Special Holiday Treat

When we learned that a JAARS airplane would be doing a Missions at the Airport appearance at the airport in Seward, Nebraska, we jumped at the chance to get a ride. Dad sat in the copilot's seat and three young girls joined us for their very first plane ride. Needless to say, they were excited and so were these two Martin boys. These planes provide a wonderful service getting in to hard to reach areas and providing supplies, transportation and communication to assist missionaries, especially those serving with Wycliffe Bible Translators.

Celebrating a 66th Wedding Anniversary


Here's a formula for enjoying time with family celebrating a significant milestone.


First, Steph brings a fine and interactive board game for everyone to play together. There were three main rules. Everybody must draw, guess and laugh a little.




Then add some willing family members and let the

good times begin! Grandma draws parts of a car

and Steph drew an octopus as one of the things in

the ocean. (Well, at least Janell managed to guess

that it was an octopus.) Tom struggled with drawing asparagus but the guys still got all eight vegetables.



Time also allowed for good conversation and many laughs. In the end, each side won one game and the evening ended in a draw. All winners!

Such an evening highly recommended.





Happy 66th Anniversary, Mom & Dad, Grandma & Grandpa!!
