A coincidence – tavern called Webers right down the street in the very small town my Dad grew up in…but no relation.

Sad day – our family friend Angel.  Loving, dedicated, great dog for 14 years.  Had to put her down after her pain was overwhelming.  Vet thought she would only last the first 2 months of our Jesus Journey.  However, we were blessed with her approx 8 months.  We believe the Journey provided some of the best days of her life.
