The first of June we still had Jesse, Julie and Dawson with us. I LOVED having them here. My dad came over from Prineville, Oregon and picked up my grandma (Ontario, Oregon) to be with us. We took some priceless 5 generation pictures.
Pictured here: Great Grandpa Page, Great-Great Grandma Page, Dawson, Grandma Buri and Mama Cornell.
Jesse spent a good portion of his time here helping us improve our home. He painted our kitchen cabinets white. They were dark green before. It was so dark in the kitchen that it was almost depressing. What a difference the white makes!
He installed a new floor in our entry way and hallways. He worked so hard. We are grateful!
Supporters of ours gave us monies to do the home improvements. We had new free standing cabinets installed in the former dining room to expand the kitchen. Our kitchen was getting too small to meet our demands. This helps so much.
We also had a rolling kitchen island custom made for our space.
The time flew by and I had to say good bye to the Cornell family. Here is a picture of Dawson and me at the airport.
We were blessed to attend our mission’s (Cadence International) staff conference at the Green Lake Conference Center in Wisconsin. What a gorgeous facility. There is a beautiful prairie with millions of wildflowers on the property.
I hiked to the top of the Judson tower that overlooks the property.
Below is the view from our room at the center at sunrise.
The best part, however, was being with our dear friends and colleagues.
Tim Bettger and Ed renewed their friendship and Ed enjoyed being with Tim very much.
We also got to be with our dear Jennessa.
I was pretty lazy about taking pictures this time and don’t have very many more people pictures. I was greatly encouraged by my conversations and prayers with loved ones there. We came away refreshed and ready for ministry.
On the way to the airport in Madison, Ed and I had just enough time to check out the Wisconsin Dells. We rode the “Duck”. I had never been on an amphibious vehicle before.
As soon as we landed in Boise, ministry demands came calling (literally!).
