Where we are staying while in Alabama
We are staying in a beautiful log cabin in the mountains in
the middle of nowhere. We are beginning to wonder if mom will be coming back to
Colorado with us. We may not be able to get her away from here.

Today we took a break from singing and started
back to school.
This evening Pastor Venable took us to a
Mexican restaurant. The children in the pictures are his grandchildren.
