9 September, 2019 MONDAY MISSIVE Hey, Hampstead Family! Grace and peace!
Dorian Was On Target!
The flat roof over our Preschool took a direct hit from Dorian—the roof was rolled back, and the water entered the Preschool! Thanks to the excellent response of our Trustees, damage was minimal, and we are on the way to being dried out and restored! School opening is delayed, but only for a short while! Thanks to our hard-working and committed teachers and their leader Judy Lane, as well as a number of volunteers who responded to our call for help!
CELEBRATIONS! A “The Move-Was-Good-and-We-Miss-You” Note From the Cranes
Please, forgive me for taking so long in letting everyone
know how things are going in AL. The move went very well. No damage to furniture. Went
quite smoothly. We have unpacked most boxes in the interior of house and stuff
put away. Feeling organized and comfortable in house. However the
garage is an awful mess. Most of these items I packed; Christmas,
decorating and pictures in garage. I plan to hit it as soon as the weather is a
little cooler. The first two weeks temperatures were between 92 and 100.
Lots of high humidity as well. Thank goodness all work was inside work.
We met our new neighbors and everyone is very
welcoming and promises we’ll love the neighborhood. There are activities
such as morning coffee on Mondays and game night on Thursdays. Larry has
played with the local senior softball men and he is excited about being on
their teams. I haven’t approached hooking yet (Note: old Alabama traditional craft involving rugs, in case you were
concerned!) but hope to in October. Still too much to do to be
settled.
It is
wonderful being close to Daryl, Tiff and boys. Suppers together, the boys
fish in our lake and lot’s of “drop byes.” I especially have enjoyed
sitting on the patio and “staring” at the lake. So very peaceful and it
doesn’t require cleaning!
I have been watching “Dorian” and I pray it
goes easy on Wilmington. But I must admit not having any preparations or
worry is quite nice! Please be careful and know I am thinking about you. Here
is our updated information. I hope you’ll continue keeping us in HUMC’s group
rosters.

We miss each of you. It was not an
easy decision to move from NC, but one that was necessary. Hope to see
you at the cabin or in AL. The door is open, the wine chilled and your bed
made!
Love to all, Vicki (and Larry) Crane
(We’re happy for you, and we miss you guys, too! Skip)

HUMOR
A boy asks his father “Dad, how did humans come to be on earth?”
The father explains “Humans evolve through apes who swing through trees!”
The boy then asks his mother “Mom, how did humans come to be on earth?”
His mother explains “God created the first two humans.”
The boy then says “But mom, dad said that humans evolved from apes!”
Mom replies “Your dad told you about HIS side of the family—I told you about mine!”
