This picture is of our son, Jeff, who came to Lawrence this weekend from Las Vegas. We were not surprised to see him because he was particularly close to these cousins, but we were surprised because we didn’t KNOW that he was coming. It was sure fun to spend some time with him, as well as all the others who could be there. Mary Beth (Gene’s daughter, who lives in Lawrence) had most of the family (I think about 17 people) staying at her house. She had a friend, who was going to be out of town, who offered her house for people to use so that we didn’t all have to go stay in hotels. Don and I and his sister, Doris, and her husband, Jerry, and Jeff all stayed in these nice people’s really nice home. Aren’t people wonderful!
We are headed to David and Dorothy’s house to play cards tonight, so I’m getting the post done early. We’ll fall right into bed when we get home.
Our friends Jo Ann and Frank are in Germany with their daughter, Kristy. Kristy’s son Jacob is stationed there after his tour in Iraq, so they are having a wonderful visit with him. This is their celebration of Jo Ann’s freedom from cancer. We got an email from Kristy saying that they are having a great time. We’ll miss them when we play cards tonight, but we thank God that they are able to make this trip.
My magnolia is blooming its heart out. I’m so pleased! This is its best year. I thank God for this treat!
