Back in Greenville

Thank you for your patience while I was out of town and semi-without internet access.  My dad went home to heaven last Tuesday (Jan 20), and the memorial services, funeral, and burial were stretched out over 3 days of the weekend. We came back to South Carolina just in time to avoid the extreme winter weather up north.  With hosting guests and traveling, we had not even had a night to ourselves (when we hadn’t been traveling home) since before Christmas!  So we are definitely glad to be back!  We are so thankful for the kindness and sympathy everyone has shown in the recent weeks.  God has been so gracious and merciful to us.

I had hoped to do a little scouting out the shopping in my mom’s local groceries, but my dad’s health declined much more quickly than we had anticipated.  But it looks like there are quite a few great deals coming up around here!  Again, thanks for the notes, e-mails, and encouragement!
