My Grandkids

There are fourteen reasons I am glad to be alive!

That's because I have fourteen grandchildren.  Ten girls and four guys!  They are smart, talented, good looking (you should see the babes!)  And most of them are musical.

This week, I have seen seven of them and heard from most of the rest of them.

Last week, I saw one play soccer.  She's pretty good.

So that's why I am a happy man!

I Did It!

Well,

Just two weeks after surgery, I preached twice today at Williamston.  It went great and I am no more tired than usual.  So that is great and I am thankful to God for getting me through all this.  But I am especially thankful for the wonderful family who carried me through all this with their prayers, and their encouragement.

By the way, I have had this blog since January and this is only my second entry.  That is because I didn't remember how to post a new entry!  Can you believe it?  I am such a NERD!  But Michael, my grandson, came to my yesterday and walked me through the incredibly simple process and here I am again.

So watch for me now, cuz I will be back!

Back to School!

Well, what do you all think of having to go back to school? It was hard getting up this morning and trying to find all my books, and then get dressed. I couldn't decide what to wear of my new clothes that I got for Christmas so that was a bummer. Then my toast burned and the bus came and I wasn't quite ready, and.....

....Oh, I forgot. I don't go to school anymore. In fact I don't even go to WORK anymore. I just sit in my easy chair with my coffee and read the paper, have my devotions and if I am still tired, I just take a nap.

Sorry for all of you school people!

Clan Christmas

Yesterday we, the clan, met at the Midway Best Western in Lansing for our annual Christmas celebration. After enjoying a deliciously long table of snacks and desserts, we met in the Capitol room for carolling and devotions. Some of the kids sang and played their intruments. Kelle, from Florida, showed a fantastic slideshow and then gave each of the families one to enjoy later.

The rest of the evening was spent meeting with some of our latecomers. It was also a great time for each of us.

Some of us didn't sleep very well. Maybe the beds were different. Maybe other reasons, but after a nice breakfast, we headed for home and started planning the next celebration at Somerset Beach Lodge.

To anyone reading this, I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and I wish you have a spiritually blessed New Year in 2008.

Busy Day

I have been busy doing what grandma's do---baby sitting. i have 14 grandchildren!!!
We are one of the lucky ones who live close enough to see them all quite often.

But!!!!!!I am ready for bed so guess the four plus a couple of cousins have helped to make me tired.

They now want their cherry pie and ice cream so have to go.
