Picture perfect

I told you in the last blog that I hadn't gotten the Thanksgiving pictures - well they were sent to me. And since it was so cold outside, and I spent most of my time indoors on the computer, I decided that I would share them with you. Unfortunately, I am not too adept at doing pics on blogger - so I will just give you the path to my facebook album. Here it is:

I hope I got all of that right - I'll test it when I get done with my update.

Our grandson in Indiana, Guy, Gary's son, got engaged! He is still in high school - we think he is too young - but who knows. I remember a friend of mine that was engaged in our senior year and married right after the graduation - and it was a good solid marriage. We're praying that Guy hasn't bit off more than he can chew!

I finished my taxes in the cold. I guess that this winter cold spell wasn't all wasted. I also tested out the solar powered emergency supply and it runs the furnace and the refrigerator just fine. Being conservative with it's use, it should get us through any power outage that I anticipate we will have here in Sulphur.

Cathy and I were both very involved in Cursillo, back in Wisconsin and then in Fort Worth. We miss the Cursillo community and have tried to find it here in Oklahoma. It seems though that the ultra conservative hierarchy of the Catholic church have effectively put the Cursillo and Charismatic movements down here. We have only been able to contact one other Cursillo couple and they made theirs in Montana. We have decided to do the Emmaus Walk, sponsored by the Methodist church, and join their gatherings - since they are an outgrowth of Cursillo. The group is active here at the Sulphur United Methodist church. We will make our walks at the end of March and are looking forward to being active in their group.

The repairs to the Veterans Lake area of the park have been completed and the trails are open, so we will be able to go there and walk the trails, now that it is warming up. Spring is in the air and life is good! Enjoy yours as much as we are enjoying ours. I'll post again when something else important comes up.............
