Fond Memories Made

In so many ways , it's been a typical busy Summer! But now, we are back on our normal schedule. We decided to gather the 'In Line With The Word' home team for some food, fun and fellowship to mark the end of the Summer and to transition into our new Fall studies!

Dutch served as official 'greeter' and he did a great job!

Kim's mom Doris became an official member of our team. We are delighted and know that we'll benefit greatly from her wisdom. She'll be with us for a few weeks until she flies away to Florida for the Winter. We'll save her seat until she returns next Spring. She's a delight and she didn't even mind all of the noise.

Pastor Harv and Jean joined us as our very special guests. Pastor Harv is our adviser and we were delighted to share our evening with them.


We all enjoyed a great meal but we still had a very special job to do....

Since we had more buddy boxes to fill, most likely our last batch sent over to Doug in Afghanistan, we had notes to write and sign. We put cards and a photo of our team in each box shipped.

We had lots of fun and everyone helped.

Jay does his best work helping while sitting on the sideline and cheering everyone on.

We had lots to pack !

Check out Laurie and Brian's great teamwork.

When done, we had 6 more boxes, just waiting for our team photo to be added and then off to the Post Office for the start of their journey to Afghanistan!

The guys managed to get away to check out the Tivo of Monday Night Football. It was a Patriot's win after all.


Happy Birthday Doris!

D.J. even took a break from doing his homework and joined us for a while. All in all, it was a delightful evening. Next week , we begin a two week audio theater presentation entitled
'Rescued' by John Bevere!

Until the next time, we strive to live our lives In Line With The Word,
Sally
