Cybersalt News
Sunday greetings everyone!
There was no mailing last Chicken Thursday. Grandma Cybersalt and I finally took advantage of a getaway that our church generously gave us when I retired from pastoring local churches back in October of 2017. As you can see by this picture we were also able to make a day trip to Avatar Grove, part of the incredible ancient rain forest on Vancouver Island.

Enjoy the rest of today's mailing!
