"Poem  #23"

In memory of my dearest Mother
"Martha Ellsworth"
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

"A Father and A Mother"
Seams to me a Father
Must have been
The nicest kind of lad.

I'm very sure his Father
Had to be
The nicest kind of Dad.

I'm sure he must have had
A Mother
Who also loved him too.

And she must have had
Some one
Much the same as you.

     Thanksgiving is past and we are still working on the turkey and all the trimmings that went with it, and now our Lord's birthday is our next major event to come. Christmas is such a joyous holiday with all the wonderful things we have to be thankful for. One of the things we look and still hope for, first when we were children and now as grownups is the wish for a "White Christmas". For some unknown reason the thought of snow on the ground at Christmas time seems to make it a bit more special.
     Laurie and I just returned from Missoula, we took over 100 Christmas shoe boxes, donated by "The Little Brown Church" in the little town of Big Fork, We met the Haddons in Missoula and transfered the shoe boxes to their truck as they will be taking them right to brother Kens Mission in Kino Mexico this Christmas, what a blessing they are! As I mentioned last issue we will present an article from a local paper near Sagle Idaho and some photos we took when we last visited our son Mike and family, showing some of his " Scrap Metal Art ". He has made many of them and we will show a few of them in this issue.
We pray All of your Holidays are Special .

"A look at some of the weather we are having."

The weather the past few weeks has been somewhat drier than normal that is our own observation and is based on past weather we have experianced while living in this area, we have had several small flurries of snow however none of them lasted for long and as of right now the griund is bare and the roads are dusty.

if you are so inclined! So with an old country "Thanks" it's bye till next time.
