as i have ridden the train many times now i love it, but my favorite part is when we come back to the station there is a little white shidsue in the window of an rv that they hold up and she waves to all the children on the train and me...such joy from something so small

a very different christmas, but different is not bad...jesus is jesus where ever we are and we are so thankful....and very thankful that when we got hewre we found the owners born again, we really did not know what we might get in to with workcamping and not maps....i am not on the computer alot here it is not in the rv but we do have cell service which is real nice...and if i can come up with the time there is a whirl pool and great heated pool....but i am just too busy ...cant even catch up with my house and bank stuff ( i am alot slower though these days too. i am also sort of on face book i am looking up alot of the boys from tc i miss my boys too
