Good morning folks! Hope everyone is well.
Koffi from Togo spent 15 jam packed days with us. He was enjoyed by all and he was really glad to get to do all he did. Fishing, hiking to the plateau, riding with the kids, doing chores, shooting, visiting with many, playing in the playground (yes! although he is 24... :)...)We prayed for him on the last day and he seemed to be touched by it all. Says he wants to bring his parents and sisters next time. We are already missing him, especially the kids...they did such a good job of taking him around.
We got some much needed rain over the weekend. Wendy, Miss Judy, and I have been frustrated because Tony fertilized the lawns and said we couldn't’t mow till it rained on the fertilizer. Now we have hay fields for lawns to mow! And, it hasn’t quite decided whether it really is going to stop raining or not so we may be further frustrated.
Last week, Steve Arsenault took our morning devotions so we had “church” nearly every morning. His wife did one morning so that was a normal morning for us. Steve preached on Wednesday night too. He talked so much last week that I’m having trouble remembering what his theme was since he must have had many.
The Mitchells are here for their yearly visit. They arrived on Saturday. Last night was wild on the playground with all the children getting reacquainted and figuring out how they fit into the new set up of friends. Jon Leo was in the mix too.
Seth Fouse, Jarred Milliron, and Garth Milliron are working in Northway, AK, on a big job that will take several weeks this summer. Seth twisted his ankle right before going last week so he’s working a little slow.
Garth bought ice cream and ice cream sandwhiches to sell over the summer. That has been a great hit – to have ice cream at our finger tips, sort of.
Yesterday was Tony and Wendy’s and Bill and Kathy Casey’s wedding anniversary.
May will be going in to Fairbanks to take her final driving test. She confided in me that she thinks she has decided that she does not enjoy driving but finds it something necessary...hope she passes. Pat and self have been taking her in various vehicles so that she can get more practice, which her instructor says she is sadly lacking...
Stacey and Peter got home from their honeymoon on Saturday. They went to Jamaica and are all tanned.
Penny Clark was out this weekend for a little while. It sure was nice to see her.
Various people have diff. relatives and kids w/o parents here visiting.
Have a nice week!
