Whirlwind weekend...

It was a busy weekend for the family. We traveled Saturday up to Mt. Vernon to visit with the Cooper Family and celebrate Aunt Nadine's 90th Birthday, what a wonderful time we had. It was so great to see Nadine and to be able to spend time with Aunt Jan, Uncle Harlan and all the cousins; Tim, Kim, Brad, and Darren and their families. I couldn't believe it'd been almost 10 years since I'd seen most of them last...WOW how time flies.

Then that evening it was back over to Longview to visit with Rick, Sharyn, and Connor for a few hours before they headed off to Chicago. Rick flew in Saturday afternoon and met up with Rebecca, Sharyn's Mom in Dallas and then headed into Longview. Then it was up early Sunday morning and away they all went on their excursion to Chicago. We sure miss them already and wish them the best up north. Hopefully it won't be too long and we can get up there and see them.

Can you believe it's already November, and the second week of November at that. Holy Cow, time has flown by way too fast. If everything goes right Mark, Amber, Megan, and Josh will be in for Thanksgiving. We sure hope so. If all get to join us we'll have them, the Vallery's, Mimi and Poppi, Nana and Paw Paw, all over for Thanksgiving supper, that will be so wonderful if it comes to pass....we sure hope so.

Well everyone have a great week and continue to pray for Rick, Sharyn, Connor, and Rebecca as they finish up the second half of their trek to Chicago today.
