Other news to report: We had a visit on November 6 from Trish and her friend Matt and Trish's sister Jana and her husband John. Trish and Jana are daughters of our nephew Bobby who died some years ago. Trish works in St. Louis, John just over the river in Illinois. Trish is a college student and will be a physical therapist when she is finished.

The wonderful news? Jana is pregnant. The baby is due April 1. Of course, we old St. Louis ladies are very much looking forward to this new baby and have already offered loads of help with childcare.

Other, not as good, news is that Trish and Jana's mother, Cindy, is suffering from cancer. The treatments she has been getting from the Mayo Clinic in Rochester have, so far, not been effective at checking the progress of the disease. We urge all our readers to keep Cindy in their prayers as she struggles to overcome this illness.

We have many other photos to post and will add them as time permits. We wanted to have before and after lake pictures, but technology has--once again--defeated us.
