Phil and Brush in Carver, MA
Meanwhile Phil visited his sister and helped her brush burning project, supervised the painting of the interior of our house in Texas that necessitated him moving all the thousands of books from the shelves, all the dishes from the pantry kitchen cupboards. He also worked hard on our native plant landscaping and on improving our view of the South San Gabriel River. South San Gabriel View from the Deck

This summer Phil and Barb drove to Carver to his sister Belle’s to retrieve his Dad’s stamp collection. Crazy us took our granddaughters along on the 1000+ mile car trip and tent camped in Phil’s sister Belle’s backyard. |
We had a big Thanksgiving event (our seventh at the cabin in
North Georgia). This time we enjoyed the company of Gwyneth and
Rob and Camille, now 8, and Chloe, 4, as well as Susannah, her friend
Luis and her dog Duncan who had his first plane trip, and Rob’s
folks. Barb, Phil, Susannah, Luis and Duncan survived the 900
mile trip back to Texas by car. The dog was by far the best
traveler! <--Luis, Susannah and Duncan at our Cabin |
May the
blessings that surround the
birth
of the Christ Child be with you and your family this holiday season.
Join us as we pray
for peace on earth.
