~Jesus, the HEART of Christmas~

Yes, Christmas in August.

We had our KICKOFF for the

Singing Christmas Tree, 2009.

We had such a good time.

This is what you seen when you walked into the

Music Hall tonight.

Come closer,

This is the main food table.

This is the tree we saw as we were entering the Music Room.

As you look at the tree. Look around where the gifts are on the left of the tree.

You can see a set of white mugs. They are trimmed in gold, and they have pictures printed on them. Setting in a gold basket. I told myself that those are going to be mine. Then time came. They picked them up they were the next prize, They drew the name, they had to put the name back, then they called the next name. No for some reason they didn't work either. Then they called my name, Eileen Gerard. Yes I said they were going to be mine.

These are just some of the things, that were given away for door prizes,

They had plenty to give away.

Some of the beautiful Christmas cookies.

We went around the room to find the same.

There was so much more food then we see here.

This is just a little of what was decorated.

More decorations.

This is the choir group. Sorry off to the far right the orchrastra was setting.

The Man that put this all together.Mr. Mark Going, I have found it a real honor to be a part of the Singing Christmas Tree Program. You learn so much even spiritually as we have our practices.

If there would be anyone interested in particepating in the Singing Christmas Tree, contact Mr. Mark Going. Or Hobe Sound Bible Church and they will be able to direct you to him. May God guide you into His Glory, as the days appoach.

December 2, 4-5 time will be given later.

School Days Are Here Again

Ruth and the boys live about a half a block from us. She walked them down to the corner where Grandpa and Grandma got to see them walk to school their first day. This is Eastons very first day. He was so excited!

I did get the three top pictures.

Mommy took the rest.

Here the boys are walking east on their road, if you look ahead at the end of the road you see a white building, the cafeteria, crossing in front of it, with a tree in front of it. That is where I work.

The left of that building is a small road going in on the campus, we live right across that road at the end of the cafeteria.

Evan in his 2nd grade class room, his teacher is Mrs. Lisa Dinkle.

You will do good Evan.

Ethan's 3rd grade class room, teacher Mrs. Haynes. You will do good Ethan!

Pink & Brown

For the baby's room

Yep, our baby of 33 years.

After being out on her own for a little while,

she has come back home. We are glad to have her.

As most of you know we have just moved just recently and Becky has moved in with us.

It has been nice to have her home once again. Though she is working most of the time, so but we get to see her at different hours of the day because of her schedual. So before we moved in she decided that she wanted to paint her room.

You got it she wanted the Pink & Brown.
