Happiness

The two shall become one. Dad and I can now be completely happy here. He loves hamburgers and root beer and I love fish. This then, was the perfect way to end our Easter get away.

Easter Break

Easter this year, 2009, was for us the climax of a very busy time and we were exhausted. Believe me 60 isn't the new 20. Therefore after a very meaningful and wonderful Easter service Larry and I took off for Omaha and a time of rest. We checked into a wonderful Holiday Inn. We slept, laid around, slept and laid around. Below are some pictures of the pool area. We think we may have found the next spot for a family vacation. This pool area was fantastic. Even had a play yard. The pool was huge and it was the walk in style. Lots of tables and chairs and the pool is fenced in. It is perfect. On Monday we did a little shopping in the afternoon and headed home. It was a great time.

Drama - Last Chance

This picture doesn't begin to capture the beauty of our stage once it was decorated for the drama. Add to this the amazing effect of lights and colored flames coming out of all of those pillars and you will begin to imagine out neat it was. Putting it up and taking it down was once again an amazing experience. You have to be a part of it to really understand.

Drama - The Cast

The last few days our lives have been consumed with the working out of our congregation putting on the drama "Last Chance". Pictured here is the entire cast. Once again this has been a tremendous experience for our church family. It stretched everyone in unimaginable ways. Everyone did a fantastic job, put in many, many hours and shared a witness for Jesus Christ. We saw many decisions and have a number of great contacts to follow up on. Many other people besides those pictured here put in a lot of hours. Once again we praise God for his working through his people.

The Joy Of Being 60

Friday after a day of satisfying work we decided to go out for pizza. We decided to order since the pizza establishment is sometimes slow. After a discussion on pizza size, Larry wanted medium so he would have enough to eat and I wanted small so I wouldn't over eat, we ordered. Later we ate pizza and had a leisurely discussion on all the things on our hearts and minds. By the time we finished, nearly every bite of our medium pizza was gone. Then we drove around town a little and went to a store to look at seeds. We planned and dreamed about how beautiful our yard is going to be this summer. :) Then we got ice cream and chocolate sauce at the grocery store. When we got home Larry worked on bills and me on a school project for awhile. Then we made shakes and ate them. Then we settled on the couch to sleep until it was time to really crawl between the sheets for the nights sleep. Before I fell asleep I thanked God for the joys of being 60.

New Baby

This is the expected arrival date of our new grandson. Uncle Dave's birthday is the 23rd and Grandpa O's is the 25th. We will see when grandson #4 chooses to appear. We are anxious to meet him and welcome him to the family.

We really enjoyed a visit recently from Eric, Sarah and little Josiah. What a great time we had.
