We found out that our pastor is going to leave as of Nov 1. He will stay until we find a new pastore if the Deacons ok that. We are praying he will be able to stay until the new pastor comes. We are very sad about this pastor leaving as in the 27 years of attenting this church this is the first pastor & his wife that we got to be friends with. Also he is very very fundamental & preaches right from the Bible. We have been much more active in the church from their encouragement. they will be sadly missed by us & many others in the church.

Our lastest "get done" project is to take down part of the barn we had for our goats & our daugher's horse. The roof had been getting really bad & we needed to do something for several years but have run out of time. Finally it got to the point that we HAD to do something. We have a ways to go yet before we are all done but we have it started now. The starting is the hard part.

At our last reenactment two of our granddaugthers watched me knit awhile & wanted to "knit" too. So I let them borrow my spare yarn.

We do Civil War Reenacting. This is our tenth year doing it. Now we don't do as many as we used to but we still do at least one a year. This is our tent & our daughter's tent set up together with the flies together for a bigger "living room" area. We cook our meals over an open fire in cast iron pots.
