This week we had a nice game night at the house as a last hurrah before Ed deployed to Ramstein, Germany.
Ed arrived in Germany on Thanksgiving day. He has already put in two LONG days of work. He helps the chaplain there minister to wounded troops coming back from the desert. It sounds very intense. Thanks for your prayers.
Jesse, Julie and I went to the Western Treasure Valley for Thanksgiving. We had two groups of family to visit. We went to the Barnes' home in Payette. My grandma, Aunt Myrna, Uncle Drexell, Cousin Natalie, Cousin Drexell and family (wife Paige and three sons: Grayson, Drexell and Fletcher) were there. Fletcher really seemed to like Jesse and Julie.
The second group of family were in New Plymouth, the Spencers (my step dad's family). Back in the late 70's I spent several Thanksgivings with most of these people when they lived in Eugene, Oregon. There was Earl, Dick, Jim and Faye along with spouses, kids and grand kids. My mom and step dad came all the way from Roseburg to be there. It was so nice to see everyone.
Julie, Jesse, Me, Jim (my step dad), and my mom. See how her hair is growing back?! It was a very nice day to spend with many dearly loved people.

I meant to send my congratulations earlier! Anyway, Congratulations to Julie and Jesse! How wonderful that you've found each other may you have a lifetime of JOY (Jesus first, others (mainly your spouse) second, and yourself last!
Love and Hugs!
