Rangemaster for Rachel 

Ah, my new (old) violin has arrived from NJ. It has 1 crack, needs new strings and the sound-post will require setting, but it should be in order by next week.

In which my sisters take it upon themselves to attire my person in retro fashion...

Not exactly my standard fare, but amusing nevertheless...

Pethtels visit

The Pethtel clan graced us with their presence last Friday night, and have been with us until this afternoon. Some of you may remember hearing that they kindly allowed us to drop in on them for a week in their home in Idaho Falls, ID, last March for the filming of, "Mr. Safeguard." Mr. Mark Pethtel having subsequently decided to resign as a Nuclear Contamination Engineer for the power plant outside of Pocatello, (?did I get that right?) he is now employed at the research facility in Oak Ridge, TN. We spent most of today (after church) going over film plans for the next year. Looks like the GCFA will begin seriously looking for sponsors for the Christian Film Hour, and we're looking at working with Manny Edwards on his next blockbuster -- the details of which may be released sometime within the near future. :)

In which the boys are playing after the film festival; Alan receives a costochondral separation and has lots of fun for weeks afterwards... LOL :D
