A blessing for Anita

Jul 11, 2011 by pearsonsprogress    4 Comments    Posted under: Baking, blessings

This morning I was on a  Skype with Anita and she was asking me what she could make for supper tonight. I asked her what she had on hand, and so she was able to put together a dish; Fried Rice, with greens,  zucchini, a couple of scrambled eggs, lettuce from her wee patch of garden, some peanuts, soy sauce etc. She was given a bunch of zucchini from a neighbor. How nice!

While we were working on this, in walked hubby Neil with a HUGE bag of groceries and paper goods from a friend who was moving away. Here she was, working on using up the last bits of food on her cupboard, and the Lord responded instantly! He is so good to us to always provide. A real blessing.

She typed out some of the treats she received:

peanut butter

sauces

chocolate chips

powdered sugar

baking mixes

napkins

coffee syrups

beans

jalapenos

risotto rice

and more!

Grand Birthday

Apr 21, 2008 by pearsonsprogress    No Comments    Posted under: Blogroll, Family

April is a “birthday month” for our kids, Neil and Anita in France. Elijah turned 5 years old on April 10th and Ana turned 3 on the 20th. Precious! Here are some photos that we enjoyed, after the fact. We were unable fly or drive to Aix en Provence because of work, but Neil and Anita are very good about sending photos and emails with all the details.

Kids Celebrate 1st Anniversary in Spain!

Yep, Rebekah and Dave celebrated their 1st anniversary as a married couple in Spain. It’s always a blessing to have our kids come to our house and it seems “right” to have them here.

They had a good time seeing the sights of Spain and were able to take in a flamenco show, try some Spanish tapas, go to the Prado Museum, the Royal Place and even  visited a day with Anita (Rebekah’s sister), Neil + the kiddies: Elijah and Ana. We were there too of course and we loved every minute with the kids and “grands”. We hadn’t seen Neil and Anita + fam since Christmas and they live just 9 hours away by car! John and I are hoping for at least quarterly visits with them.

Rebekah and Dave were kind enough to bring us goodies from the States and to take back mail for us. The difference for us is:

U.S Mail- .41 cents

Spanish Mail- $1.27

and that is for each letter! We are always thankful when folks can help us in this way.

Welcome and thank you!
