We left Peculiar, Missouri, November 28, and it was in the twenties in
the night. We are now in Tombstone, AZ, and it
was in the seventies today! We will be here only
a few days this time. We plan to visit friends
in Tucson and Scottsdale on our way West. We
plan to be in California by December 10. I’m
sure our first stop will be at the In-N-Out
Burger in Indio, CA!
The year is almost at an end. We can’t help but
look back to those who have beat us to Heaven.
Just recently our dear, dear mentor, counselor,
teacher and family friend, Dr. Henry Brandt
transferred from earth to heaven. His death is
earth’s loss and Heaven’s gain. Dr. Brandt
epitomized a friend to us. Marilyn has called
him Uncle Henry since she was 16. He leaves his
wife, Jo, his children , Dick, Beth, and Suzanne
and several grandchildren.
We are looking forward to seeing Mellyn and her
family at Christmas this year. We will be in the
Rocklin area over Christmas. Mellyn is playing
the role of Marian the Librarian in a
presentation of The Music Man at a local
community theater. Of course, mom and dad will
be there to cheer her on. We are very proud of
her. Expect lots of pictures next month.☺
We had a wonderful visit with Matt and family.
We drove with Deb to Manhattan, KS to celebrate
our granddaughter Kate’s twenty-first birthday
while we were there. We also celebrated
Marilyn’s 71st birthday, visited a TCF chapter,
visited the Hallmark Center, and Marilyn spoke
at a TCF chapter in Independence. We spent
Thanksgiving with Matt’s family, and we had a
visitor....Wall-E! Our grandson Nate works at
Best Buy. When the promotion for the dvd was
over, Nate was able to bring Wall-E home. We
spent the afternoon watching the dvd. It was
fun. It was always surprising to walk past
Wall-E, an inanimate object, and hear him sigh
or say Wow! Thanks to the motion sensor
installed in him, he was able to almost convince
us he was quite real. Marilyn wanted to kidnap
him, and she would have except that she couldn’t
think where she could store him in the RV.
Glen installed Skype on Marilyn’s computer, so
that means that if anyone has web-cam
capabilities on their computer, you can not only
talk to Marilyn, but you can see her as well.
Drop us an e-mail and we can set up a time to
‘chat.’
Since this is probably our last communication in
2008, may we take this time to wish you all a
very Merry Christmas and a
Happy New Year.
Remember,
JESUS IS THE
REASON FOR THE SEASON!
In Him,
Glen and Marilyn Heavilin
