last 2 weeks...

Tomorrow we move into our new place. We are excited to have a more permanent home to live rather than moving around from place to place.
The last week we were graciously hosted by Charlie and Brooke Granade who is our "Next Generation" Pastor.


This past weekend we took a break from writing letters and calling to head to Long Beach on the Washington Coast. It was lovely! While it was too cool to go in the water, we had a nice long walk along the Boardwalk and through the long grasses.





Along the walk there were numerous sculpures carves from logs. One of my favorites was one of dolphins... I love dolphins!

After we were in Idaho, we drove to Colorado to visit family and friends and also have a family reunion. It was a great time to see people! We enjoyed visiting Garden of the gods and Focus on the Family in Colorado Springs and spent a fun night going with the nieces and nephews down a big twisty water slide at a hotel.



Then we headed to Estes Park YMCA. We had nights of playing Bingo, Bon fires, picnics, and also drove through Rocky Mountain National Park. A special time was family devotions.. everyone did a great job! We also all played "keep away" in the pool which everyone enjoyed.

I have way more pictures so maybe later I will add some more and comment on them... it dinner time...
We hope you all are doing well!
love,
Joy
