Joe's Aunt Carlene and Uncle Douglas

We got a call from Carlene saying she was in Paris

and would like to visit with us. So Wednesday night

we went to Paris after work to meet Carlene and Douglas.

Joe didn't remember meeting them before, all they could

see was the little 4 year old boy they remembered.

They filled us in on a lot of things about Joe's life in Kentucky.

Where he lived, who he lived with, etc. It's really nice to finally

know something about your family.

We had a really nice visit. Thank you Carlene and Douglas for

calling. Your visit was a true blessing.

Just some Thanksgiving pictures

Thanksgiving is always fun when cousins come
to visit. Noah and Jesse.


Kristyn learning Grandma Martha's secret dressing
recipe.


Julie, Noah, Kendra and Kristyn. The Thompsons
came from Iowa.

Rue Ann came from Ohio.

Kristyn, Jeri and Aunt Jan

Uncle Kenny, Aunt Jan and Rue Ann came down
for a short visit before lunch. They were having lunch
at Rusty and Jill's. It was sure good to see them.

Cooking the turkey's. Dad has been deep fat frying
our turkey's last year and again this year since it
was such a hit.

I didn't get picturs of everyone that was here but we
really enjoyed the family time.

Grandma's Angels

After I took their picture Kristyn wanted to take mine.

2007 Womens Retreat

November 17th was the Antioch Church's annual Womens Retreat.
Decorations compliments of Prudy and Emily Wynn.

Started out with a light breakfast at around 9am. Some good fellowship and lots of laughs.

Our speaker was Linda Lewis. She is a riot. Great message on the harvest and spreading seeds.
Then lunch was served. Kay Cox did a great job on the meal.

Next was crafts. This year we made holiday wreaths. Had a choice of fall or Christmas. We even had a choice of "WEDDING".
See the rock on Emily's hand. Her wedding is in June and they made their wreaths for centerpieces. Emily's aunt, the wedding flower lady, is making Dorothy Tibbs wreath.

Linda Richards making a Christmas wreath.



The Wedding wreaths.

Patty talking with her design team about her wreath. And now the finished product.

Teamwork!!!!

Cindy and her Christmas Bling.




Some of the finished products. I think I was the only one
to make a fall wreath.

Trimming the Tree

Joe wanted to get the tree down by our bedroom window.
Our son in law made the arraingments to get the tree truck.


After they were done Kristyn wanted to take a ride.
They went "way up high". They let her lok into the upstairs
window.

THE U IN JESUS

Before U were thought of or time had begun, God stuck U in the name of His Son.

And each time U pray, you'll see it's true,You can't spell out JesUs and not include U.

You're a pretty big part of His wonderful name, For U, He was born; that's why He came.

And His great love for U is the reason He died. It even takes U to spell crUcified.

Isn't it thrilling and splendidly grand He rose from the dead, with U in His plan?

The stones split away, the gold trUmpet blew, and this word resUrrection is spelled with a U.

When JesUs left earth at His upward ascension, He felt there was one thing He just had to mention "Go into the world and tell them it's true That I love them all - Just like I love U.

" So many great people are spelled with a U, Don't they have a right to know JesUs too?

It all depends now on what U will do, He'd like them to know, But it all starts with U.
