Time has certainly flow by since we last wrote anything and before it flies completely by I thought it would be good to wish all of you a very blessed Christmas. What joy it was for those shepherds to have their lives invaded by the Angelic host shouting that Christ was born and what joy it is for us to know Him who was unknown for 1000s of years.
I'm writing this to you because Jackie is busy at work with her class of 3-year-olds (God have mercy on her) and I'm once again unemployed. I was again laid off but this time it was not such a shock. I had 2 job offers before I had to leave my last job so I accepted the one I think will be best. Problem is it doesn't start until the end of January. Oh well, guess I'm on funemployment! That's a new term I heard. I'm not sure what it means but it sounds cool.
We continue to live here in Saint Augustine, FL with Leah and our 3 grandsons. It's a bit crowded but we dare not complain with so rich and loving as our Father is and in the way He cares for us. Last night we were putting up the Christmas trees and I took a few photos so here they are...
That would be Leah to the left and Elijah below on the right.
He was having a good time looking at our collection of decorations that have been following us around
for the last 37 years. Many are gifts from friends like you and always bring back good memories when we get them out.Jackie is down there working on the tree too and when it got too late to finish we decided that it would have to wait until another evening to get finished. It's always fun.
The rest of the family eluded the camera so I'll move back to Thanksgiving and show you the rest of us. We went over to
Orlando and had our meal together with Nathan and his fiancee, Becka. They plan on getting married next October in Italy. Sounds like a great excuse for Jackie and I to get out again. We'll have to see how that all comes together next year. Don't you wish money wasn't something that always had to be figured in to the adventure equation?So here's a couple of photos from over at Nathan's place.
Can you see Nathan? That yellow shirt kind of screams for attention and Becka, on his left grabs your eye too. Zach is on the far left and is our oldest grandson. He's the computer genius of the family and writes his own computer games. Jake is the middle man and was at his football game. Leah is always running him to a practice or game of some sort. I don't know how she keeps up, but then I'm not in my 30s like she is. Oh, how the time does fly.
There's Jake now, the student of the year. Besides being a sporty guy he also does OK with his academics. He has already won a 100% scholarship to any State school in Florida. That's one paid for and two to go. Ha.
Thanks to all of you for your friendship. We'll look forward to hearing your Christmas news too. Much love to all...
Bob and Jackie
