Unusual Weather!

This morning I woke up to the sound of rain dripping off the roof. How unusual...the rainy season is expected to be over in January and the beginning of the next rainy season should not come till May. It does keep the grass green, needing mowed every week, but it does look nice.
Sheryl is in Florida for three weeks helping with the care of Joah, our newest grandson that was born on Saturday 12th, We had not purchased tickets early this time due to the uncertainty of the baby's arrival and our team schedule. It couldn't have worked out better.... team scheduled to leave Monday morning early and Sheryl flew out on Sunday morning the day before. Our team schedule has a 4 week break so I'll be joining her in Florida for about a week, towards the end of the month. During this time off I had plans to paint the outside of our house to freshen it up, but my schedule so far has been filled with meetings and other odds and ends to keep up with, around the house. My diet has changed somewhat but I did find a stash of cookies in the freezer and found that they're just about as good frozen as when they come out of the oven. Last night I even cooked myself some cabbage....not bad with some deer bologna from a hunting friend, that was a pleasant surprise sent down recently.
Our team last week was from Petra Fellowship in New Holland which was made up of 15 ladies from the church. A pleasant surprise came with them as team leader....Randy Weaver our past director who returned to the States one year ago! Our time was wonderful in many ways. The director of the home where the ladies worked was overwhelmed with the quantity of work that got done and the love given to the kids was so special. The ladies sewed 28 special leather/vinyl type crib mattresses, washed windows, painted, and held lots of babies.
The pictures below are from the team week and of our grandson.....you can tell the difference. I hope.





Blessings to all, Jim and Sheryl
