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.
0 Comment » 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.
This year I directed once again a drive through nativity with several changes and modifications. We also added an indoor marketplace that had hands on activities for all ages. It was two very cold and exciting evenings as cars drove through from all parts of the Hudson Valley and many came indoors for the activities. Special thanks to a staff of over fifty that gave this great gift to our community once again.
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).

Wes and I got to visit our fourth grandchild Grace Alethea who was born Aug. 1.
My folks (great grandparents) came with us also.
She is a beautiful girl and has a wonderful big brother.
