How good it feels to live in a community that continues to rise to the challenge of feeding residents in these tough times!  More than 50 families visited the Orcas Island Food Bank today.  Soon to have its own building (another great community effort!)  on the Orcas Island Community Church property.

Thank you Orcas Island, for your faithfulness in this area.  Neighbors blessing neighbors!

Hey, hey, hey!  Made it home in one piece, had a great family Thanksgiving in Tyler, TX — ran the security gauntlet at DFW without incident (saw, but did not walk through an X-ray booth), and enjoyed the great adventure!   The parental units have selected a fine locale for their new digs, and best of all it was tank-top warm in Arizona and Texas up until the day before we left.  Here’s hoping we missed winter on Orcas!
