The boys and Meg

Thanksgiving day at my sister in laws house. They were bowling on the Nintendo Wii game and stopped so I could take this picture of the three of them. From left to right, Meg ( Adam's girlfriend she's a sweetheart and so cute) Adam and Josh.

I tried one time to bowl but didn't quite get the hang of the control but really wasn't in the mood either, oh well they had fun.

The end

You decide

• A wonderful church


• A wonderful job, a loving boss, the most amazing facility team on the planet, and of course the hallway girls at work.


• Pippi my blind and deaf wiener dog


• Anytime fitness and the girls that cheer me on (especially you Jeanna! )

• All the comforts of home

What are you thankful for?

The Grand Canyon

Just a few pictures of the Grand Canyon.

Spectacular!!

Guess who else went to Vegas?

That's right, I was standing in line at the check in counter at the airline when I turned around and who did I see but our one and only Kathy Seller and her husband Tom, on the same plane no less. I squealed with delight, took their picture and never saw them again. Hope they had a great time.

Gadgets

I was so sad this morning when I could not get my IPod to shut off, I love my IPod, it is my hiding place, it is were I connect and think, so needless to say when it doesn't turn off well, it runs the battery down. I plugged it in to charge it when I got home from the gym this morning thinking maybe that would help but no luck, so I decided to log onto Apple and browse for some support. I found help and it walked me through the steps to reset the thing, I was delighted.

A different kind of screen saver .......

If anyone knows me they know I am always cold. So this morning Bob and I went to workout and then we went to Panera for breakfast ( big surprise there) anyway, when we got there I spotted an empty table by the fireplace so I told Bob I was going to go grab it. Well just having a table by the fireplace wasn't good enough for me so while Bob sat in a chair at the table like a normal person I chose to sit right on the ledge of the fireplace. I settled in quit nicely, I finished my bagel and relaxed against the screen of the fireplace and was toasty warm. Seriously I stayed there until I needed to use the restroom and when I started to get up I thought my hoodie jacket was hooked onto something because I could pull it away, nope it wasn't caught on anything, it was actually melting onto the fireplace screen. I have the screen marks on my jacket to prove it. So silly.

Team retreat

Here are some pics of the great Campus Operations team at Granger Community Church enjoying an overnight stay in Union Pier Michigan. We celebrated who we are and what we have accomplished this year for ministry at Granger. What a joy and privilege to serve along side all these fine peeps.
We hung out all evening in one cottage ( we rented 5) eating, playing cards, eating, working on a very complicated puzzle and eating some more until about 12:00pm midnight. The next morning a few of us got up and went for a brisk walk before the sun came up. Some created and enjoyed a large breakfast, some chose to sleep in a bit,and some relaxed in a hot tub, then again we all congregated to one cottage and worked on the puzzle, watched TV and drank coffee right up until it was time to check out. Then we headed to New Buffalo were my husband Bob (who also works at Granger and has the same boss as me) joined the team for some shopping and lunch, and of course we ended the day with ice cream. I believe we all had a wonderful retreat. I know I did. One more thing, I did not get a picture of Tom, who was also there but he had to leave for a few hours and take the shuttle back to church because the other shuttle broke down and a ministry needed a shuttle for Saturday so off he went back to Granger to drop off the shuttle and get his vehicle and come back, he did this and never complained or batted an eye, Tom has such a great heart.
