The first thing I want you to notice today is that my bride is with me. Well, that is she is with me if I can get her away from the grandkids. You can see that she is getting a very professional "facial" from Inge. She worked all day Thursday and flew all Thursday night, arriving at Dulles Airport at 6:20 eastern time this morning and we drove straight down to our son's house which was 2 1/2 hours away. Yes, she is tired, but it is so good to have her with me for a few days.
The lovely couple with the farm implements are Julie's in-laws, Norm and Carol Wootton and we have been good friends for 22 years! I just wanted to show you the WV side of the family to help you understand why we live in California! (JUST KIDDING!)
The rest of the pics just show some of the beauty of West Virginia's northeast corner. Julie and I spent the day in Shepherdstown and then shared the evening with Norm, Carol, and her husband T. I couldn't resist the bird picture and I'm glad I got it. That is a crested wax wing and it is very rare to see one that far south. I love to take pictures of animal life, flowers, sunsets, and other aspects of creation that God has given us to enjoy. I hope you enjoy them too.
Today we are just resting (as much as a 4 and 6 year old will allow you to rest) and looking forward to a couple of days here and then on Sunday we head back up to Julie's and Monday morning I'm on my way home and will arrive on July 23. Everything has gone so well, step by step, and I'm trusting God to bring me safely home with lots of material to sort through. I have already learned a great deal and am very excited about many aspects of it.
Enjoy your 4th of July weekend. I am excited that our church is participating in the local parade and am also excited about many of the other things that I see on our horizon. Just a few more days and it's "back in the saddle again!"
