Wild Urp


Here is a picture of Wild Urp. He is the paper toy of the month for November over at the Custom Paper Toy blog. You can make him in just a few minutes and it is fun as all get-out! All you need is a printer, card stock, scissors, glue. (Guess where most of my Christmas presents are coming from this year? ...Uh huh!)




prayer request

I would ask anyone on here today to pray for my stepgrandaughter, Katie and her family. She is Laura's oldest. Her husband, David Perkins left today for Iraq. He is in the army in Ft. Hood, TX. That is near Waco. Please pray for him and Katie and their one year old, Loretta. David will have a very dangerous job of seeking out and blowing up bombs. I suppose that would be the IED's the media speaks of. Just pray for safety and wisdom for David. He is 19 years old and ALL army just as it should be. He will be gone for 15 months. Her dad and grandmother are there this week to help her get through it. Laura was down in September. It's a very sad time for them. They know they may never see each other again. I do not know about David's salvation. I do not think he is saved. But God can work in thse situations. Just keep them close to your heart. I am sure Katie would love to hear from anyone. Just call me or email for her address. Of course, please contact David. Christmas will be especially hard for him, I am sure. I will get addresses for anyone who wants them. David would be my step-grandson-in-law. I know he doesn't know you but he doesn't have to know you. He will be fighting for you. God Bless Him.

Williamsburg Reunion

Sara, Betty, Dewey & Jackie, Estelle & Jerry and Billy and I attended the reunion at Mary Ruth's in Williamsburg this past weekend. I don't know about everyone else, but Billy and I had a great time.

It was fun to visit with everyone and catch up on family news.

Dewey, Jackie, Estelle & Jerry spent Saturday at the outlets shopping. The rest of us just sat around and talked. We had a pot luck supper Saturday night which was wonderful. Sue, Mike and their girls Ashlee and Haylee were there. We had a special treat Saturday night. Allison's boyfriend, Johnny St. Clair (a very good country singer/guitar player) performed for us. Allison's Cory had fun playing cards with everyone. Laurin, who is a senior at William & Mary came for supper.

Everyone but Billy and me left after breakfast Sunday. We helped celebrate Mike's birthday Sunday night with a delicious German meal prepared by Sue. We came home Monday. We had a wonderful time. Many thanks to Mary Ruth for hosting us. Next year we plan to have another reunion, this time at our house in Callaway. We hope that the other brothers and sisters will be able to attend.
