Pretty good, since Texas has 254 counties and this is our third time since 1999. Kudos to Mary Duke for helping us get there again and many thanks to all of our county's volunteers! Joe D. Deaver CONGRATULATIONS!!! JOB WELL DONE. AND ... by the way, are all of you OK? I saw on the weather channel that your area was under a 'severe' storm warning. >>>PRAISE THE NAME OF THE LORD!!!!

DIEU TE BENISSE!!! GOD BLESS!!! Macile HAPPY NEW YEAR
