What a great country we live in! We are so blessed, and our family experienced this 4th together in Midland, which was certainly a blessing. Carla was here to welcome her Dad home from Uganda, and Jo and Scott arrived on Friday morning, so we were able to hear his stories from the mission trip firsthand and while they were very fresh on his mind and memory. The creative girls made a DVD of all his photos, which will be a delight for us to watch...and hear even more stories. The time was spent visiting, enjoying the LaForce's swimming pool, time with Ray and Jane, our 92 year old friends here (only Ray made the picture with all his girlfriends!), playing bananagram around the kitchen table, eating fresh tomatoes from Ray's patio plants, and dining at Abuelo's, always a family favorite. Jerry preached that Sunday morning, so the kids were most pleased about that, and they had a chance to renew some friendships at church as well. We are so glad they were here with us, and we had that special time together.
