Highway News

…and two surprises

Monday, December 14

 

 

We had new volunteer helpers for labeling the almost 3,000 individual Highway News – Kathy Diffenderfer (right) and her two youngest boys, Jason (left), and Joshua (next to Kathy). Harold and Lois Keller have been regular helpers since we began mailing these in January.

 

 

If you care to read this issue, go to www.transportforchrist.org/highway and click on the January 2010 issue. The cover photo is one I took in April 2008 when we were in a snow blizzard in Mitchell, South Dakota.

After we finished at 11:00 a.m., they went home and I processed a newsletter for mailing.

 

 

In the late afternoon we were surprised by a visit from our niece Crystal and their daughter Peyton. Crystal is the daughter of Cerwin’s brother Elvin.

I was puzzled that she was carrying a container of food.

 

 

She loves cooking, and is trying to get a home business (preparing meals) started, so our daughter Deb ordered three meals for us this week – knowing that this was an extra busy time for me.  (Wasn’t that nice?) This meal was a delicious green bean and chicken dish. The other two meals will arrive on Wednesday.

 

 

Peyton slept through our short visit.

 

 

About half-an-hour later, our nephew Jon, his wife, Jen, and their three children (from Minnesota) stopped in for a visit. Jon is the youngest son of Cerwin’s sister Doris. Jen’s family is from this area, so we are blessed with visits from them about once a year.  Andre is with Jon, Jen is holding Dietrich, and Alisha is sleeping in the car.

 

 

They gave us a family photo, which I decided to post so you can see Alisha.

I love productive days that are full of pleasant surprises.
