We think of you and pray for you often. <BR/><BR/>Your blog is fantastic. When you come back, I'm going to have to hire Nicki as my tech person. I can't even post a photo, much less a video!<BR/><BR/>We enjoy seeing what you're up to. The White Rhino was a great picture! <BR/><BR/>Everyone missed you at the Christmas party at our house. The 'Chinese Auction' went on forever, with Amanda B. the big winner of a fuzzy robe, and Otis going home with a folding recliner that was much contested. If we weren't a Baptist Sunday School group, and someone were drinking, we'd have had a police cruiser outside 590 Tamassee Knob Road for all the swaps, counter swaps and revenge swaps.<BR/><BR/>Things here are fine. The weather is SC standard, swinging from 15 degree days to 65 degree days. One morning the well froze, the next day I have a swarm of ladybugs in the kitchen and in my dinner.<BR/><BR/>Elysa says hi to Kelsey! <BR/><BR/>Homeschooling gets more fun and easier with time; we promise. <BR/><BR/>I'll close with a quote from an album that's playing right now with Aboriginee Music: 'Keep your face to the sunshine and you will not see the shadows.'<BR/><BR/>Love and prayers. God bless you big today!<BR/><BR/>Ed, Jan, Sam, Seth, Elijah and ElysaEdwinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08391370133092836925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4439521810047711637.post-49095052114660850362008-01-09T06:30:00.000-08:002008-01-09T06:30:00.000-08:00Hey Cooks! <BR/><BR/>Happy New Year! We're thinking of you and praying for you. Your blog is great. When you come home, I'm going to have to hire Nicki to be my tech support. I can't load a picture, much less a video! <BR/><BR/>You were missed at the Christmas party at our house. The 'Chinese Gift Exchange' went on forever, with Amanda the big winner of a fuzzy robe. Otis Haney left with a folding chair recliner that was also hotly contested. No blood was shed. But if we weren't Baptists and someone had been drinking, well let's just say there would have been a police cruiser at 590 Tamassee Knob Road.<BR/><BR/>Elysa says hello to Kelsey. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for all you're doing, and for sharing your pictures and stories with us. If you need anything, let us know.<BR/><BR/>Ed, Jan, Sam, Seth, Elijah and Elysa LeapEdwinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08391370133092836925noreply@blogger.com
