Wow! I love my grandkid time - but I sure have found that a major deterrent to writing in the blog. In addition to my adorable grandkids there has been a LOT going on! Some I will wait to share....but the good times have included:
Exciting progress on one of my bucket list items - - I will report on that when it comes to fruition....
July 29-30 A trip to Leavenworth to see THE SOUND OF MUSIC in an outdoor theater. Two daughters, 6 grandkids, Pa and I were on the trip. The salient highlights of the trip were the production - and my visit with my friend, Lucy, for a few hours on Friday the 30th. We first met when we were 8 years old. Now she and her husband are up to their gills in being antique dealers - - in a wonderful shop with lots of dealers in Cashmere. What a treat!
July 31 Helped with Children's Church for the Saturday night worship service.
August 1 I was a last-minute fill-in helper for Children's worship for the 11:00 a m service
August 1 Two grandkids came for overnight - and 2 more came for Monday, for a total of 4. The only reason the other two weren't here was that they were at summer camp!
August 3 I had 4 of my college friends here for dinner. Of that group, 3 are pastors. What a treat to have that shared time. I would have loved for it to last longer - but what a gift. I'm 'logging on' for a longer visit when we get to heaven! I relish the memory of it. With the visit with Lucy in Cashmere, and then the visit with Dave, Judy, Dan and Anita on Tuesday, it just extended the 1960's College Reunion ambiance! What a joy! What memories!
August 5 My brother Ken arrived for a visit (from Idaho).
August 6 we celebrated my eldest grandson's GED. All 4 of our kids were there - a rare treat. We didn't have the 2 kids who were away at camp - or one son-in-law who was in his softball league state championship - but considering how hard it is to get everyone together - it was good!
That night, Erin and her two youngest stayed overnight so they could go pick Mak up at camp the next morning, and Kami was here overnight - and my brother - so it was a fairly full house.
August 8 we entertained a group of 30 for the West Tacoma Newsprint Reunion.
August 9 I spent the day with my brother, Ken.
August 10 The Meyer kids came down to spend the night. Ken stayed to see them - then headed south about 2 p m.
August 11 That's today! I had the Olson kids for the day - plus the 3 Meyers until about 1:30....
That's the nutshell version.
Just want you to know I have missed getting to write - - and have missed my pursuit for finding answers - - or at least defining questions - - regarding the eschatological quest.
Hope I can get back to this soon - - but it seems that the other blogs I read regularly are in the same boat - busy!
I planned to add a couple of other photos - but it isn't working....so I'll hope to do that later....
