But it has been great wonderful memories, photos, and lots of laughs.

It was Thanksgiving here yesterday and we celebrated in style with the Robinsons and Cockrams and The Beresics , cooking shrimp and steak outside which tasted fab.

We continued with more food and lots of laughs. Steve actually swam in our pool -he must be mad. there are photos of Mike cleaning it!!!

We have lots to be Thanks ful for - great friends -a wonderful new house- beautiful sunshine- minstry opportunities that continue to be blessed and growing - 2 beautiful daughters about to be Brides - a son who thrives in the USA - and of course our health .

I have just come back from aweek in Budapest with lots of european Church planters it was really good time .

Mike's dad died in London just before our time in Budapest and his funeral in suffolk is on wednesday. It was wonderful that he managed to spend time with him and that he got there in time. He was a lovely man and will be missed but remembered very fondly .
