Lots has happened since I last wrote. At the house, we had sold our fifth wheel and got a storage shed in it’s place. We have painted that and the pergola on our patio. We are waiting for a delivery of polycarbonate corrugated roofing for the pergola. Then, maybe, perhaps, hopefully, we will be done with major projects. We will need to paint the house again soon. I guess you are never really done with projects for your home. Our cherry trees are producing gobs of delicious fruit right now and no time to pick them and preserve them.
Last month we had an event for Velocity called “Superhero Dodgeball”. We all dressed up in our own super hero personas, played dodgeball, went out to eat at Grinde’s and went to the Avenger’s movie (all while dressed up).
Two years ago, Shannon Carollo and I made it our goal to hike the 6 mile trail through the Bruneau Dunes State Park. Just hiking to the top of one of the tall dunes is exhausting, to hike the whole six miles is much more exhausting. Michelle wanted to join us too. So, right before Shannon and husband Mike moved to Japan, we hiked that 6 mile trail. We were all very sore the next day, but we did it!
I got to attend a Beth Moore conference in Boise with around 25 other gals from the base. Ed helped plan and attended a men’s retreat with around a dozen guys from the base.
We had a crowd here for a Memorial Day weekend get together. It was raining so everyone packed into our house. Eric and Janet Thimell (missionaries with Cadence) are looking into joining us here. They came up that weekend. We sure hope they do get to come back and stay. The third picture below is us with the Thimells.
Sadly, as I mentioned before, it was time to say good bye to Chaplain Mike and his dear wife Shannon. They just moved to Japan. We had a sendoff for them with the theme of Godzilla/Sumo. We are grateful to God for letting us have this dear couple here for two years.
We had the privilege to visit Bible Baptist Church in Payette, Idaho. They have been very supportive of us since we joined Cadence. We brought the Coleman family with us so they could speak about the exciting things happening on the base.
Here we are pictured with the Colemans and the Zaklans (the pastor).
Our summer looks to be very busy. Highlights for us will be to see our children and grandchildren. I will try to do better and keep the blog updated more frequently.
