with Nathan, Sarah, and Kaelyn!
The great thing is it works for all occasions--bday, xmas, or even just an "I was thinking of you when I bought this terrible gift"... hmm I hadn't thought of that before. That would really throw them off to recieve something for no reason and then for it to be an atrocious gift. Wow, this idea is really "blossoming", haha.
Thanks! I'll let you know how everything goes and if I made it or not on saturday after I get home or Sunday. But yeah I will definitely let you know. I hope you all are doing ok. I hope to see you all again soon.
Pictures from Germany trip If you click on this link, you can go to Mark's pictures from our Germany trip. It was such a grand adventure and we have many wonderful memories.
I loved your pictures! Do either of you speak German? We were in Germany for just a short time, and I'd really like to go back. Looks like you all went at a good time of year.
Hello, Glad you had a good trip/gospel mtg. in Germany. Monk let me know that you had a pic of Caleb (captain_obvious) at the bowling alley/birthday party. I down loaded it to the pc, but when I printed it it came out small and un focused. Would you mind emailing it to me in larger form. I have my windstream address on my pleo. With great appreciation. You have some great pic's. Squirrel
That is very true ... but something that we learned in the speech was that at times during the interrogation, the FBI agent said Saddam H was a "normal guy ... talking and cracking jokes!" He said there were times he had to remind himself he was looking into the eyes of the man who had done so many evil things.
I really enjoy my Fusion I wasn't sure I wanted another car but after I test drove it, I was sold. We bought it in April it is an 06 had all the bells and whistles and only had 4000 miles on it. A widow lady traded it in for Caddy after her husband died because she had always wanted a cadillac, So it was basically a new car.
I've enjoyed the pictures, though something on my computer won't let me get the slideshow going or allow me to make them larger. I continue to get kicked off. But I can see all the small ones and I see some beautiful countryside!
I wasn't sure what address to send to him... or if he changed addresses so needed me to send an email to auto add to his add book?? Or if I was just loosing it???
They lived there 3 separate times; I believe Mark said Mannheim (that's where he graduated high school), Kaiserslautern, & Munich (I'm sure I butchered that spelling on the "K") !
We're in Weissenthurm, Germany and having a good day seeing the city. We went to Cologne yesterday and saw a beautiful cathedral. It's been a real adventure and I'll tell more later. We're all fine, but having a hard time finding an Internet hotspot.
Mark's niece, Rachel, and her husband and family came to hear Gene the last night of the meeting. They drove over an hour from Roanoke, VA. Such a sweet family! She was at FC with Jady and Jacob, and he was at FC with Luke and Suzanne.
We arrived a little after noon today. The trip was long, but uneventful. We had a little longer than expected layover in Amsterdam, but it still was not bad. It's lovely Fall here and nicely cool. The gospel meeting starts tomorrow and it runs through Sunday. I'm sure we'll have many common acquaintances and it's so nice to meet more faithful Christians. We should have plenty of pictures to share later.
Technology is wonderful! To us, it seems like Germany is just around the corner. Thanks for checking in! We await pictures, which, I'm sure, will be SUPERB!
Glad you had a good, uneventful, safe trip. Have fun,,only laid over in Germany but loved Switzerland...we went up in a gondola car in the Alps...one of God's magnificent creations!!
Thank you for checking in with us. You've been in my prayers. I can't wait to see pictures, and hear all about it, but if necessary, I can wait until Thanksgiving. But only if necessary! Love you.
Hearing Mark's voice this morning was great!So glad the flight was safe . Ryan is safe too, and we are enjoying him. I like hearing the back door opening and hearing his "hel-lo".
