END OF FEB. MOOSINGS....

Good Morning folks,

The temperature this morning is -1°, and we are thankful for that!   Last week, the temperatures went as high as 38°, and we had rain.  As heavenly as that sounds, and it was wonderful, it is much too early for such awesome temperatures.  Everything started melting and getting sloppy; the road to the logger’s worksite (really Whitestone’s road) went out.  The loggers were unable to do their work and there was concern about how to get their equipment out of the work site.  Now, things are happily back to as they should be for the end of February temperatures. 

 Here’s the link to Shane Williamson’s family. .  http://www.youcaring.com/medical-fundraiser/support-shane-williamson-family-after-loss-to-cancer/311331/update/282957  Shane is the 3 year old grandson of Paul and Nancy Baltrum (their daughter Rachel's son - he passed away after a 3 year battle with an aggresive form of cancer). Thank you for looking at this.

We held Marilyn’s memorial on Sunday.  We had few guests since that was the morning we woke up to rain on ice.  It was a small family gathering that I think Sis Marilyn would’ve appreciated.  Our guests were Don and Liz Werhonig, David and Kim Johnson, Sue Brown, Seth and Ammy, Dora Lopez, Becky Riche, and maybe someone else.  Thomas officiated, Bill Casey spoke and read a poem, as did Griselda, Brad and Becky, Rich and Dora sang – if anyone wants a link to hear that, I’ll happily pass it along),then we had a brunch.

Jessy Geyer started her year with Michael Sowers last week (maybe the 17^th).  Then a few days later, Mike had to return to Canada for a couple of months.  Jessy still seems to be floating on a cloud of happiness. 

Carolyn is still under the weather with her fractured foot and flu problems.  Hopefully, we will glimpse her face again soon.

Kathryn and John’s wedding is a few short weeks away – April 4^th.  They've been diligently preparing their home in order for it to be ready for themselves but also for John’s family to stay there when they come to the wedding. 

Joe Allison is visiting for a couple of days or weeks.  Kelsey will be out on weekends when she can get away from work.

Bonnie went to Texas for ten days or so.  I guess Jim didn't behave; he got left behind.  :)

Bro Dan Riccardelli preaches on Sunday morning, but he’s coming on Saturday night.  We will have a sing along and dessert time with him at the tabernacle. 

Sadly, Rob's special ed teacher from the AGSD is not being retained by the district,  as his teacher. So we will be sad to see her go, she is a real spark plug and Rob likes her - which is important - last week she came out and they both made choc chip cookies in the Tab. Funny thing (and I'm certainly NOT a cookie baker), too much butter was used - or so say the experts - and Rob's final comment was "they are pancake cookies" ...lol..anyway fun was had and cookies were consumed.

Ani continues to enjoy her Panola College activities and courses. She keeps quite busy. Icy weather (amazing for TX!) has stranded students either at the college or at their homes...but she is happy. The college newspaper featured her in one of its recent issues. Ani is an Art major with a Choral Music minor.

Still trying to get on to the ski trail, although the warmer weather has made it rather slushy.

SUN IS OUT! YAAAIIIII

Have a great day, and a wonderful weekend.
