Faces of the Indian people. Rick loves working with the people of India because they are very hard working, but get paid so little. Rick has seen over the last 10 years that he has visited there how their livelihood progresses each visit.

India's scholarly team met over 10 years ago with a plan called 2020. Their goal-to become a self-sustaining nation instead of third-world economy. Most of the "Holy" cows are out of the major cities. Highways are developing all over. The southeastern part has a lot of Christianity. Northwest is more Muslim. They love color.

My brother-in-law, Gary Finley, from Brentwood, Tennessee seated here at preacher meeting in Chennai located on India's Eastern Coast. Rick and Gary researched information for Healing Hands International. Vinyl chairs are a BIG item over there.

We are so blessed. We have family, health, and happiness. What more is there to life. Extra perks are that Angela has met Lynn and they seem to have a wonderful relationship. Tonya and Matt are engaged and are planning to get married Just about everyone is workiMay 30 of this year. Danielle is stayed with me while Rick was in India for 10 days. She is in her final undergraduate semester at WKU. Yahoo!!! Jody's family are adorable as ever.

Christmas Eve Rick and I wanted to do something special since we already spent Christmas with the rest of the family on Thanksgiving Day!

We went to the Louise Mandrell Christmas Show at Opryland Hotel. When she was autographing a photo of Rick and I she remarked that her mother's name is Mary, and I said my middle name is LOUISE!!!

Christmas 2008

Happy

Halloween!

This picture was actually taken inside the De Soto Cavern, note stalactites in background. The pumpkin was not with us-thanks to photo shop.

Austin and Grandpa chowing down the rest of the fudge. ANGELA!!! It's all gone. Spent the day at De Soto Caverns, which was awesome and we definitely know the difference between "stalactites" and "stalagmites". To remember the difference the "tites" are from the ceiling and "mites" might reach the ceiling, build from the ground up!
