Bits and Pieces

Well, after almost 2 months I am finally able to access the blog from home....I found out that our cookies had to be a bit higher on the scale for internet usage on a blog.....And I thought you could only eat cookies!

Sounds like Russell and Sharon are really enjoying Texas....truely relaxing!

Are the Wattenfords all settled now? Two houses in one.....Is all the carpentry done?

There really is not much news here.....It's cold, sometimes windy.....two hours a day on the road driving! Take a pill and go to sleep.

We've started a new Bible Study on Monday nights...Stepping up to the Psalms of Ascent....a study of the songs the exiles sang on their way back to Jerusalem...It has been VERY interesting and entertaining so far. 17 women......Lisa Person's who is a great neice in law to Gordy Persons who used to live behind Dorothy and Harvey on Elm Street in Fargo....any way....she is the other facilitator....Gordy Person also is a pilot and so is Lisa's father-in-law....so, of course, Terry has that connection.

My confirmation class is going to take a lot of time in Feb.....We are making three HUGE banners for the front of the church. They are also making stoles.....Where are those quilters when you need them!?!?! Luckily there are only 6 confirmands and hopefully their mothers will help A LOT. We are up to listing 65 names for God....Every Sunday we name 5 more......

Tonya's grandma McIlonie is going to have a big birthday celebration this Saturday....Terry and I plan to go up if the weather is decent...Trent and Ben just got back from skiing....Ben went to ski school....his first time skiing. They didn't go skiing the day it was -25. Trent learned to ski at -30...no wonder his hair stayed red!

Dorothy, Russell, and anyone else that remembers Andy Rehor "Andy Apple" on radio. He just died. I don't know any of the details....I got an email from Karen Anderson.

Well, I'll be anxious to hear from all of you....time to correct confirmation tests! The hardest question for them was "What do you talk about in school?" They thought it was a trick question.

Love you all. Susan
