Today Emily spent the day at home.  It's cold in Chattanooga, so she had a fire going to take the chill off in the house.   She has made a resolution to work on her organization.  She is spending part of most days doing something large or small in that area.  While her computer was being worked on, she took the opportunity to work on the office area where the computer usually is.  She made a big dent in getting it straightened out. 

Today Amy came over and helped her out some.  Many years ago, a young pastor named Martin Rudolph and his wife Margie served the church in Mount Victory.  They became friends of the family and over the years, Emily and Gene kept up with them - seeing them from time to time.  Some years ago after Lynn moved to Chattanooga, she discovered that Shirley, the Rudolphs daughter lived nearby.  Amy is Shirley's daughter. 
When Emily and Gene moved to Chattanooga, one of their first connections was with the Rudolphs.  They enjoyed re-establishing the relationship.  Shirley and her children have continued to be a support for Emily, and she often has Amy do work around the house.
