June brought joy with Auntie Joyce visiting us in our new location. We hiked the mountains, saw frozen lakes, beautiful wildflowers in bloom and wildlife of various kinds!
We journeyed to Ontario in late June for a special July 1st Celebration - Geraldine's father turned 80 years! We praise and thank our dear Lord for His preserving grace in his life all those years, despite health concerns and various trials. God has been good - His faithfulness is new every morning.
It was a joy to cook breakfast for my dear father, and what better way to celebrate Canada Day than to have pancakes with fresh strawberries and real whipping cream!
We enjoyed beautiful fellowship that day with so many family..God's goodness and blessings were celebrated as well as a warning not to reject His grace and favour (Deuteronomy 6:1-15). Here are some photos of the generations from those 80 years:
Reina, oldest child
Amy and Sarah with covenant children in their womb (two granddaughters, born in July and August)
....and the other 4 children (and spouses), 21 grandchildren, and 7 great grandchildren!
The boys had a great time with their cousins.
Enroute to Ontario we enjoyed sweet fellowship with Aunt Reinie & Uncle Rog in Michigan - she had to photograph Albert's car towing the Airstream to prove to colleagues that it really did pull it!
....and dear friends who enjoy sailing...the boys are looking forward to a calm day to sail, Robert!
Although noisy, the boys had a blast with Scottie playing drums and guitars. Thanks for your hospitality Jude & Tone!
Always fun to play with friends of the same age and share great food and drink and conversation with dear friends.
We were blessed also to visit Albert's only surviving aunt from his father's family and uncle. We were able to connect with friends from our previous, brief stay in Chatham.
...and dear friends from our Riverside brethren!
We praise God for you all and your love shown to us in so many ways!
