Dear Family,
He Lives! - Twelve years ago Mom & Dad, with Grandma Sparks, Deanna and the Stebar’s, visited the “Garden Tomb” just outside of the City of Jerusalem. This sacred experience left them with no doubt that Jesus lives. He, who once was dead, lives and we too will live forever. Happy Easter!
The Fixer - This week, Dad performed a couple of near miracles, at least, minor triumphs over matter: 1) removed spilled wax from the carpet in the family room by using an iron to melt the wax, paper towels to absorb the wax, and steam from the iron, to clean it. 2) solved the mystery of Grandma Sparks, leaking toilet - “It is quiet”
History Tourists - Mom & Dad made two trips to “The Henry Ford” this week: 1) On Monday, they visited the museum with Michael, Timon (Michael’s friend) and Guilherme. Afterward, they had a yummy dinner with Ryan at Pizza Papalis 2) On Thursday afternoon they went on the Ford factory tour to see some history of Ford Motor Company and the production process of the F-150 and later to the IMAX theater to see a 3D wildlife movie with Michael & Guilherme and dinner at the Michigan Cafe in between.
Movies ‘R’ Us - Dad watched “Ben Hur” in four installments while working out on the elliptical. Mom & Dad took Michael and Guilherme to see the “Conspirator” about post civil war America and Lincoln’s assassination. Saturday afternoon, Papa & Nona took Sam, Josh and Olivia to “Rio” an animated musical about a couple of rare blue Macaws threatened by the illegal exotic animal trade during the crazily famous “Carnaval” celebrations in beautiful Rio de Janeiro. They all liked the movie, but Nona, specially liked the Samba music. Shake yo booty!
Adult Supervision - Friday evening, Jim & Vanessa celebrated their 18th wedding anniversary and needed some adult supervision for the kids, but, instead, settled for Papa & Nona to stay with the grand buddys. It was fun to be with them: Nona played card games and Papa taught Josh & Olivia to play “Mahgong” on the computer. In the morning, Papa made waffles for breakfast and took Josh to his baseball practice and Olivia to her dance class. At Olivia’s request, Papa performed an impromptu outdoor photo shoot of Olivia in her Army style camo “Tumble Team” costume. Thankfully, the adults, Jim & Vanessa returned and as a bonus, they brought Jet’s Pizza. YES! Life is good!
Kisses & Hugs to all Love y’all,
Mom & Dad
