Blessings from Heaven

New Air Conditioner

In October we had a big hailstorm . The hail stones were the size of golf balls, with a 70 mile wind smashing them against our home. Our whole area was declared a disaster area. So our home owners insurance paid for a new roof, our old was due to be replaced soon. Our air conditioner on our roof was severely damaged too, all the vents were smashed flat. This had one year warrenty left on it and we needed a new one soon too.
      After many negotations with our Insurance Company, they only wanted to replace the part that was damaged, for 2500 dollars. We found air conditioning company who said they would give us a brand new air conditioner for 2500 dollars, it was a new one they had put on someones roof this week and it was the wrong brand so they gave it to us. Then the roof manufacturing company sent us the wrong tiles for the roof, so we received more expensive tiles. So have a better roof. They also replaced four whirleys on our roof that were damaged.

Our paint on our home was stripped off. So our Insurance Company paid to get our home painted. It is finally finished. It looks great.

Our backyard swing was damaged and they would pay to replace it. Ron fixed it by replacing the fabric with plywood. It works great now and we are enjoying it again.

     Also several pots which had our flowers in, were replaced. We had no windows broken, some of our neigbors did have broken windows. We had new double pane windows put in in August this year.
The paint was destroyed or stripped off our home on two sides. So the Insurance will cover it. This month we will get our home painted.

New Roof

When you pay your tithing the WINDOWS of HEAVEN truly open and pour out lots of blessings.

Snowflakes and Happy New Year

Catch a crystal snowflake
and study it's design.
When it's magnified you'll see
each lovely lacy line.
You'll find that snowflakes differ,
no two are just the same
They're created by the Maker
to glorify His name.
And thus it is with people:
God made each one unique.
He'll guide us in our daily lives
You'll find that He will guide you
tell you what you need to know.
He wants the very best for you
because He loves you so.
Author Unknown

Our Relief Society gave each of the Sisters
a Ceramic Snowflake and this wonderful poem .
Yes, we are enjoying snowflakes in the Land of the SUN this winter.

Playing the Chimes and singing Christmas Carols

The night before Christmas we spent at Daniel's home enjoying our family Christmas traditions. Where we had a visit from Santa, who gave out gifts for the little ones. They were so excited, little Max was hopping up and down, waiting for his turn to see Santa. He said the Reindeer are on the roof,Grandma. We watched the New Christmas Carol,movie with Jim Carry in it.

We dinged the chimes and sang Christmas carols.

Mindy and Family

We enjoyed the hearty soups everyone brought to eat. Then Cheesecake for dessert. Then we exchanged our family gifts.

Kristyn and Jason

Bev and Ron
We exchanged white elephant gifts.and bid our love and goodbyes before leaving. Another successful Christmas Eve with our family,who are all the most precious to us. On Christmas day we slept in, no one to wake us. Then we went to deliver fresh Rolls and Jam to our neighbors and friends. At 3 p.m. it was off to have a family dinner of Baked Ham and Potatoes and Green Bean Casserole at our Grandson's home. We had a great time visiting the family. It was fun watching our Greatgrand children playing with their new toys. The weather was wonderful a mild 65 degrees. We could have had a picnic outside. Another year has passed and we welcome the New Year. Merry Christmas to all and a Happy New Year.

A Night in Bethlehem

What a gorgeous night with a beautiful sunset, where we took a walk to Bethlehem. As we entered the gate, we signed the register, and paid our Taxes with canned food donations. We were dressed in Biblical attire. We enjoyed feasting at the market place of pita bread and spicy hummus. Then at the Galilee Grill we enjoyed barbecued chicken pieces and grilled veggies on a stick. Then off to Ruth's Orchard to enjoy some mandarin orange pieces and mixed grains salad. Stopped by Jacobs Well for some grape juice to drink. Then off to the Magi's Booth of Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh, also rock candy treats. For dessert it was Bath Sheba's Bakery, where we ate white cake with pomegranate seeds on it. The Nativity program was put on by the youth and the Primary children. They used a real donkey. It was a wonderful night the weather was warm. A good time was had by all who attended.
