Tom Brokaw referred to him as being part of the Greatest Generation. He was an ordinary man whose highest rank was Corporal. He served in the U.S. Army 7th Division and was awarded 2 bronze stars for heroic service. He served in 4 major invasions as part of the 184th Infantry, Co M, fought on the Pacific Islands. His first invasions was Kiska, Aleutian Islands. The 2nd invasion was Kwajalein, Marshall Islands. The 3rd Invasion was Leyte Island, Philippine Islands and the 4th was at Okinawa. I knew this Corporal as Daddy. Rest in peace my heroic Daddy. Your baby girl loves you! Daddy 1921-2009.

Santa's of the World

Ump-teen years ago when we sold or gave away our belongings to respond to the call as overseas missionaries, one of the things that I really didn't want to let go of was my "Santa's of the world". However................ we had to let them go. Now these Santa's were of no material value. Matter fact, most of them came from the dollar store.......... The other day as a girlfriend was cleaning out her garage for a rummage sale, she offered me a box of "Santa's of the world". I began to cry cause I knew that everything that I've given up twice, that God has given back to me in greater measure. These Santa's of the world are a bit upscale from ones from the dollar store! They are better than the original one's that I had owned.... Hey guys, it's just stuff.....we can always get more stuff......and if God says go, I'm willing to give it all up again! Until them.........

The Wonders of Miracle Grow

Not only do we get to pray together, but

we get to enjoy some pretty incredible fellowship with this missionary family! As you can see, they too enjoy a good laugh and know know to relax and be real! Oh, by the way, note my hair color........it's natural! I've been tempted to color my hair using a color similar to Hungarian red! My only hesitation is that once you start coloring........it's like shaving the legs......you have to continue.....

Good Fishing

Photos of the rez and the river that is near our

home. We hear there is some good fishing! The

it's always a joy to view the beautiful water as we drive by!

Daniel - Crossing the Mighty Mississippi

I had the opportunity to spend the day with Daniel

and show him around our beautiful green state. We had

fun going through the military park @ Vicksburg and seeing the sites of the river city.
