Happiness

This past weekend Melody and Kevin drove up from Pasadena for the weekend. How amazing that they can do that now!

We visited Grandma and Grandpa Carson to wish them early happy birthdays since M & K will be moving to a new apartment Oct. 18 when we gather for the real birthday party. (There will be a dinner at G & G's home that evening.) Rick, Diane, Amanda and Dylan came over and we had a lot of fun hanging out. Kevin is a Lodi guy and EVERYONE in the valley relates to him! There were lots of inside Valley jokes.

Matt & Steph joined us Sunday for Peets coffee after church, followed by lunch at our house. You may be asking, "Where are the pictures of these great events?" Well, I left the chip out of my camera and couldn't take pictures for most of it, then I got busy and forgot to shoot pics when I could.

So, use your imagination. Think about lots of laughter and good-humored conversation and you will pretty much know what happened.

We really missed Andy and Whitney. I was lucky enough to see so much of my family last week that it made their absence even more poignant. God bless our famly, far and wide!
