Think of Rachel

You may or may not know Rachel is going to have surgery on Monday the 19th. They are going to remove part of her stomach muscle because she has desmoids there that they want to remove. Nothing too major.
She and I were talking last week and she was sure we did not need to put out a request for a fast and prayer. Well, this morning Derik woke up with a cold. She is now convinced we all need to put in an extra word for her to stay well so she can have the surgery.
So, if you would not mind, just keep her in your prayers and thoughts as well as Derik and the doctors and all else who might need the little extra...

A TREE FOR MARILYN

Mike called and told me he was going to bring a tree over for Marilyn. Lance and his boys and Marilyns boy scouts all made ornaments for it. I think it turned out rather nice. It was cold but fun to put up. I was worried about it blowing away but Mike said the red bottom is full of cement so it will not go anywhere. Thanks Mike it was a lot of fun!!!

CHRISTMAS PARTY

We had a great time at the Christmas Party. I was good to see and visit with all who were able to make it and we missed all who could not. Carl and Lorna brought pizza for lunch (yum) and of course we had enough treats to last the month of December (although they did not). Amy did a great job with the gift exchange for both the kids and the families. Grandpa handed out calenders that Becky put together (they are fantastic). All the pictures are great. A lot of you went all out with family pics. Maybe we need to do this every year so we continue that trend!! I have loved to see all the family pics I have seen lately. Thanks to all of you!
