Puzzle

This puzzle of 1000 pieces is almost completed...by some family members while the marbles game was going on. And worked on again after dinner.

We have had a diversity of entertainment going on...shopping, a tour of the New London Historical Society building, opened up especially for us... Lynne played a major role as a board member getting it organized and nicely stocked with old stuff. Tomorrow we go visit a wind farm, then some folks will be leaving. It has been fun, we've eaten great food...and laughed a lot, reminising and catching up on family happenings

How is your weekend? Life is good...sweet dreams, y'all!

High flying...

Dick needed to check out the airplane and fill up the fuel tanks, so he took the yard crew and friends up for a flight on Sunday.

You can biggify this photo and see some of the color changes in our leaves...we are saying goodbye to the lake...

The plan is to leave Thursday for NH for the annual gathering of the Bell siblings/cousins. Some of you will remember that the gathering was here in Mayberry last October. This year we will be back at brother Bob/Lynne's home in central NH, joined for the first time by cuzn Bill and wife Betsy. And for the first time by Pat, new wife of Sherman.

It'll be a fun...and of course there will be pictures!

Yard crew

I've got myself a handsome yard crew, don't I? They work cheap. Hugs and cold water make good payments, right?

Crew in training. Scooter, not the dog. Scooter's getting that walking thing down pretty good. He'll be making big bro take turns on that mower before too long. Zoom, zoom.

The wee boys will be napping here this afternoon while Amy continues her RV park paperwork training. Between the two of us, we are streamlining these chores to make it easier on both of us. Now that's a mighty good thing!

Especially since Dick and I are about to leave on another adventure. Very soon.

Laboring on Labor Day

We've come a long way in 25 years from this 'borrowed' church with no running water and a two-holer out back, to a modern facility, complete with running water and inside plumbing. Oh yes, and an office with a computer inside!

I was parish secretary for many years, working out of my home on my own computer, and at no pay. We've come a long way, baby! We now have a paid (great) administrator. And we are about to celebrate 25 years of existence with a bang up party next month.

One parishioner has been busy researching info for a historical time line, and now I am coordinating it into a booklet, which brings me to today, sitting here in the church office all alone, working on the booklet while our administrator is not using the comptuer. It is peaceful, no phones ringing since it is a holiday, and it is sunny and warm outside. Life is good in paradise! Praise God from whom all blessings flow. And may God help this booklet to get finished in time for the party. Amen.
