Tim is in Haiti on a Mission trip with a group from Spring Arbor, Michigan.. He really was looking forward to going in spite of the epidemic of cholera.... praying they will use common sense and God will protect them.. He packed 4 suitcases... only bringing one back.... so he took a lot of donated clothes and he cleaned out his closet..also candy and gum.. They are going to a Christian school.. We had a great trip to Tn, Wi and Mi a few weeks back but glad to get back home and to sunny Florida... The weather has been 85* and I still swim every day !!! Heard they had fierce winds in the north and a lot of people lost electricity. I anticipate Thanksgiving with company from Ca. but at the present I am addressing our Christmas cards and listening to our Christmas CD's... My sister Donna and I are presenting trying a diet so even thought she is way up in Michigan... we call each other every day to compare out food journals.. It has helped somewhat. What with the holidays coming... Enjoying all your blogs and wishing you a great day !
