Sunday, the 24th, the congregation sang Happy Birthday to me.
Monday, the phone rang continually with wonderful calls from all over the country. What fun! Beautiful cards were opened with great joy...love those cards. In the evening Steve and Cate came with Chinese dinner which was delicious. They also brought a delicate flower bouquet and lovely vase. We played Liverpool Rummy and had many good laughs in front of a roaring fire in the fireplace. Weather is cold and now we're promised a huge ice and snow storm tonight. So...we wonder what the weekend will hold. Every Sunday in Jan. has been very cold, or foggy, or raining...doesn't help attendance but we've had good services anyway. Hope your week is the best. Blessings... (Yes, our Holiday letters are in the mail, yeah!)

Beautiful Tuesday, 01-19-2010
The sun is shining, snow gone, spirits high...good day!
Our weekend zoomed by but, was great. Mary Guy, long time friend, was ordained in Osceola, MO. Benny had a honored role in her service. For refreshments following the elaborate service her mom planned a tea party...so cute and food delicious. We hurried home to attend the 2Timbers gospel music event held at the Seymour FCC, with a full house and great fellowship. Sunday went well. We are looking forward to spring, more in attendance, and some new programming.
Monday's Minister's Cluster Meeting was held near Branson. It is a good way to keep caught up on Area events. Then we helped Benjie pack up belongings...that is always a big job. They are so excited about their new home...and it is beautiful.
The kids start their new schools today. This is catch up day...we all need them, huh? Where to start is the problem...ha! Have a great day...blessings.

January 11...heat wave 32 degrees!
It is a cold Monday at the ranch. The weekend zoomed by like a flash. Benny took the leaf blower and blew our powdery snow off the walks and made a great blizzard wind (the kid in him came out). Friday, Stephanie and Courtney spent the night...food, rummy, and fun! Saturday, Benjie called in the evening to "come and see!" They had bought a new beautiful house in Nixa and had to show it...we were thrilled for them even if it was Saturday night and 11:00 PM.
Church Sunday was inspirational even though attendance was small due to the weather a minus 7 degrees...can you imagine? We had a lazy afternoon, and then Steve, Stephanie and Courtney came out for the evening. The girls helped their grandparents with some internet education...badly needed. (ha) We printed our New Year's letter and enjoyed lots of laughs. They leave on Wednesday for ID. We will miss them...they are delightful, beautiful, and so "sweet." (That is for Steve...I always tell him to "be sweet" and it brings a chuckle to our analytical
son. Anyway, Grandparents can brag!
The sun is out, the week looks good on the calendar, so we're ready to discover God's daily blessings...hope you do too.

Fun Times!
December 27th was our Christmas. Benjie and Steve's families made it a lively exciting day. We read the Christmas story, sang all the Christmas favorites with piano, organ and Steve on the drums. Yes, there was a delicious ham dinner, with Kathy's green beans and Cate's fruit salad. Then, we had to see what was in the Christmas Stockings, and play Liverpool Rummy!
Making it even better was having Stephanie and Courtney here from ID. New Year's Day Benjie's family came. We all enjoyed food and a movie. They stayed all night...fun! In the morning we had strata and coffee cake requested by the kids.
Monday night, Jan. 4th, the gang all met at Danny and Shanda's new home with the large TV for the Fiesta Bowl. Boise State University and TCU played a great game and BSU won! Wow! We all brought Mexican food, what an assortment and was it yummy! (Food is important to us, as you can tell, ha!) During all of this time we've had snow and very cold weather hovering around O degrees, brrrr. Oh yes, Sammy turned 3 on the second and Danny and Shanda had anniversary #1 on the third. Benjie was #1 selling real estate for Carol Jones in 2009. The new year has started with a bang....Wow! a new decade. Hoping this is a great week and new year for you...blessings.
