This is Frank and Cloody's

grand daughter, she graduated college last year and had her heart set on teaching English in China.

Here she is in Beijing on holiday from teaching. And I get excited when The Bennie says less go to "Walley World."

Remember

when clothes were hung out side to dry? Today it is going to be in low 40's

the wind is blowing,

  is it spring yet??

Frank's Picnic Table

I tried to get him to send me a photo of his  picnic table  with the ice on it from the unusual storm they had in Houston yesterday. But he didn't, so I had to empervise.

It really wasn't this bad at all.



I never get tired of this photo. It was taken on a day in  February  when we went to visit Frank and Cloody.
It was like a spring day. 

It Would Be Nice

to visit a winter garden now!

Pressing on Toward the Goal

Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing

I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press

on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward

in Christ Jesus.

It so happen that on January 25 1858 at the wedding of her oldest daughter Victoria Adelaida Mary Louisa to Crown Prince of Prussia German Emperor Frederick 111. "The Wedding March" of Mendelssohn's was presented for the first time.
