Signs of Interest!!!

How inspirational is it?  

Sometimes signs can make you smile :)

You definitely can not make this neighbor angry!!
If you forget, it's not an oops:(

Our Adventures through the Archives in Oxford!!

< Bishop Grote is checking out archival material at Rhode's House.


The day spend with the Grotes was enjoyable, especially seeing the letter dated back to  David Livingstone's day.   










Below, Steve and Bishop get a first hand look at Roland Allen's archival material.  

Original copy of letter written by David Livingston

Lucy McCann, the Archivist, gave a tour of the Archives in Rhodes House.
Here she is showing old manuscripts that have been stored for many years.

THANKSGIVING IN ARIZONA

From left to right- Steven, Steve, Seth, Mike, Josh & Jeff.

Here are the men, patiently waiting for the Thanksgiving meal.  

Nancy is performing her traditional olives
on the fingers.  We found out, it is also
Katilyn's tradition too!!

Getting ready to eat the feast  

 We were able to relax and also let the children play.  Our biggest problem was the snacking before the big meal:(

After our feast, we walked over to the Cotters for
dessert.  The ambiance with the fire outside made it
enjoyable

A few days after Thanksgiving, Steve and I
had the privilege to help his mom put up her
Christmas tree.

SEDONA, ARIZONA 
Seth and Katilyn drove up to Sedona with us for a few days.  With their time off from school, it was perfect for us to check out the "cold" sights of Sedona.  To the right, is a park we stopped at.  The red rocks with the snow on the ground made for a beautiful and picturesque sight. 

Steve & Sue at Los Abrigados

We always enjoy stopping by Los Abrigados for the Fantasy of Lights.
