More kids and grands visit

Tomorrow Kristy and family arrive for a two day visit on their way to South Texas. The following week they leave for Costa Rica for an eight month stay for intensive language training in Spanish. This is in preparation for their new lives as missionaries. We can only applaud their good intentions, and who knows, maybe we can even visit them while they are there. This is quite a lively family with the five mostly teenager grands being great fun. Never a dull moment in this family. Our job will be to feed them and if time, to play cards or dice and enter into the non-stop conversation. Max will get lots of attention which he needs, since our quiet lives tend to be boring for a dog.

This has been a lovely summer of seeing three kids and lots of grands. Our only regret is that we have not been able to see them all.

Two of our kids and their families will be out of our country at the same time. One is currently in Brazil, and of course the other is going to Costa Rica. Another son is moving from Wisconsin to Kansas and arrives there today. There are lots of changes in the works. Happy and safe travels
