A Visit From South Korea

When some brethren from South Korea came to visit last year we were privileged to go out to dinner with them. We were persuaded to order this after much cajoling from our host and Mr. Shin. One whole lobster, complete with "nut crackers" and pics. Bruce and I shared this meal, for your information. And it was delish!


Mr. Shin and his wife also got the lobster.


Hannah and Mr. J were a little more conservative with steak and fish.  


Rob, Peter and Walter flabbergasted by their meals. 


Kasia, Wayne and Jan digging in.


Some of us got dessert. Certainly not me!



I can't remember, but I think we rolled out of the restaurant.

Bocci



We had a crowd over by default. The kids were playing volleyball at the park and ended up at our house. This game looks like a lot of fun. I don't know. I don't play but from the sounds emmanating from the back yard it sounded like a riot of some sort. Just a friendly competition between the guys and the gals. The gals gave up and came inside to read, knit and fix dinner.

A Sunday School Treat

A recital of many, many verses. (The most I have ever heard any one recite!)
"Dorcas Had a Needle, David Had a Sling"
Bethany, Abby, Morgan, Tara, Josiah
"This Little Light of Mine"
Hannah, Melissa, and Chloe

Just a few pictures from our Sunday School Treat. As you can tell it's not only for the kids! I think the parents had fun too.

Conference 2007

I wanted to get these pictures up without delaying any longer. So busy. So little time. You'll have to be content with short blurbs.
Technical difficulties. We blew a fuse. Has to happen at least once. (Don't ask about the food mishap. But I will say that everything worked out fine and no one the wiser. There are tricks when you cook for 250--Sort of like "Rob Peter to pay Paul"?)
A sisters' meeting.
A happy baby. (meeting is over?)
And another one.
Time out for the kids.
A very serious talk?
Time for meetin'.
Fresh air. (It must have been over 90 degrees in the meeting room!)

Break Time!

Sure Return

I'm finally back! (Much to your joy, I'm sure.) We had a great time in CA but it seemed so short even though we were gone for almost two weeks.

It was our normal CA trip: down to Burbank in a straight shot-- 26 hours, which included a roadside stint of two hours while we tried to figure out how to get chains off our tires. (Arrgh! We had to put on chains for slush that lasted for two miles, maximum. They even had inspectors out to make sure we put them on.)

We took in the Conference for three days...very exercising, encouraging and profitable.

Out to the beach for the day,






and then to Hemet for the rest of the trip.


"Fun" at Target with the sisters.




We stayed at Gramma's this time and were in and out daily before she even had time to catch her breath. It looks like Auntie's had it.

Believe it or not, I had time to finish three projects! The little orange hat is not exactly how I want it so needs a bit more work.

The booties turned out perfectly. I just love to work with variagated yarn.

There really are two of these socks. It's just that I gave them away before I could get a picture of the pair.

When we left CA we were starting to get sick but still had enough energy to "discuss" hot topics and issues with some of the kids. I tell you, 22 hours (the time it took to get home) is enough time to discuss anything under the sun.

A Sunday School Treat

A few weeks ago (earlier this summer!) we had our annual Sunday School Treat. This year was in a wonderful park right behind G and D's house. What a hidden secret! We just about had the park to ourselves for the whole time. No one seemed to know about it and that suited us fine. It's not often that you get a public park in the middle of the city all to yourselves.

Lots was happening that day.

An engagement was announced! We're so excited for R and C. They will be living here, I think. At least for the time being.


She's from Montreal but has been out here so much we claim her for our own. This month (!) they'll be married if all goes well. We couldn't be more pleased.





Lots of food, lots of games and two more babies to go. (At that time!)



Sunday School Picnic

G was able to put together some stilts that had us rocking with laughter








(and some clapping with glee!) for all the entertainment they provided.


Lots of yummy rich food

Plenty of music, song and a message from the Bible



Double the fun

A challenge for only the bravest and steadiest
