Dear Folks,

First an update:  My middle son has entered an apprenticeship to
become a plumber!  He's thrilled and I'm happy to have him working.
While this is not my first choice for my son, I am happy to see him
planning beyond today!  (g)

Second:  My husband, daughter, and I went to visit the eldest son who
is in college this weekend in Abilene, TX.  On Saturday,  we got
caught in a dust storm.  It was the worse in local memory.  The wind
went to 53 mph for one hour.  We saw a stop sign bend double and break
in the wind.  The sky and air around us turned brown.  The light from
the sun was blue.  When a car turned in front of us, the little glare
you get from the sun was blue regardless of the color of the car.  But
all cars quickly turned brown.  The particles stung when they hit the
skin.

I've never been in a duststorm but it was definitely something to
remember.

Just thought you'd like to know.

Last:  Thank you for your prayers for my son!  Tymon is well!
Yippee!  He had NO cough, No congestion, and ate well!  (Previously I
had requested prayers for him with a chronic sinus problem.)
