October

Fall has come to Kansas beautifully. The days are in the 70s and 80s and the nights in the 50s and 60s. Absolutely perfect. It is also the time for birthdays in our family, James, Jessica and mine. It is hard to believe that I am as old as what my birth certificate says I am. Typo? Its been a good birthday so far. People keep giving me different types of chocolate. I think my love of chocolate is becoming known far and wide. Now if only the Hershey Company would find out and keep me well stocked I'd be good. I recall going with my dad to the Hershey factory when he would take a milk product from the cheese company he drove for. I had to wait in the truck but my wait was rewarded with a bunch of candy. Oh, the good old days when I didn't think about caolories as I enjoyed this dark manna.
We had a wonderful surprise last friday. We received a call from Jessica telling us that an anonymous donor had paid the balance due on her tuition for this semester. To say we were shocked, stunned, overwhelmed doesn't begin to cover it. We don't know who to thank except God. It was a definate answer to prayer. Sometimes I don't know why I bother to get worried and fret about things. He's got it covered.
