Christmas dinner at Church

Today was our Christmas program and dinner at Church. The last one Mrs.Thompson will be in charge of doing. She cannot leave Mr. T home alone any longer.

This picture is for Hou

A little bird-house Jerry built. It took Jerry and Andrew standing on the back of his truck to lift the house up on to that pole. There are lots of tenants living there. The picture of the little boy is "TT"(Timmie)at Church. He comes with his sister and grandma and grandpa. He was got himself up on that big rock and was waving good-by to each car as they left the parking lot. Our best farewell for the week. Love you, mom
