Visitor for Thanksgiving

The family was so glad to get to have Clinton over for a few days for the Thanksgiving holidays. I'm sure he wished he could be home with his own family for the big meal and family time. But since he couldn't be there, we were glad we got the privilege. The kids had a good time together seeing the small town stuff. Tammy was busily cooking, dad cutting up the vegetables, the kids put up the tree, and wrapped a few presents. With three Thanksgiving meals, one with Tammy's folks, later one with her extended family, and on Friday one with all of my family, there was no shortage on eats. They took time out for a little shopping and shared in our "first snow." Also appreciated being able to have Clinton in church at Ritchey for Sunday morning worship and hear him testify of being newly saved. So good to see young people going for God. Look forward to you coming again, Clinton.

First Snow

Sunday morning we awoke to snowflakes falling. Surely it wouldn't last long. But the flakes continued growing in size and rapidness. It was too warm for the snow to accumulate much but that didn't stop the children from scooping it and accosting one another with snowballs. Tammy and I were able to dodge most of them lodged our way. As the people gathered in for Sunday morning services noses were red and the children were abuzz. Thanksgiving now past and the flakes now falling, it was a good morning to start singing the Christmas Carols. It looks like winter has begun.
