we've survived!

after months of planning, the party went off without a hitch (or is it glitch?)! whatever, it went so well! we had a great time! just enough people for dad. we had a number of previous students as well as old friends show up, in addition to staff friends. my friends were even nice enough to show up, although they promised not to eat the food so that there would be enough for the 'real guests'. :) (they did eat!!) thanks to all of you who pitched in to help. friends who called (10-20'x ...kath and tam! :)) to see what they could do. it was awesome to have our friends, dan & gloria here and my sister!!! all the months of praying for sunshine worked!! when tammy came in, she said that above her house, it was cloudy but miraculously, it was sunny on the visser road! God is good! :) i'll post a bunch of pictures, summing up the last week. on friday, we're off to camp with the wiersmas before more company comes in.
