October 2008 Ben & Pamm Avery

It had been a long drive home after spending a week in Ontario, Canada. Ben had been interviewed by a Canadian television show. We enjoyed staying with my sister and her family. As we pulled up to our house at 1am, something was not right. In the dark it was hard to see what was standing in front of our front door. The porch seemed to be roped off and something large was placed in front of the steps. The kids thought it was a giant flashlight and ice cream cone. As we got closer, we sighed with relief. It was our own personal welcoming committee: Smilin' Hank and his wife! We let them stay in our front yard for a day and then asked them to reside in our porch until a more suitable place could be found. Lucky for Hank and his lovely wife, the Sherwood family would need their services soon...
