Labor Day Week-end!

We are finally getting a little settled in our new home! Boy, has it taken us a long time! Our get-up and go has got up and went!! Last evening we had a thunder storm and had a nice rain. The temperature dropped, so that is nice. It was in the high 80's today. So that is a big break from three digit temperatures....I am not complaining, because we love it here. The winters are so wonderfully great. So nice not to have to get out all your winter clothes, shoveling snow, and have to stay home because the roads are bad: and the snowbirds will soon be returning, so we are looking forward to that. We have lovely times together. We look forward to our daughter and granddaughter coming this week. We miss them all so much. Seems really strange not to be at the NW convs. Washington was a great experience in our life..it was an oasis in the desert to us. A very enriching experience! We didn't choose it, but didn't refuse it either. We have some dear friends and workers there. We'll never forget them, and what they have meant and mean to us. You all have a great Labor Day week-end. Tomorrow is a big day for us with two mtgs. but Monday we just plan to stay home and play catch-up!!

Family Reunion!

It was a lovely day in May, at a park in Kansas. The park and lake were beautiful, and the temperature was just right. This was the first reunion in our family so it was very special. Some of us were together in 2000 for Gerrit and Rosa's 50th, and Gerrit's 80th birthday, but all of my brothers and sisters had not been together since our mother died in 1991. There was around 80 of us together and maybe another 50 or more couldn't make it. Our sister, June, died in 1996. It was very special to see all who made it, and sorry the rest couldn't make it. Thanks to those who planned it.

On Our Way Home!
