MY BROTHER JIM IS 69

That's Jim, second from the right, at our cousin reunion this summer. We had a lot of fun together as you can probably tell. God rescued Jim from a horrible accident as a child. I am so grateful that God spared him, because he is one fine brother. Jim and Sondy help us out when we need to be away for a time, even though they live in NE Iowa. It is hard to imagine how God could have gven us a better brother, We love you, Jim

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

ONE THOUSAND MILES ACCOMPLISHED

Sorry, but I'm a little slow getting this on my blog. Yes, I have finished my 1000 miles for the year 2011 and am excited to reach my goal. I enjoy running and walking so this has been fun. I am continuing to walk/run until December gets here so we will see how many miles I will have in the end.

MERYN IS 8 YEARS OLD

Our sweet granddaughter Meryn has her eighth birthday today. Meryn is a beautiful, caring girl. We are delighted that she lives close to us so we see her often. She loves the Lord and her family. Meryn, we pray that you will not miss any of God's plans just for you! We love you!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

ROGER CELEBRATES #43

Our firstborn son turns 43 today. Roger has been such a blessing to our family. From the time he was young he always was wanting some kind of business, whether selling watermelons or going door to door selling subscriptions. It is not surprising that he is a successful business man. He is always fun and ready to help wherever he is needed. We love you, son Roger, and treasure our many memories over these 43 years. We pray God will bless you with "the desires of your heart."

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
