• I know I need to update

  I have been feeling guilty at leaving this site unattended.  There seems to be so much going on around here and I haven't taken the time to record it.  Since I am not doing a quilt a month, the drive to keep this updated has diminished.  Maybe I need to start doing quilt tops again. 

  Well, the last thing that has happened around here was that our son's family was here for nearly 2 weeks.  They are missionaries in El Chal, Guatemala and have 3 small children.  The oldest is only 20 days younger than our youngest (he turned 4 while they were here).  Their next child was born on my 50th birthday which made an extra special birthday present.  (Not all of my birthdays turn out bad.  )  Then their 3rd baby, another sweet girl was born in Jan. so we had loads of fun holding little baby.  Our oldest daughter, Susana came out with them from PA to help DIL drive and take care of the children on their trip back to PA.  Our son stayed here, was joined by a friend and neighbor from El Novillero (where we lived 13 years in Guate.)  Those 2 are presently at the Guatemalan border with 2 trucks waiting to cross into Guatemala tomorrow.  DIL and children flew back to Guatemala 2 weeks ago.  I am sure they will be overjoyed when their little family has been reunited.  For your info--I have been given very strict orders not to plaster their names and photos on the Internet so that is the reason I don't.  I want to stay in his good graces and enjoy my grands so I obey. 

  I purchased a used camera on eBay: Canon Powershot SX210 is, and am trying to get used to it.  It is a point and shoot but also has manual settings so I need to learn all the bells and whistles. 

  Its time to go to church and I am not done.  I want to upload some pictures and add to this so if you read it and there aren't any pictures, please visit me again and get the rest of my post....until then, tootle do.
