Yesterday, January 31st, we drove down to my great niece's to visit. Wow, have the kids sure grown since we visit them last. I need to get in to the pictures to see when that was. It was a great time and the kids fixed dinner for all of us. Oh yes, forgot to mention that the two families have ten kids between them!!

| New bridge built by Jeff since we visited last. |
The bridge is a new addition after they leveled a lot of the land. Last time they used a ladder stretched out across to try to get an alligator count. They knew that they needed to have them taken away. When I asked if they still had the alligators, she said, "Just babies".
Becky's husband, Jeff, sure was a help with my new Android phone. Oh yes, I forgot to mention that the old one was run over by a car. It sure bit the dust then!! Gary thinks that he was the culprit after I dropped it when he dropped me off for my TOPS meeting.
Anyway, right after that meeting we stopped at an AT&T store that we passed and were blessed with a good salesman!! He wasn't even scheduled to work that day, but had asked to as he only needed one more sale to meet his top bonus goal. So we sure helped each other. Of course, we bought the bottom priced one. I just need to stop in Thrift stores now to find a rubber case for it.
Richard and Lynn, you will appreciate these pictures. They are new additions to the families since we visited last.

| Jeff has been the handyman who built the chicken house. I loved the style!! |
 |
| Isn't this a beauty? I can't remember what kind the kids said it was. |

 |
| This little one is known as their miracle child, who was born after they had decided not to have any more of their own . They had just adopted two children!! |
Many genetic issues made them re-think the prospect of having any more children of their own. Thus they had decided to adopt from Ethiopia. Later, the second family decided to enlarge their family of four by adopting two from Ethiopia also. The children are all charming and since they are home schooled, they are very knowledgeable!!
The oldest daughter of this second family mentioned, is very interested in art and loves sharing with Gary. Since we saw her last she has illustrated a child's book for an author in Georgia. The interesting thing about these illustrations is that the child in he story progresses in age throughout and Kaelyn does her drawings accordingly. She has a new book that she is beginning illustration work on also.

| Kaelyn was probably mastering the dinner for our evening, thus the apron. |

| Amanda, mom with the major health issues. She is recovering, but has many issues to keep working on. |
 |
| And son, Aiden, who had major surgery for his eye this year. He has done well!! |

| I have to look back in our Blog books to find this gal's name. They are unusual, so difficult to remember. |
 |
| Jeff made this for his wife. I loved it and thought our Richard and Lynn too. |
Before our visit was over, we got a phone call from our son, Victor. This was the result of someone going east on Rt 224 in Ohio and turning into Giant Eagle in front of Victor who was west bound. No one hurt, praise God. There were three cars involved. Not sure that I understood how this red car was involved or why.
Guess, I need to cut this off and join Gary so that he can get his errand run. Take care and keep warm!!
