Reen’s Reflections—January 2025

With thanks to God for his continuous love, presence and direction for us we head into this year ahead.

January—found us settled in Nyssa & Brad’s driveway at Granville. We were heading to Camden on Friday 3. We would be minding Vera out at Silverdale, NSW for the next 2 weeks, from Monday to Friday, while Joel and Beck were working. The trip from Camden to Silverdale and back took us about 30 minutes each way. Vera and I played card games, Barbie, trampoline with sprinkler, swinging and other activities each weekday. Dean joined in games with us at times but he also spent time doing some website designs that kept him busy. For two days during the holiday Dean, Vera and I visited Nyssa and the kids for the day. The kids loved the time together playing card games, etc.

On the weekends Dean spent time building his block construction Basset Hound that he got for Christmas and we also purchased a weather station which Dean set it up on a pole and attached it to the awning. While in Camden we had lots of rain and some major storms. It was great to have the time with Joel, Beck & Vera.

On Saturday 18 we headed back to Granville. Doreen had a follow-up appointment at Westmead Hospital on Monday 20, all went well. Dean finished his Basset Hound and Reen spent time playing Harry Potter SCRABBLE and HP & Dr Who Monopoly with the kids, which was lots of fun.

It was interesting to watch the weather station readings, Dean had attached it to the carport and it worked well. Joel asked us for help with his path destruction/construction and we spent two Wednesdays out at his house.
