January 28, 2007

No pic for today. I TOTALLY forgot about getting a picture. I went to church and then came straight home and began to work on the slideshow of our trip for the evening service. I didn't leave the computer until I was done with the DVD - and never thought to take a pic after I got home from church. I'll try to go back and find a pic to post on this day!

This is the stained glass dome at the First Pentecostal Church in North Little Rock.

Jillian's 5th bday party.

It stormed the night before we left and it was still rainy and nasty as we were getting ready to leave the country. This is a view from the plane window as we sat on the runway.
It didn't take long for the raindrops to blow off the window.
We flew up through the storm clouds and into the beautiful blue sky.
A cool view from the plane.

The front of the church after we were done. The blocks had to set overnight before they could finish the builing and put in the door and windows. We did get the side (back) door in and all of the windows on the side of the church. The church members finished up the top blocks and put the door/windows in on Saturday. The people named their church Star City Assembly of God of Hicaque. We were honored that they took our church name as theirs.
Back view of the church.
Children of the church getting ready for the dedication service.
After the dedication service, the children line up and we get to give them all candy and treats. This is one of the best parts of the trip!! The kids are so excited.

This is a great place to stay if you go to Tela, Honduras.
Daniela gave me a cloth that she had embroidered. It is beautiful and she made my day when she brought it to me. It is something I will treasure forever. Honduras is a beautiful country.

On some of our travels we had to wait on the cattle. They only moved out of the way when they felt like it!!
Francie and her big sister, Daniela. I fell in love with these girls - and their brothers.
They are the pastor's children.

Each year I love to take pics and show them to the people. Many of them have never seen themselves on a camera before. . . gotta love digital.
I never did learn this boy's name - but I loved this picture. It almost looks like he is standing in front of a fake background.

This is the spot for the church. In four days, there will be a church standing on this empty lot.
This pile of bricks will soon be the walls of the church.

This is Francie. It was so much fun to watch her. I don't know if she'd ever seen herself in a mirror before.

Sherwood, the owner of Hotel Sherwood, invited us to his farm. It was beautiful. We caught our own fish with a net and his people cooked them for us.
I'm not entirely comfortable eating food with the head still on it. . . but this fish was great!

Cool coke signs in Honduras.

OUT OF THE COUNTRY

Just a note to let you all know that I am going to be gone to Honduras for a few days. I am going on a missions trip with my church. I'll be back to work on Jan 29. I hope to have lots of great pics to post. I'll definitely do my pic-a-day while I'm gone! Please keep our group of 13 in your thoughts and prayers this next week!

The sun finally peeked through the clouds today!
It was really weird though - so gray and dreary with a bright spot of sun.

I got busy today and at the end of the day realized I hadn't done a picture. Here a couple that I didn't process until today.
A lot of the times I have appointments I make Jackson let me get a couple of shots of him. He's not crazy about doing it - but he's learned to just do it and not fuss about it!
I took this pic this fall - but I never did anything with it . . . until today.
This little frog was by my back door when I got home.
SO glad it wasn't a spider!

I was able to NOT buy an iPod. . . until I went in Radio Shack and saw the green one! I bought it - and I love it. I wish I'd have gotten one a long time ago!

My niece, Samantha, comes to my house every morning and I take her to school after I drop my son off at school. This morning she was sick, so she ended up staying home from school and I took her to the doctor.

This is Zeus. . . the yapping house dog I swore I'd never have.
I can't imagine NOT having him now!

January 7, 2007

This is one of my favorite pics
from the 2006 SCHS Bulldog football season.
I posted this pic because I've been sick this past week
(pneumonia - yuck!) and I didn't move off the couch much today.

I was standing at my sink today and this squirrel caught my eye. He was playing under the storage building behind our house. I was so glad when he came out and posed for me.
