My Blog has a NEW look

May 3, 2012 by     6 Comments    Posted under: Blogroll, Family

As you can see I have a NEW appearance to my blog thanks to the skills and time our son-in-law Neil shared with me. He has been a wealth of information and is extremely patience in his teaching this ‘old dog to learn new tricks’. I hope these new tricks  will become salient and I can move on to learn even more from him.

Each on one of our kids has so many talents and attributes and John and I appreciate these in Neil:

  • He is willing to share his knowledge & skill
  • He is a continual learner
  • He’s patient
  • It’s a good teacher
  • Good father
  • Serving & loving husband
  • Humble
  • Hard worker/diligent.
  • Godly man
  • He’s very fun to be around!

I thank God for  Neil  as I know all of our family does.

pdrm2204.JPGThank you again for logging on to our website. I thought I would tell you a bit about it so you can familiarize yourself with some of the cool functions that Neil added for me. Here are some of the things you can do:

  • Check the weather in Madrid
  • Look at the value of the dollar in relationship to the euro.
  • Click on the link to “Neil and Anita” to see their blog
  • Check out the other links listed
  • Click on the DiggJesus icon to go to a most interesting website where Christians share interesting stories, help and resources with each other.
  • Notice that the photo banner at the top changes as you navigate the sight. These are all photos of Spain.

We are just getting started but we hope to make improvements in the months to come. With us, it is definitely, “poquito a poco” (little by little)

 

Kids Celebrate 1st Anniversary in Spain!

pdrm2247.JPGYep, 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!
