So, Jason is turning 35. Let's see. This makes the 13th time I've had the privilege of telling him "Happy Birthday." This has been a neat year. We've enjoyed travelling to Great Lakes, IL to see Jon graduate Navy Basic Training, and to South Daytona Beach, FL for vacation. Joanna had swine flu and Thomas had RSV. We "dedicated" Thomas to Christ. We sold both our nice cars and got rid of that debt. We are driving reliable and respectable paid-for vehicles. We mourned the passing of our dear friend Ed and tried to help Joanna cope with and try to understand his absence. Our kids have grown in emotionally and physically. We haven't stopped growing and learning as well. We have gardened, made scratch biscuits, canned food, and butchered meat. We are blessed with health and happiness our family and friends.
