Carol & I would like to wish all of you a very joy filled, blessed and MERRY CHRISTMAS as we celebrate the birth of our Savior and Lord, JESUS CHRIST !

James (Jim) Rookus

BOO.... so glad to hear our prayers answered and your test proved youron the mend.  Personal opinion.....  don't try Marvin's idea... you'd be bound to swallow accidentally cause it would wake up all those taste buds and swallow glands and NOT GOOD FOR YOU !

DAVE ..... prayers for Dorothy too....  take good care of her and if she needs a cow bell to call on you for service I will provide one !

Blessings to ALL !

Tried a new restaurant the other day - after an interesting meal, this was my sentiment, exactly....

David Brock

Dave Long--not having heard anything--I presume your wife is doing well after her E-Bike accident.  Even the little bumps and bruises seem to take forever to heal. 

David Long

David, thanks for asking.  Dorothy is doing well.  The staples and stitches have been removed from her scalp and the healing itch is subsiding.  She remains extremely active with Arts and Environment projects at our parish (getting the alter set up, et al. I've never really paid attention to all the subtle changes that take place behind the scenes until took over as head of the A&A comittee.

Boy Dave !  Those bikes on the sidewalk reminds me of our house in the 80's....  we were the only house with a pool for about 3-4 blocks so when we put the "FLAG" out.... kids knew it was "open swim" and the bikes appeared in no time!  GOOD MEMEORIES !

Glad to hear Dorothy is doing well.... had also wondered about her !

David Brock

Dave--Good to hear Dorothy is on the mend--almost back to normal.  Activities with any group (Church or otherwise) take a lot of help.  Thanks for your efforts.

IF you go back and look at Dave Brock's post on 12/31/25 and my post following his,

then you will understand this photo !

THIS CHRISTMAS GIFT was delivered by SANTA a couple days ago in response to

IF anyone noticed on the national news a report of the 100 vehicle pile up in Grand Rapids Michigan today (Monday AM) ... that occured only 4 miles due south of my home.  That is a route we are driving on often !  Glad we were hybernating today !
