I needed a laugh today


An elderly Italian man lived alone in the country. It was time to plant his tomato garden, but the ground was to hard for him to dig.  
His only son, Vincent, who used to help him, was in prison. The old man wrote a letter to his son and described his predicament:



----
Dear Vincent,


I am feeling pretty badly because it looks like I won't be able to plant my tomato garden this year. I know if you were here you would be happy to dig the plot for me. 


Love, Dad

----


A few days later he received a letter from his son:



----
Dear Dad,

Don't dig up that garden. That's where I buried the bodies. 


Love, Vinnie.

----


At 4 am FBI agents and local police arrived and dug up the entire area.
Since they did not find any bodies, they apologized to the old man and left. 


Later that day, he received another letter from his son:



----
Dear Dad,


Go ahead and plant the tomatoes now. 
That's the best I could do under the circumstances.


Love you, Vinnie

Christmas & New Year's Post

I hope everyone had a safe and blessed holiday--I enjoyed seeing updates on Facebook and talking with many of our family and friends. There seemed to be a plan this year for sending out photo cards---we've never received so many!! They are arranged on the large mirror in the living room and I am loathe to take them down. :)

I will send out an update on our impending PCS to Alaska when we get more information. Until then, please pray with us on these issues--

  1. Housing (including Buster being allowed to live with us on post or in a rental)
  2. Vehicles (we will likely need to sell the truck and Kiso's car AND purchase a 4WD)
  3. Travel (note issues with vehicles and Buster--and Michelle)
  4. School (both kids were considering a 4yr college here in Texas Fall 2010)
  5. Finances, Church, Friends...
Bless you and thank you for praying!!
