Monday Evening, December 7

We were invited to see this movie – free of charge – because Community Services Group (CSG) staff were blessed by someone who paid for and invited them to bring their residents and families to the theater. The CSG group had the entire “Peanuts” theatre to ourselves.

Jere & Kristen’s family: Allie, Josh, Jana, Gregg, Jere, Jared, Kristen, Jesse, and Ian.

Gregg was legally adopted by Jere, Kristen, and their family many years ago, so there would be someone to care for him when his parents were gone (both died several years ago). Did you know we have a seventy-year-old grandson?

CSG cares for Gregg on a daily basis, but Jere and Kristen see him frequently and are blessed to know that he enjoys life in his group home.

It was fun to see the Peanuts gang on the big screen.

It was the usual characters with the usual personalities and problems.

Charlie Brown tried to impress the pretty red-head…

…and went to Lucy with his problems.

After many attempts to meet the red haired girl, they came face to face.

She assured him that he was not an embarrassment to her…

…but of great value.

A very happy Charlie Brown

His supportive friends

Thanks, Jere and Kristen, for inviting us to join the CSG crew. (I think there were about 100 of us.)

It was a great Christmas gift to these special needs people, their caregivers and families.
