Sue's Views

We had some surprise visitors all the way from Washington pop in on Saturday night. What a thrill. Now I know how Mom and Dad must have felt when the four of us showed up on their doorstep. We've had a super time so far. I took today off (Monday) and they are going to be heading up to Adam's family camp in Houghton tomorrow. We walked down the street so Adam could fish, but the dogs enjoyed swimming and splashing as did the Grandsons. So any hopes of catching any fish were flushed down the river. We went to church where Jett did his "thing" during the hymns, and Candy and I had that gush of happiness streaming down our cheeks as we sang together in the "Big House". Later we took them to see the elk and did a deer run down on Farrier road where Don lives. The boys were intrigued by my gourds, and got into painting thier own creations yesterday. I cooked a roast and potatoes and beans for dinner. We were pretty wiped out after a full day of excitement. Adam drove one stretch 36 hours. They left on Wednesday night and made here at 10:00 Saturday evening. We have lots of ideas for today, but their still sleeping right now. The boys have their dirt bikes ready to let loose on their camp porperty. The two dogs have been getting along beautifully. As Nancy said, if you want something bad enough, keep praying for it, and boy did I pray; night after night. I couldn't see how it would be possible to see them with ticket prices the way they have been. It is truly a blessed event. The power of prayer is alive as I hold each moment dear to my heart during their stay. It's so great to be able to see and hear their personalities and the topper was last night. As we were driving to see the dear all in packed into the Tuohimaa van, Dayne said out of the blue, "I love you, Grandma!!!!" Aw-w-w-! Does it get any better?

Love, Sue
