We traveled to NJ for my step mother's funeral. She has been a part of our lives for 44 years. She was 94 years old and wanted to live to 100!
The happy part of attending a funeral is getting to see and visit with many family and friends we have not seen for perhaps years.
This is my Dad(on the left) and his brother, Uncle Peter. They enjoy each others company so much and you can sure see the family resemblance.
Amy came up with her children and they enjoyed meeting new cousins and being entertained by the ipad during the 4 hour viewing.
These are Jane's three daughters. From left to right: Margi, Zan, and Betsy. We helped with many things on Saturday in getting ready for the viewing on Sunday.
This picture is at Dad's house and includes Jim, Dad and Amy. We had a wonderful visit together.
Jim and I stayed at my sister, Cindy's house with her husband Peter. Across the street neighbors had a new golden retriever puppy we went over to visit. It was so fun, such a cute puppy!
Cindy had made a trip to the Lenox outlet before I arrived and bought this lovely serving dish for me!!
About the only sewing I did this week was to add a balancing strap to this gown for my neighbors daughter who is attending the Air Force Academy and will have a ring ceremony this coming week.
I was a little tough for me, because I did not want to damage the gown and it had a lot of beading in the places I needed to sew....but she was happy with the way it turned out and thats all that matters, right?
The biggest news of this week!!! We received our mission call to the San Diego, CA Mission serving as military specialists for the Marine Corp Recruiting Depot!
We are very excited to serve the Lord in this capacity and know we and our loved ones will be blessed as we serve.
