Occassionally, as a parent, you do something right....
October 23rd Dan and I journeyed to Pullman, WA to hang out with our youngest son, Charlie, on his court. Besides buying meals, doing his dishes and hanging his punching bag, he really appreciated having us come and enter into his world at Washington State University. We brought him there 14 months ago as a freshman, dropped him off knowing no one (gutsy, to say the least, of the lad) and so seeing him here now shows that he has come long way. He lives in a house of six guys... it was relatively clean.... this Mom was amazed. He has a great church with some wonderful friends. We were so pleased by the life Charlie has carved out. Praise God! We got to see the way that God has answered so many of our prayers. Char has a good place to life learn and grow.....

I made Chugwater Chili too and Char shared it with a few of his pals. A Mom always wants to be sure her chick's are taken care of. The boys thought it was a real treat.
