Bill and Mae Tarter

Tuesday evening we had a celebration in Wyomissing, PA. Bill and Mae Tarter (Rena's Dad and second Mom) celebrated their 40th Wedding Anniversary with a drop-in reception at their home. Although their anniversary isn't until January 6th, we wanted to celebrate a little early while we could all be together during the holidays. It was great to see so many of their friends from church, Christar (their former mission) and neighbors. They are dearly loved.

Back to normal

Oh yea! Seems we have our blog back to normal now. Sorry, no pictures today. We are enjoying time with family in PA. Our niece and nephew left this morning to return to Vermont and Florida. My (Rena's) brother and sister-in-law, Deborah are still here as we prepare for Dad and Mae's 40th Anniversary celebration.

It appears we've angered the blog gods. Maybe we got too cute, but we've lost the bells and whistles and got demoted to just plain blog.

Rena and I are still here and doing well. I'm wrapping up some repair station matters with the FAA this week that I don't want to have to deal with next year. Rena is focused on planning a reception for her parents in Pennsylvania on December 29th. It seems like there's something else big going on this week that involves the grandkids. Oh, I'll remember what it is later.

Merry Christmas!

Christmas Must Be Coming

The grand kids gave us a little "nudge" and offered to help put the Christmas tree together this evening. In their eyes Grandma and Grandpa were a little slow in getting in getting into the Christmas spirit. They were good helpers.

Off to a good start.

Someone needs a lift.

A job well done!
