It took a while, but the scanner has finally been installed into the new Ponderosa Computer. That means we can bring the October page of the Ditty Bops calendar. Better late than never.

With the bike tour behind them, the Ladies are sticking closer to home. They've played a gig at The Joshua Tree Park, and even they have even gone as far as Flagstaff, Arizona to make music.

Today is also lucky for Agnes Hahn. It was on this date ?? Years ago that her daughter Phyllis Ehlers was born. We won't tell you Phyllis's age, but we will tell you that, like her sister Mary Hinkle, she is the same age as her tongue and older than her teeth (actually Mary is quite a bit older than her teeth because she didn't floss as a child)

My aunt, Dianne Macek called this afternoon with news that her newest grandchild, two day old Morgan Hoffman, has a hole in her lung. Dianne is concerned about her, and rightly so. Things look bleak, but there is hope. Morgan, her parents John and Rachel Hoffman, and the rest of Morgan's family are going through a valley right now. But in the words of the song "God on the Mountain" it tells us that The God Of the day is still God of the night. I will be reading Psalm 91 as a prayer for my youngest cousin, and I ask that all who read here will pray for her in any way that feels right. When things look this dark, it's time to reach for the Light of the World. May His Light shine on all who help out with this prayer. And, as Grandad used to say, "Just do the best you can!"
