Christmas Blessings

Hello Friends and Family,
Once again it is time to look over thepast year. This has been a year of major
changes in our lives and seeing the hand of God’s Blessing. We both hope this is finds all of you welland enjoying all of His Blessings.
The biggest change is we are now residentsof the pretty town of Fairview, Tennessee.
It is a long story, but it all began with Terry receiving a call he was oneof the company members listed for being “reduced in force”. He was able to transfer to their office in
Nashville Tennessee but we had to move VERY quickly. We had about a month to make arrangements forselling the farm, at least starting to get packed, and where we would live
until we could find a house. We livedwith Pat, Myla, and the foster grandkids for about three months until we couldmove into the house in Fairview near the end of July. We thank the Lord we had ready buyers for thefarm, the people who had rented the place for over forty years. We managed to get at least a good start on thesorting and packing before we had to pull out for down south and thanks to dearfriends in Michigan everything did get done. You can begin to be mind boggledat what you can accumulate in seventeen years of living in one place. Although we are continuing to sort.
We sold the family farm in July and ourold home has been transformed into a daycare, of which I love the name….Grandma’sHouse. How my Grandma Wingeier would
love the sound of all the little children running around. There is some emotion about ending one
hundred and twenty years of family ownership of the property but we know it is
in good hands. We were able to keep thepromise the three of us made when Daddy passed away to keep the place infarming for which we are grateful all around.
We are ecstatic to be closer to the “kids”and foster grandkids. It is only about
an hour to their place. They are doing very well and have been with Pat and Myla for a little over a year now. Carlos is in first grade, Jasmine is in kindergarten with the same teacher Carlos had last year, Adriana (Miss Mouse) and Emily (Grandma’s girl) are in a daycare they enjoy. Pat and Myla both completed their Masters Degrees this spring. Myla is working hard to get the hours in needed to obtain her license in Counseling. Pat is putting his to good use teaching Science in a charter school in Nashville. We are hoping the state will allow them to adopt the four kids. You have to know we enjoy being Grandpa andGrandma.
We are pretty much settled in the “new “ house and are enjoying the downsizing. It
is a blessing to have a pool in the back yard for exercise. I have had some health issues come up, some which were surprises, but things could be so much worse. We joined a new church and are
enjoying it greatly. Our address is now : 7797 Horn Tavern Road, Fairview, TN
37062. Come on and see us, y’all!!!
