CRM Saturday

First on my agenda this morning was Breakfast with the Independence Street girls, meeting at Eileen’s house at 8:30.  I don’t live on Independence Street, but Eileen is the organizer and she always invites the pastor’s wife. Winking smile If they don’t want me to come, they shouldn’t invite me, right?

Come on, girls! Let’s get in the car and go!  I’m hungry!2011 Nov 19 CRM 113

This morning, eight of us went to the Tejas Restaurant just a short distance from our park. That’s Sue on the front end of the table.  She’s new to the park this season and works in the office. Next to her is her friend, Sheila, also new to the park.  Really fun girls. We hit it off. Next are Diane, Alice, Taima, Kay, Onalee and Eileen.Sue, Sheila, Diane, Alice, Taima, Kay, Onalee, Eileen, LaVon

Diane was here last year, but didn’t get to know her so really enjoyed visiting with her this morning.Diane Shern

Kay, down on the other end of the table, is just too cute in her cap.Kay

I decided that I need to take Don to the Tejas in the near future.

At noon, we headed over to Alamo Rec Veh Park for our monthly CRM potluck and meeting. It didn’t take us long to line up and fill our plates.2011 Nov 19 CRM 1172011 Nov 19 CRM 118

Our General Director, Dennis Maloney is presiding.2011 Nov 19 CRM 119

A tremendous addition to the CRM list of chaplains is Raymond Smith from the UK. We’re excited about the ministry he has begun in Los Fresnos to the Winter Texas from Quebec, Canada… French speaking.  Yes, Raymond speaks French and we’re all excited about encouraging Christians to go back to their homes in the summer and be bolder to share Jesus Christ with their friends and neighbors there…. wherever ‘there’ is.Raymond Smith
