In June, my dad received his high school diploma as a veteran at 80 years of age. He was supposed to walk through the line with all the high school students from Kingston, but ended up in the hospital. So, he received it at the school board meeting. Lots of his friends and family came for the occasion.
Afterwards, he got free ice cream for all of us at a local establishment by showing the man his diploma.
I am so proud of him that he cared enough to do all the application and talk to the right people to see it happen.
I was disappointed that he did not want anything in the newspaper about it. So, I’m telling you all!!!

We were blessed to once again attend General Conference of the Wesleyan Church this time in Orlando. Joann Lyon was elected the new General Superintendant. I have attached a few of my photos from the weeks events.
I have uploaded all my photos from Festival of Missions at picasaweb.google.com/shokanwesleyan/GeneralConferenceOfTheWesleyanChurch08
Please enjoy them!

We were able to spend time with our growing families over the holidays. Though many of us were sick with the colds going around we had a wonderful time together. Enjoy the photos. We celebrated Wolfgang’s 80th birthday (Jan 31st) a few weeks early.

It was a real joy to have the kids here for the holiday. We had two real snow storms and so our grandkids and the three dogs got a real taste of snow. At first they really didn’t like it at all. But here is a photo that shows that they really learned to enjoy the snow.

I was yard saling and bought a set of dishes. I thought they would be a good item to sell on ebay. But it seems that they are very rare. Any one out there have any interest in these lovely dishes? Pattern is Virginia #7622 of Wentworth China made in Japan. They have a very lovely weave pattern in the whole plate and have silver trim.

Check out the snippet above. Who are these roughnecks??? Please leave a comment.
One of my major projects of late has been trying to go through old movies from the 50’s to see if they are worth putting to a DVD. Because there are so many, I decided I had to view them all, etc. etc. I ended up so far with 119 snippets that I videod from the screen to my digital camera. They capture the essence of what I want to preserve for the family. So, now I have downloaded them to my computer. Next step will be to burn them to DVD. That I have to figure out yet. So, keep posted.

Two of my favorite events at church this last year were our drive through living nativity 2006 (last December)
and our Vacation Bible School program this summer “Galilee by the Sea” - Group Publishing.
We have had the Living Nativity for five years. We started out with only three scenes. This past years’ was incredible as we had a staff of over 50 people and lots of live animals. We had five sets and traveling shepherds, wisemen and village people. The weather was perfect too!! (for the mountains of NY)

I am happy to answer any questions you might have on doing the same programs in your local church.

One of my favorite things is playing in quartets and trios. We get to do this mostly for weddings.
I have been able to get around the Hudson Valley and see many resorts that I never knew were around and see the inside of many churches. It has also been a great experience seeing different religious ceremonies (and some not so).

I am so proud of him that he cared enough to do all the application and talk to the right people to see it happen.
