Interesting sight in the evening sky

0 comments

As I was talking with the security guard outside our house tonight, I saw this sight in the western sky. I'm far from an astronomy guru, so I had to look it up online (which wasn't a really straight-forward process) and, if what I found is correct, this is the planet Venus that's in close (apparent, that is) proximity to the moon.

Isn't she lovely!

A new Marcette has arrived in Honduras!  Born on Dec. 31, 2008, she’s the daughter of our friend, Lupe, who named her Estefani Marcette.  I feel so honored!  And I’m anxious to see her for myself; I’ve never met another Marcette before!  Please pray that this little one will remain healthy and that she will come to know Jesus as her Savior at an early age.   And isn’t she just beautiful!  (I know – looks just like me, right?)

Orchids!

Today we went to an Orchid show with our friends and co-workers, Gordon and Norma Pike. The show was a large display from various growers showing some of the 1500+ varieties (!!) of orchids that are native to Costa Rica. As you may be able to tell from some of the photos in the slide show on the right, purple was a prevalent color!

Marcette was extremely excited to walk out with a couple of orchids to try her hand at growing (second photo).

Coffee House

Yesterday, Lindsay's school setup a coffee house as a fund-raiser for the play they will be putting on. Lindsay has been playing in the worship band and, as such, was a part of the talent show portion of the coffee house. She did a great job!
