What a difference a team makes!!

 Jack and Vince busy at my new (old) place!! Most of the electrical problems I was having - totally solved! Lots of new fixtures in place!
 The "chair contest" 2 kinds of Ikea chairs - Please guys - promise me you will at least "glance" at the directions! - No promises but the chairs are nice and they work!
 Deb sorting out the light bulbs - how many different bases did we have - I think 3 - then the bulb varieties - endless!
 Tonya in the kitchen with Bethany - keeping us well stocked with munchies.
 Marlow and Jim catching up with ministry life
 Diedre, encouraging us on!
 Jack - adding a new beam to the loft, and sanding, and varnishing
What a blessing this team was to me personally - I sure felt their love and care!! Pictures can not express adequately all they did. They dealt with the electrical problems, rewired, hung new, replaced old,  added a dimmer light to living room ceiling fixture (bliss!!) Secured connections into the wall, got electric to connections that I never had plus changed bulbs so we have light going into the basement - a precarious job in itself!  The ladies all shopped with purpose for me :-) and we made/hung curtains in the dining room (never had covered that window before) and got beautiful new fabric to cover openings to closet and linen shelf. Tonya worked non-stop to get the curtains made & hung before the ladies meeting. Deb & Diedre got the house picked up and the table ready just in time. Photos to follow.

February 4,5 Alpha Holy Spirit Retreat Hollókö, Hungary

Image
Last Friday I traveled to Hollókö, Hungary to meet with my Hungarian friend. Nora. Nora is leading her second Alpha Course in her village. From there we traveled to another village for an overnight retreat.  10 ladies and some children attended. The Holy Spirit was so faithful to demonstrate Himself in our midst giving encouraging words as we prayed together,  refilling some and baptizing some for the first time.  It was a very precious time. If God lays it on your heart please be praying for these ladies. The 10 ladies were from 6 different villages in Nograd county (and me,too). In none of the villages are living churches but most of these ladies are "keys" to living prayer groups. Nora has been working in one of the villages and is now in the process of setting up a small retreat center. After our weekend she took me there to pray. She and her husband were able to acquire a small "prayer" house, which was once a Baptist prayer house which is next to a home they...

We had a really good night last night - kind of...

Image
My brother Jack and his wife Debby just arrived back from Florida where Jack was trying to hide out from having to face a "big" birthday. So my sister Kathi and I decorated his house to welcome him home - and left him a card that said "You can run, but you can't hide! :-). Some of you know Jack by his more common name "No rules for kids, Uncle Jack". Well, mom really enjoyed visiting with Jack and Debby and as a result she stayed up until 10.30. Most nights she can only sleep for about 5 hours tops and even then gets up a number of times. That means I get up with her :-). Night before last that was at 1.30, 4, 6 and 7!! So when this morning I realised I had been able to sleep through the night I was more concerned than relieved. I checked my monitor and yes it was working and finally turned on the light to check and see if mom was ...alive. Do you remember the first night your baby slept all the way through to morning? You awake with a start and run in...

Chocolate chip cookies

Image
My mom who was a very good cook and baker, was famous for her chocolate chip cookies. Since she can no longer make them I took it upon myself to "try" to perfect the recipe. This is my latest attempt. (Last weeks were enjoyable but not in the running) Two brothers independently rated them at 8.5 out of 10 - 10 of course would be just like moms. This score could even climb to 9 depending on how they taste frozen. Mom often baked at night and would leave "some" out on a plate and the rest hidden in the freezer so they would last longer. Of course we figured that out pretty quickly and now prefer them frozen. You may like yours golden and crispy but there is a secret ingredient in these and a way to bake them that makes them soft and oh so yummy!!
