Fat Tuesday and Fall Festival


Julie from Orion UMC

We began our day today with another good breakfast. Thanks Sue & Jan! During our devotion time we each thought of a word to describe our feelings of what we were seeing - probably 20 different words and they all were powerfully accurate. our group at Geneva's house worked on mudding, sanding, a little more taping, electrical, covered windows with plastic - we're ready for spray-texture to be applied to ceilings and walls.

It's Fat Tuesday - and a holiday for many workers and the school kids were off. It's important for the people to have their celebration and parades - it's part of their heritage and the word I would describe today would be pride.

It would compare to Orion being wiped out by a tornado - but 6 months later we would be sure that Orion Fall Festival happened! We're proud of it and that's just who we are and what we do! YOU CAN'T KEEP US DOWN!

Geneva will be 90 tomorrow - we have gifts and a cake and we will do our best to be sure she has a great day and with her family - celebration fitting a wonderful, proud, strong lady!

So hello at home - we miss you and we'll see you soon!
