A month???

I can't believe it has been almost a month since I posted an entry. To all our loved (but far away) CC members, I apologize. I promise to do better. Maybe I will just have to post from the CC next time....Now there is a thought. If I do that, you know Boo will be over my shoulder telling me what to write.

Since I have last posted we have had some visitors. Sandra (N's sister) stayed for a while and my cousin's from Texas, Chrissy and Manny, were here. You can see a picture of Chrissy and Manny in the Photo Album but I forgot to get one of Sandra. Maybe I can pull one from somewhere else. We also had to say, 'bye for now' to Matt (there is a new picture of him too).

 He is off to Philly to Temple University. It was great having him with us for most of the summer. Hopefully he will make a habit of it, if his Mom doesn't mind!

Speaking of his mom, Sissy, she called in from Philly to the CC. She was there to help Matt get settled in his new dorm and ready for the semester ahead. But it doesn't end there. Not only is this CC NATIONAL....

This past week at CC we went INTERNATIONAL. We actually had visitors from Holland via Skype. If you haven't heard of Skype it is a computer software that allows users to talk on the phone via the internet. If you have a web camera, you can see the person you are talking to. That is is how Rick and Susan came to CC! They are in Holland at the GO Conference with OM (Operation Mobilization-a missionary sending agency). They will be there the rest of this week and then they will travel back to Italy (where they will be serving for TWO years) to language school. Once language school is done they will start working at a church in Torre Pelice. What an amazing adventure! I will get the website and post it so you may link to it as well.

It was a busy CC and very much full of laughs as always. What a great time!

Getting back to the Coffee Club

First of all, welcome to the new site! This new site will let us have a calendar, add more pictures, let guests leave comments and keep us up to date on what happened at the latest Coffee Club meeting. If you haven't, click on the links under the picture of the coffee cup on any page to have a look around. There is even a link (Where we started!) that has the old blog archived.

As you can see, we haven't had any entries for the last three months. Those of you in the CC and our close friends know why. We had a huge bump but as with all things you have to ask the good Lord for stregnth and just keep going! That is what is most important, keep going, have fun, ENJOY what the Lord has given you and appreciate those things that you had but have now lost. Don't get bogged down. KEEP GOING.

Now, to KEEP GOING, we are getting back to blogging and adding things in the CC website to keep our family and friends updated. This new site is going to be great!

We have a had a few CC meetings in the last three months but not many. Actually we only had one in July because our precious Papa had knee replacement surgery on July 18th. He has been in the hospital and in rehab but now he is home with his personal nurse, N. He came home Saturday and everyone was there come Sunday morning for hugs, laughs and mater and ham sandwiches. We even had out of town visitors! My cousin, Chrissy, and her husband, Manny, are here for vacation for a week. They got here Saturday and what did they do first? Visit the CC! You can see their picture in the Visitors album. What a way to get back to things. Have a look, leave a comment, enjoy the site and come back often to see what we are up to....
