Just An Ordinary Sunday

Good morning and welcome to just an ordinary Sunday in December in Iowa. The pictures this morning talk about some of the extracurriculars that happened this week. Last weekend BJ and Cassia's kids helped Jan and I decorate the cabin for Christmas.
As usual in December Stillwaters is busy with Christmas get-togethers. We're thankful we can share the cabin and enjoy the company. It keeps Jan hopping.
We had three grandsons involved in Robotics. Teams build programed machines out of Lego's and compete in different functions.
The Advancement Committee of our local Christian Grade School borrowed the shop to get their float ready for Oskaloosa's annual Christmas parade.
Thanks for all you do for our school Mike, Jason, Laura, Teresa, Tim, and Bill.
Friends of ours lost their father to cancer this past week. Because of the extra responsibilities with family they had some corn left to harvest so we helped them out with the hauling. Our sympathies Brent and Anne.
The gals took an afternoon together to tour some homes in Pella and then celebrate Jan's birthday early by going out for supper. Us guys have a lot to be thankful for because of this bunch.
Shotgun season is a big deal in Iowa. It always surprises me how much passion and emotion are involved in deer hunting in regards to hunting parties, territory, and permission.
Last evening Jan and I went to theses fellow's house for supper, a Lego movie, and playing farm.
73 years ago today started out as just an ordinary Sunday morning. Then the bombing of Pearl Harbor changed our course in history. World War II personally effected every family in this country. Would we have the faith and fortitude to survive something extraordinary?
