SNOW!!!

   Yes, we had 9 inches of snow in OCTOBER!!!



On Friday evening a wonderful family from Western, PA came to our house for the week-end.

Bethanny, David M., Joshua, and Hope built a snowman

Our adventurous snowhike to the neighbors for fresh cows milk with a
layer of cream on top....the adults wanted cream for their coffee.  :)

Sword drills with more competition are always fun!

Bethanny taught Joy, Elainah, and David "school".  They were so cute!

The trees haven't lost all their leaves yet so with the added weight
of the snow the branches were sagging and quite a few broke off.

Journal Making

   Aunt Rebekah taught the Keepers Club about journals and their role in the lives of famous people. She had a paper for all of us to read together about how Brother Branham's mother kept a journal about his visions, and how God keeps a journal of our lives.
  We made two journals and a duck tape flower pen.  One journal was covered in scrapbook paper and the other one was covered in fabric.
