05/08/17 -  On 4/30, Daniel, Mary Ann, and Ruby came over to Aunt Lena's house and they had breakfast that was prepared by first cousin Ada Mae.  Rachel and Ivan came over as well and we had breakfast with Uncle Amos and Aunt Lena.  We then finished up our visit with them, drove over to first cousin Lizzie's house to say our "thank yous" and good bye.  We then headed out for Bethany's house (our niece).  We had about an hour drive.  We found their house but they were not home from church so we decided to try and find the cabin that we have planned to spend the night.  On our way, we met up with Bethany's family so we turned around and back to her house.  We had a great lunch, cleaned up and then went over to where they are building their new house.  Antony (her husband) bought some acreage and it needed to be cleared and cleaned up before any building could happen. They first built a barn type building that also has his office in there.  Next they started on the house.  It is up,  needed the roof to be finished and windows put in and then most of the outside part is done.  It will be a huge house when done and will be beautiful.  It sure was well planned.  We then went to the cabin to unload our luggage and get acquainted with the area.  Bethany went home and got some food together for dinner because they had invited a family that actually have to little people and they wanted to meet me and have a conversation.  It was very nice to meet the two children but their type of dwarfism gives them more height than what I even have. It was a little chilly, so I begged or a wood fire in the furnace.  Of course toward evening it was very nice and toasty but the rest of my siblings thought they just might died from the HEAT.  Well, at bedtime, they all slept with windows open but did survive.  I was a happy camper.  Off to bed.
