Celebrating 28 Years



Several of our children congratulated us on our anniversary a month ago, July 19th. But we had just learned that Dave's mom had cancer so he was making tracks to fly that direction. Faith, Katrina and our children fixed us a special meal, pork chops and all, just before he left. After he left, we got an anniversary card or two.

But now he was back so it was time to make "our" time. I tried cook some of his favorite foods for a picnic, fried chicken, potato salad, baked beans, corn on the cob, chocolate chip cookes and "flurry-style" ice cream. (Looking at the kitchen I thought of Mother's words that no one could make a mess of the kitchen as quickly as I could!) We took the food and the camera out to the lake where we had youth camp and enjoyed some time off.

After we ate, we tried to find a waterfall that had been described to us. But this time, we couldn't find our way by asking. We arrived at the village where we were told it was and were told to go to the other side of the river. There was no bridge or dam on which to cross the river, or waterfall in sight for a half mile or so either up or down the river. So we'll have to take a person who knows, next time.
