Dec 14th - Sunday

It got colder than forecast last night, down into the high 30's again. We aren't supposed to have any more lows in the 30's for a week. The high was a sunny 63. 63 here seems warmer than it does in the north, must be the sun. About noon we had the windows open and the roof vents open to cool it off a little.

We attended Liberty Church this morning. It was as good as we remembered from last year. http://www.libertychurch.net/foley-campus It appears that they are still growing. My guess is 300-400 at the 9 AM service. Pastor JT had a thought provoking message leading into the Christmas Season; Jesus is inside all Christians, waiting to be "born".

There is a Ryan's buffet next door to the church so we stopped there for brunch. Then a stop at Walmart, which was across the street, for celery to make potato soup, and it was back home.

We sat outside reading for awhile, until I got hot and went back inside. Our "neighbor" lady came home from a 3 day trip and came over to meet us. She just went out for a few days with friends. Her husband is on his way back from San Francisco. He was out there to help their daughter cook some huge dinner for the daughter's church. The neighbor lady doesn't get around well and I'm guessing that was why she didn't go to San Francisco with him.

Tonight was a Soup Supper at the campground. Kathy made two crock pots full of potato soup. While she slaved away making soup I took a wonderful Sunday afternoon nap. (We brought home a partially full crock pot, so I get to enjoy potato soup left overs for a couple of days.)

There were about 30 different types of soup. The $3/person donation will go to a VFW children's home. They raised $305. The crock pot to the right of Kathy contained a venison soup. The people across the street from us made it. We had only nodded at them and said hello until the supper. Imagine our surprise when we found out that they lived in Stryker, OH. They have only lived there 7 years.

Everyone got a bowl and spoon and was turned loose to try whatever soups they wanted. We even had entertainment to start the evening.

Good night. May God bless you and yours.
