Upcoming Trip to Georgia

This weekend we will be traveling to GA for Ruby's 2nd birthday week. We are both ready to visit again, and I will post pictures while we are there.

Adele has finally settled into a 'normal daily routine'. She is enjoying her retirement by working herself into a very tired state at church. She is helping getting the children's classrooms ready for next week. It has been a long last four weeks of painting walls, chairs, furniture, etc. Then everyone chipped in and washed most of the plastic toys, and other items. New floor cushions to sit on, new kitchen to play with, all bought in the past month. The rooms look very warm and inviting.

I only had to say something to one person about Adele and her working too much - and getting so wiped out. That helped tremendously and she was able to keep going all month.

We also met Jane Lahai from Africa and the June Hartranft School for Girls. She gave our church an annual report, and let us know how much the girls appreciate what we are helping with. They do need a new 'pit' toilet, as the old one is full and needs to be covered up. A new van for transporting girls to school and getting groceries, and money for a brass band are also high on her list of things that would help them. We provide meals on one day a week now, and they provide food for all of the boarders and school girls once a day.

Next post will probably be after Adele's annual tests in January 2011. We look forward to those results and another year free from cancer. Now cancer free for 19 months and counting.

Praise the Lord!
