Dear Family,
Lovely and of Good Report - Mom & Dad finished plantitng the flowers in the front yard and deck (Mom), and the vegetables in the newly completed “Square Foot Garden” (Dad). It is such a relief to get that done.
Sharing the Gospel - Dad & Mom went with the Elders to teach Manuela Ruiz. Dad took the Elders and an investigator to the Mission Fireside in Livonia.
Making Memories - If having fun is any measure, the Family campout was a great success. Baseball, toad catching, campfire, smores, glow sticks, sleeping in a tent, playing in the water fountain, Lincoln logs, games, etc. were a part of the Friday evening fun. The next morning with little Rex in the old (1973 vintage) backpack, Papa went for a walk to show him all the neighborhood sights. Nona and the rest of the “campers” visted, talked and laughed as the guys returned form playing baskedtball and the grandkids woke up in the tent. The pancake, potatoes and egg breakfast was a very well attended and filling event enjoyed by all the particpants. It is such a joy to see the kids and grandkids all enjoying being with one another.
Date Night - Mom & Dad had a relaxing shrimp dinner at Red Lobster and met Ryan & Maureen at Lowe’s to help pick out the carpet and cabinets for the basement project. Afterward, at the request of Abby and Sarah, Lara called to have an iChat - video call - with Papa and Nona, who enjoyed very much the news, sights and sounds of their action packed family. Thanks to everyone for their part in making such a wonderful weekend for us all. Tomorrow, we will get together one more time to grill some burgers and enjoy the holiday and to remember those who given their all for our freedom. We hope the weather holds up. It is been great lately but they are predicting thunderstorms for Monday. We’ll see.
Love y’all,
Mom & Dad
