Lindsay's First day of Kindergarten

Monday, August 25, 2008 was Lindsay's first day of Kindergarten! She's been waiting a long time for this day. When she was staying with us this past summer, she told me that she is upset every morning she gets up and she still isn't old enough to go to school.

So, Monday she got up and she was finally old enough!

Here's wishing you lots of good days (& years) ahead of you!

HHH

Laronda, Bill, Connie and I rode the 25 mile stretch in the

HHH race on Saturday. I wasn't sure if I was going to make it when I woke up after hearing my doorbell ring at 5:22 am. My alarm was supposed to go off at 4:50 am and it didn't! So, needless to say, I was a little frustrated, forgot my blood pressure meds and dropped my shoe as I was running out the door.

But, we made it with lots of time to spare. I took this picture of Laronda and I with my cel phone. Should have let Bill of Connie take it, because it's kind of shaky.

Here is one of Bill and Connie. I should have gotten on the other side, but didn't. Anyway...

We had lots of fun. It was a nice, mostly flat ride. Not many hills. Laronda wants to do the 50 mile next year. We'll see. Good Lord willing and the creek don't rise! And we get in lots of practice between now and then....

I'll get some of the pics Laronda took and add them later.

I guess the best part (besides the finish line) was going through Sheppard Airforce Base. After the rest stop, (5 miles from the finish line) cadets lined the street and cheered and clapped and inspired us to ride on! Connie told Dickie if he'd do that every morning, she'd get up and fix him breakfast, but I don't see how he's going to get those cadets to come to Jacksboro and do that!

This is the last video......or not

This video contains a lot of last events. Our last days for
our Mission trip, 2008. Our last morning devotional,
our last VBS classes, last Ladies classes, our last shopping,
our last hugs, last tears.

It also includes the first of hopefully many teen campaigns
at the just finished church in La Sosa.

I've used the music of Acappella. Their web site is
The Acappella Company. They have three Spanish
albums, "Caminando En La Luz", "Acappella En Espanol",
and "Voces". I must say that "Voces" is my favorite!

I thought this would be the last video, but I now have pictures
from Michael Lechuga. He is an excellent photographer and
I couldn't leave his pics out! Thanks to everyone for their prayers.
Thank You God for allowing us to go on this special trip.
