Winning....

Our Relay for Life  "Studs and Peelers" team had a raffle for an Ohio Buckeye tree.  Today we picked a name from a coffee can and our big winner was a Forest Service employee from Creighton, Donna Lundquist.  She happened to be in the area today and picked up her prize...a lovely shedding tree:)

 

Here are some team members, L->R Dave Stevenson, Nadine Penney

Twila Gola and the winner, Donna Lundquist.

Then at noon, another winning event took place.  It was a retirement luncheon for two over-thirty-five year folks of the Northern Support Services, Stan Mamczasz (it took me a good many years to be able to type Stan's name without looking!!) and Dianne Gervais.  It was good to recognize their service to the government and to join with other folks to celebrate their accomplishments.  I trust their retirements will be fruitful and filled with fun and good health!

Stan and his wife.

Dianne and her husband.

This evening was Kid's Club....we crafted bracelets with beads and bells as a precursor to the story of Isaac and Rebekah.  I began to tell the group of pre-schoolers the story of Abraham sending his servants to his home land to find a suitable wife for his son, Isaac and how the servants had to travel by camel over the desert to go and find Isaac a wife (Rebekah was found for him!!!).  So, I had a picture of this camel walking in the desert.  I showed the class the picture and asked them what the camel was walking on.  "His legs!", was the first comment.  I was hoping for "sand" as an answer but instead, I got what I asked for!!!  They are just too funny!

The day has ended with a long phone conversation with Matt and texting with Shannon.  All good.

So, besides work, it has been a busy day.  Nite all.........
