We are having Indian Summer, temperature was 83 today. The trees are turning such beautiful colors and, in spite of the heat, the feeling of Fall, with winter, approaching is in the air. The sky was so clear and shown with the glory of God all over it. I am thankful for such beauty that seems to wrap itself around one with such love and joy. Thank you God, only you could do that. Be sure to view our tree at the very end of my blog.
Richmond Hill is the sub-division we live in. It is a lovely community and everyone is so friendly and neighborly. We walked out the front door a little while ago (9 p.m.) and you would have thought there was a street fair going on. There were so many people out walking, visiting, playing basketball in their driveways, laughing and enjoying the wonderful evening. It is truly a home-town feeling. Life is good and I am thankful.
I haven't said much about the family, however, it is time for me to share about our children. Max's son Jim and his family (Nancy and daughter Chris) have recently (June of this year) moved to Texas. Jim is Max's only child and they have been so close. It is wonderful to observe this Father and Son relationship. Jim is a really thoughtful son and Max is an excellent father. Jim and Nancy were both in the service. Jim retired after twenty-two and a half years. He retired as First Sargent. Nancy worked on helicopters and when she was expecting Christine, she also exited the army. Christine is 18 years old and a great gal. She loves animals and has had many pets. Today they purchased two goats which are pregnant and will give birth in December. We plan to spend Christmas with them this year. We will get to see those new little 'kids'. Jim is an auditor for a large finance company and his territory is South and East Texas, as well as some of Oklahoma. Nancy is retired and she and Chris take care of the home while Jim travels most all week.
I will share more about family next time.
I received my absentee Ballot today and I will mail it on Monday. I will not be in the area on November 4th. I feel it is such a responsibility to cast a vote. I do not take it for granted and trust God to help me choose all the right people because I know my vote counts.
I visited with a Barbara last evening and enjoyed the time so much. She has decorated her apartment just beautifully. I am quite sure there isn't another apartment such as hers. It is fun to go there.
I need to say, "Good-bye" for tonight and I look forward to talking with you again tomorrow or Monday. May God bless you each one.
