Day 508

We had a good worship, followed by great fellowship with our Visalia church family.  The remainder of the day has been spent taking care of business and relaxing.

Day 507

Had the monthly breakfast with our Tulare crew: Ben & Alice Bennett, along with Alice's brother, James; Darrel & Linnea Thompson, our daughter's in-laws; Harmon & Dawn Atwater, with two of their great-grandchildren, Samantha and Makayla.  Following breakfast we picked up books from Sean & Heather Bothwell for our grandkids.  And then, a special treat, we listened to a radio broadcast on Hometown Heroes -- an interview with our very special friend, Harmon Atwater.  He is a true American hero who won a Silver Star at Normandy and a Purple Heart at the Battle of the Bulge.  You will be able to download this interview when they post it at kmjnow.com   And now we are on our way to Chukchansi for a free Tower of Power concert.  I am only posting one picture of Harmon & Dawn Atwater, who have been married for 68 years.

Day 506

Went to the movies with the family and saw Gulliver's Travels.  Not great, but fun.  It was good to be with the family.

Day 505

Another relaxing day around the RV.

Day 504

Just another wonderful day in our lives.  Nothing exciting, but great just the same!

Day 503

We enjoyed time with Ashley and Ethan today and then relaxed.

Days 499 - 502

Wedding Slideshow Well, I have neglected our blog for several days now.  You cannot believe how busy we have been!  We enjoyed a great shower, bachelor party, wedding ceremony, and reception.  The blending of families came off without a hitch.  We are extremely happy for our daughter and new son-in-law.  Stephen is a real gentleman who honors our daughter, exalting her as a woman of value, loving her children as his own, and treating us like family.  This is such a contrast to what we have been experiencing for many years.  I am grateful for Shannon's first marriage because that union brought us two very wonderful grandchildren.  However, I am even more thankful that she and the kids will now be under the guidance and protection of such a good, God-fearing, man.  The slideshow has 304 pictures, but they are pretty great...enjoy!
