What a way to begin the New Year!!!!

Well, we are home from sunny Fla. and I have to admit, it's good to be home.
Three weeks is a long time to be away. Mom said, not for her. She wished she did not have to come back. I'm ready to begin some sort of a routine for 08, just not sure what that will be.
We really did have an awesome time and Victor say's he would love to make this a Christmas tradition. I think all of the kids are in for it, right guys?
I did start out the New Year in a good way, we bought me a new car! We really did need more space than what I have. We went from my small convertible to a Nissan Armanda, SUV. The change at the gas pump was not a good one to say the least.
I'm going again this Sunday to Fla. and then off to Vegas with Victor for the big presentation at the convention where they, BBA, will receive the National Award they won on the big project in Daytona. Should be a good time. We will leave Vegas and fly back to New Smyrna and then drive the "Big Red Car" as lil Victor calls it, home to Jeff. Looking forward to that. Lots of room!
Well, I'm going to attempt to send some pix, especially of baby Abigail for all to see how well she is doing after her problem with the RSV.. I think the Fla. sun did her good too.
Love to all...Mamo

The Loss of a dear friend.

On July 3 a dear, dear friend of ours, Chips Cronen returned to Heaven. He will be missed. We pray and ask for prayers for his wife Barbra and sons.
I came across this scripture that seems to be appropriate for Chips, it reads from Ephesians 6: 16-18
"At all times carry faith as a shield; for with it you will be able to put out all the burning arrows shot by the evil one. And accepting salvation as a helmet, and the word of God as the sword which the Spirit gives you. Do all this in prayer, asking for God's help. Pray on every occassion, as the Spirit leads. For this reason keep alert and never give up; pray always for God's people."

This is just one thought that gives "light" to the life of Chips Cronen. He was truly a prayer warrior. I've counted on his prayers many times and will continue to do so..
