Around the Family Table

Hi friends! Many of you know and love Chris so I thought I would share here. He is our oldest. He is one of the most kind and giving people I know. He usually goes to a country with a suitcase of his clothes, a sheet set or two, snacks, games and comes back with an empty suitcase. He always states, " someone needed it." Chris is going to Argentina to help with construction and working with the kids. Chris has an amazing heart for the kids. He always brings them a few games of uno and soon becomes a favorite.

More info is on the link.

If you’re able to support financially that’s amazing . If you can pray for his health, safety and that a great work would be done you’re even more amazing.

Thank you so much. Love you guys.

Hello Friend! I know this isn’t the kind of post you are used to seeing but I have been getting many emails asking what I have been up too. Besides a trip to the upper peninsula in Michigan and planning a Florida trip for Christmas / New years I have been working on my house and Crafting. I miss everyone terribly but I am learning to keep myself busy and be content.

I will be doing some craft shows locally if anyone is interested. I will be selling my ornaments ( most a bit more detailed then the past) that we have always given out along with magnets, bath whipping sugar scrubs and unique soaps I have made. Before AtFT I made candles and soap for almost 25 yrs. Before they were in style. I am not doing candles at this time but may include some bath fizzes/ b*mbs if u have time

Nov 2- Schuykill tech Center
Nov 9 Salem Shalter Luther’s church
Nov 16- Bern Reform United Church of Christ

I would love to see you there
