I thought I’d have more time this winter . . . . maybe it’s still coming. Sitting down a bit with the boys to work at learning to read for Japheth Jr. and learning the letter sounds with Jeremiah takes the little extra time that being inside the house gives.
I did have a major accomplishment a few days ago (the house looks like it!) I finished a dress for our anniversary date. This year we aren’t celebrating in a big way though it is the five year mark.
We’re having revival meetings with Keith Daniel the first few days of this week. Then the ladies of the Stauffer guys are getting together to sew. How much will I get done? . . . probably not a whole lot with keeping the children out or the way of everyone else.
Friday hits the five year mark. So a quiet dinner out just the two of us!
Saturday it is my turn again for cooking for the Stauffer Clan.
Last Saturday we had eighteen International students out here at our place. They were friends of our “girls,” mostly Malaysian. We deep fried a turkey, grilled some chicken and brats, had fried rice etc. The game “Swat” with that many you hardly know is quite a challenge, but at least you come away from it with a better grasp on their names. - Pray for them. Here’s a few of their names: Wah, Macko, Fanilla, Fei, Ven, Chen, Nicholas, Amanda, Kassib, Natasha, Christopher, Suchin, John, Huey, etc.

I can't help but be a little envious that you get to hear Keith Daniels. I heard him once at Leola at the Bible School program. I'll have to look and see what his schedule is this week-end to find out where you are :)
In your July 21 post you told Sharon you wanted to know more about her. I can tell you more :)
She is a fun person who loves the Lord and is a great friend even if you don't do your part. The first time I seen her she was a darling little girl, with dark curls, and scooting around in her walker, chewing on a toy. She was across the room waiting for her new Mommie to love her and take her home. We approached the desk and told them who we were. The lady in charge walked out to Sharon and picked her up and handed her to her new Mommie. Sharon had a slight runny nose and her new Mother took her hankie and wiped Sharon's nose just like she had done it for years. And I think she had. Her Mother wanted a baby so bad that I am quite sure she had taken care of a baby often in her dreams. Only this time the dream came true and the dream was Sharon.
Sharon's other Mom.:)
