June 24, 2015!

I'm sitting here in Montrose Pa looking forward to a visit this week from Eli and Linda and family.
My two grandchildren, Ezra and Indigo, are now 4 and 1/2 and 7 1/2 and there is also a new grandchild due September 4th.

John and I arrived back here about two weeks ago after a great spring in Florida.  During that time we
took a trip to France and also to Israel where we met our newest granddaughter, Shaya, who turned
four months old two days ago.  We also got to see Ethan, Adi and Emma.  Emma will be two next month on July 17. 

At the end of May we returned to PA via an overnight visit with Phoebe and Greg where we got to see their beautiful new backyard fenced in and gorgeous including a built-in tornado shelter.  They will be coming to Oswego, NY around July 4th for the summer.  Then on to Winona Lake, IN for a
final visit in Winona Lake with Kandace and Andrew and grandchildren, Evangeline and Malachi.
They have since moved to Grand Rapids MI where Andrew has begun a new job at Eerdmanns
Publishing.  Evie will be four years old Sept 25 and Malachi will be two years old on October 28.

Then we visited my sister Pam and her husband, Darrel, in Lanbertville MI.  We had not seen them
for eleven years.  Hard to believe.  Darrel has retired and Pam hopes to at the end of October.

Anyway it is great to be in PA.  I have not done any writing but I have helped a friend, Martha Cuomo, by giving her feedback on the book she is writing and also by encouraging my husband,
John, to finally complete The Blood Of Three Worlds.  This is the sequel to his book Earth Is Not
Alone.  He has finally finished it but it is being read and edited right now.  That task along with
writing his blog three times a week has kept him busy.

Anyway summer  is here and we are happy to be here and looking forward to appreciating each
day God gives us this year!
