* Books:
     Amy Carmichael  I Come Quietly to Meet You
     St Augustine Confessions
     Recipe Book for GOOD breakfast snacks for  a Sunday morning youth group

* Another small/medium sized crock pot  Andy, the last one got moldy between the pot and the dish.
* We have a small chest freezer in our kitchen dining room now.  I would like easy- to-wash

All of my life I have done stockings for Christmas morning.  So I haven't quite let go of that tradition yet.  I plan to bring paper bags and put a few things in them.  Not much.  I am not asking anybody to contribute, but it could be fun if you want to.  Anything goes. Gum, fudge, books, little gadgets, wrapped or unwrapped, copies of a favorite poem or story, jokes, puzzles, clearance rack items, etc., or nothing.

Plans sound good, Renee and E.J.

Oh, one more thing (thought).  This didn't work this summer, but I want to try again to have you bring something to read aloud to others.  Joy, I still think about the stories you read at Denee's house.
