It's Here!

It's here! Heaven for Fred, that is! We're so happy for you, Fred! My memories of Fred include a trip to the hot air balloon fest in Howell. I think he asked me about that every time I saw him after that! His hospitality when we'd tag along to Joslin Lake with Joyce and Mark, or Ron and Diane! His smile! His gentle demeanor! Like the rest of the clan, he always made us feel like part of his family! Have a good, time in heaven, Fred! Is it like soaring high in a hot air balloon?

It's here! Ready or not! The snow. When I got to school this morning there it was--settled on the roof and on the woodchips in the landscaping. Sighhhh!

They were here! Christie and Andy and Marlene and Cal (Christie's parents) came for a visit on Sunday. We had a great time, and it was great to get to know Marlene and Cal a little better. Later GG, and the McClelland's, and the Woehlke's came over so that Marlene and Cal could meet the family. Marlene and Cal, come back any time!

It's here! Ugghhh! The rest of my Master's Program! I went to Dearborn last night to meet with my advisor about what classes to take when, etc. By 6:30 last evening, I was tired and cranky, and none of it sounded good, but I'll get through it -- one class at a time!

It's here! Time to do progress reports again. Ugghhh, again!

It's here! Time to get my school day started!

It's here! God's presence and presents all the time! Have a great day!

Mark asked me if you were getting a specialist degree, and now I know it's a second masters. Your post was great reading, thanks.
