Kayla - Congratulations - very exciting news!

Mom - I hope you start feeling better soon. I know it's been a huge disruption and will continue to be a difficult adjustment. We will keep praying and hope you will feel more at peace as time goes on.

We give dinner next Sunday (Nov. 2). Everyone is invited to come help and have breakfast with us!

Tim is a new Roanoke Rotary member. He donned his hat and went and cooked ham and bean soup and chile this morning at the IGA. He says "it wears a guy out standing out there in the cold stirring a pot of soup!"

We are not the best Bloggers are we!

Dear Family, I think we are not the best bloggers in the world. I check in everyday but don't write often. Maybe we could all try harder to at least say hello once in a while. Just to let all of you know that I am planning on having Thanksgiving here. I will let everyone know details soon. Most of you know Mom is not feeling as well as could be. She is having a hard time getting used to her new home. I hope she knows how much we all pray for her and love her. I'm sure it will get better as time goes on but right now she needs our support more than ever. As for news in our family, Kayla got accepted into the school of radiology at OSF today. We are very excited for her. She graduates from ICC in December and starts at OSF in January.

Love,
Eileen

I'm Back on Line

Dear Family,
They finally got my DSL running today. I hope all are doing well. Friday night, all day Saturday and Sunday afternoon we are going to have the house open for anyone to come pick out things that they want. I hope all will come for there is a lot there for the picking. Most of the furniture is gone except some end tables, lamps and the stove in the basement and the microwave.
It still doesn't seem quite like home. here yet. A lot of things are in the basement and I can't bring them up but I have the things I really need. Don't have any pictures up yet. I need Eldon and Sue to help me do some of that. Everyone is so busy with their own things and I hate to always ask for help. Love to all of you. Mom
