Latest projects

I wanted to show you all what I have been stitching of late. A friend of our daughter asked to have an R2D2 hat knitted so I was given the project. While knitting that our granddaughters watched & asked if I was going to knit them a hat. I then remembered I had a pattern for a cute kids hat with either a lady bug or a bumble bee. Since we live in the Greenville school district & their mascot is a yellow jacket & their colors are yellow & purple it was decided the hat should be of those colors. Here are pictures of both. I will be making hats for the other grandkids as soon as I know the colors they want. I just realized I forgot the bee's atenna. I will add that yet.

Last week we went on a much dreamed of cruise. We had an offer of a free one so took it. We did have to upgrade a bit in order for us to be able to do it as I needed a stateroom with a view or I would have a hard time not feeling trapped. It was fun but very tiring as there is way too much to do aboard ship.

In around all the dentist appointments we were blessed with a new grandson. William Nathaniel was born on Nov 16th. We was quite a bit smaller than his two big sisters. He weigh in at 6 pounds & 13 ounces & 20 inches long. This is a picture of him at birth. He will be 4 weeks old tomorrow.

Dentist trips

We hadn't been to the dentist in awhile & decided before we were going to be away from home for a week we had best get a couple dential things taken care of. We made appointments for regular cleanings. Found out we each had 3 teeth that needed fillings, mine were all on one side so one more appointment would take care of it. Ed's were on two sides & the dentist didn't want to numb both sides. So he had to go in twice. When I went in to get my 3 fillings the dentist informed me that one was too bad & would need to be pulled. Since he doesn't do that I had to make an appointment with a different dentist. BTW I was able to get the two fillings with out being numbed. A week later I had the tooth pulled, two days before Thanksgiving. About an hour after the tooth was pulled my face started to show signs of bruising. I had many people ask what was on my face. So I informed them I had a tooth pulled. The day after Thanksgiving another piece broke off the one tooth I just had filled so I had to go back again for a filling. There were two girls maybe ages 8 & 10. They both looked at me. I felt like saying a dentist did this to me but I figured I shouldn't scare them. We have sent nearly $1000 in dentist bills in the month of Nov. I hope that we don't have to go back to the dentist that much again.

It has been a long time since I added anything & have a lot to "tell" too. First off here is the logo for our new church. Then some GREAT news on the new church is that our Pastor has been looking for possible location for a building site. Sort of dreaming as we can't afford to buy land now. But he found a piece on the corner of M57/14 Mile Rd & Shout. He called on it just to find out more info. The guy wanted to meet with Pastor so he did. Long story short the guy ended up giving our 3 acres for free. Isn't that a wonderful act of God? Mr Brill (from H2Oasis) had bought this land awhile back with hope that a church would be buildt there. He offered it to his precent church they didn't want to build there. :) That too was God's doing so now many years later we could get it for our church. We do need to find a different place to meet until we can build as our township says we can't legally meet where we are now. But they aren't saying we have to get out right now. So we are praying & asking God to lead us to a place to meet or some how be able to build sooner than we think we can, but with God all things are possible, so maybe we can just build & move in to our own building.
