News from Capps

Greetings from Capps. We survived! Last week we welcomed winter to town and now we bid it farewell, we'll, back to more moderate temperatures and rain more appropriate for this time of year. I trust that you had a meaningful, memorable and safe Christmas, ours was simple and humble, just a small meal with our very dear friend, Najean Greer. Thanks to the Cone clan for providing the fare, (I dropped in briefly at the Cone Christmas party)as my grandiose meal plans were kiboshed by back to back fire calls to Capps Batavia Fire Department. Christmas eve, we aided Omaha with a structure fire in the center of that town. It reignited early Christmas morning and we were back on the scene for 4-5 hours. Other than that, the rest of the week was spent breaking ice, feeding cows and distributing the last of our Christmas cards to the neighbors, including Sharon Casey and Joel Blackwell. Our friend, Russell Faddis, is still in the hospital, hopefully his legs will get better so he can be a bit more mobile soon. As we enter a new year, it's always good to reflect on the trials and successes of the past year, it makes us thankful that through it all, God has been faithful. We wish you a happy new year filled with abundant blessings, Doug and Jennifer
