It was wonderful to spend time with my parents during this momentous time in their life:  my dad’s retirement!  The church had a big send off for him! I was so glad that Ashley made the trip with us!

Fun to also reconnect with my brother Jim and his family!

And to see friends from days gone by, Rollin Hooper and Joe Dickey!

I love the Texas country side!

Especially with Ashley!

We never know how much time we’ll have on this planet, nor when we’ll see our friends again.  My dad got word today that one of his dear friends had died.  Very sad.

Great to be home with MY family!
