Winter Wonderland

It seems months ago since I wrote my last post. I quess I am just too busy to sit down at the computer and start writing. Perhaps another reason might be that we as Geertsema's are not very proficient writers. Probably I could add many more excuses. Well I did purchase another computer and although most of the time it was willing to do the work it is supposed to do it has the annoying nuisance of starting and after a few seconds it would turn off. I did bring it in to the seller in town but it took several trips back and forth before the problem was fixed. I have had it working flawlessly for about a whole week. So far so good! Mom and I have been busy with selling Gouda cheese as a fund raising endeaver for the Heritage Christian School. Since the beginning of this school year we have raised nearly $ 500.00. Since parents do not receive any money, they are required to pay for all tuitions themselves This particular fund raising is
<:AtomicElement> to for the student fund for extras. We did cut 47 whole wheels and we diviide these into halves, quarters and into eights and then we vacuum pack them. Last week I did manage to buy an used cheese cutter. It is made in Europe and it used a steel wire to cut the cheese. Today I used it for the first time and it works fine and it will help a lot with cutting It sa been a very snowy winter so far. During one storm we received about 50cm at one time; we probably had already that much on the ground. However last week we had warm weather and all the snow disappeard so Sunday when we celebrated Beth's 81st birthday we hadno snow no ice on the lake and our younger grandchildren were kind of disappointed. We did get about 10cm snow on Monday. And we had a beautiful time with about 20 of our children and grandchildren. We just thank the Lord for His goodness and faithfulness.
