BACK TO WORK-AND THIS IS RETIREMENT!!!!

ENDEAVORS HOWDY to all:

John started on Sunday night at Amazon and has worked his 1st 20 hours. Sunday night was spent in SAFETY SCHOOL, where safety techniques was shown to assist in a safer work environment.

Monday night was spent on the receiving dock moving loads that had been received, to the aisle for placement (STOWING) into their respected picking areas.

Tuesday evening found him in the DVD;CD; and Books area learning how to scan each item into a holding bin,(those darn hand held scanners are about to do damage to his remaining brain cells.)

Wednesday night he returned to the same area and garments was added when we ran out of work, then just as he was at the clock to time out a storm hit the area and knocked out the power..he still may be on the time clock!!!

Judy spent her week reading and working on her new favorite pastime of doing crossword puzzles and circle words. She also got all of the ENDEAVOR squared away. We also found a laundromat in Independence that was really clean and pleasant to spend a couple of hours in.

We would like to make a side trip over to Branson, Mo. to take in the WISSMANN FAMILY CHRISTMAS SHOW at the Chuck Wagon Theater.
10 Am daily Monday through Saturdays til Christmas. John is trying to arrange a trip for others also (see all that ACTIVITIES TRAINING is coming into use). While we are there we want to see the Christmas lights also.

Bamm-Bamm and Pebbles are R E A L L Y liking it here at ELK CITY LAKE STATE PARK. They are trying to get outside as much as possible (in spite of the possible run in with coyotes and other vermits ) They spend thier days either sleeping or eating.

Amazon is about a 35 minute drive each way, but the advanages of being here in ECLSP is worth it. We have 3 bars on cell phone reception, which includes the air card for the computer. We receive 7 local television over the air stations, and of course we have our DIRECT-TV SATILITTE set up to receive OUR favorite channels. Also the scenery of the fall colors of the trees and the lake is beautiful. Altough today we are getting a strong wind with gust to 60 mph and sustaining around 45mph.

We have seen alot of our fellow ADVENTURELAND co-workers here at Amazon. We heard through them that BOBBIE WILLIAMSON is doing much better, The JACKSONS arrived safely in Destin, and they send thanks for the traveling prayers. We are joining others in praying for the WISSMANNS as they have a unique opportunity to witness and minister to others, who may not encounter JESUS in any other way.(check out their website from our link on the right)

May GODs BLESSING go with each of you

Along with the HUGS from THE LONGS-ON THE ROAD: JOHN AND JUDY

and BIG meows from the TRAVELING CATS (Bamm-Bamm is eyeing this computer,, thinking he may try his paws on here again)
