Great News sister Sue is home !!

Great news, Susie is home from the hospital !! It was good talking to her on the phone and knowing she is home. With therapy and lot of work on her part she will get back to herself in no time. She already has done remarkable improvement. Again the family thanks all the friends and family that gave us all the prayers and encouragement possible. Thanks!!

Keep Prayers Coming

As most of our friends know we have had some family illness. Dennis's sister Susie had a valve replacement surgery February 7th. She had a few complications but with her determination and prayers from all of you she will get through this challenge. I went and spent a week with her and & husband Larry and son Aaron was there to last week. Aimee and husband Doyle's place was to stay in Jacksonville Florida because she is coming close to having Sue & Larry's first grandchild. They was only a phone call away and know much of what is going on thanks to Aaron's cell phone. Thank you so much for all the prayers and phone calls to ask how she is doing. Keep the prayers coming as she still is in hospital and doing better each day. Thank you so much it means a great deal to the entire family. Love Ila

January 21st we have some snow

I took these from house windows so not great pictures. I know all around the country people have tons of snow. We did not get any till today. Only calling for an inch but it feels and looks like winter in Ohio. For our family in California and Florida we did not have a white Christmas but we have snow now.

January 15th ice on our trees

We have had a pretty wet rainy winter but this weekend have had a tad bit of ice. Sunday we woke up to some ice and today it is drizzling and icy to. Calling to get colder and turn to snow possible inch tonight so we will see.
It has looked so gloomy here I think we will be so excited to see the sun again. everything is just saturated with water.

Looking at these pictures we are so ready for a warm day!!!

We got a new 2007 Pontiac Torrent

We have been looking for a new car and this is what we got. LOVE IT!!!! It was hard for me to let go of my Monte Carlo but I do think Dennis picked a good vehicle to take its place.
