Holiday With Family

The best times are times with family. We are in Kennewick at David's and family is the main activity. The twins (who turn eleven tomorrow) are constantly in the pool, and even Tabitha went in with Papa John. We have done a Dairy Queen eat-out, Bar-B-Q burgers and Polish sausage on the grill, cold cut sandwiches, and plenty of snacks. Yesterday David and Edwin went flying around the tri-cities area while Papa John took the girls to Home Depot for the Saturday morning craft building project event (they made CD racks). There have been trips to the mall and a viewing of the Disney movie "Cars", an errand to Home Depot, a trip to Wal-Mart, another to Yokes (a really neat fresh-foods grocery market), a drive-about, and this morning time with friends at the Richland Church of Christ.

All of us, especially the twins and Tabby, are missing Katie and Payton who took advantage of the long holiday to visit the other grandma in Oklahoma with their mother Paige.

Meanwhile, we are looking forward now to an evening on the river seeing whether the girls can learn to knee-board, birthday activities tomorrow with party fixings and gifts, and more B-B-Q.

If you would enjoy a reminder of what this 4th of July holiday is all about, I invite you to a website a friend just shared. I think it is worth the moments it takes to load up, even if you happen to be on a dial upconnection. The point highlighted is that our nation's founders were in contact with and in submission to God and completely aware of His prominence in establishing this country as on "Under God". This is a sentiment becoming rare in the current era, even attacked by those who are hostile to religious truth. This is a nice site to visit to reassess our origins.

Blessings on you and on your family. Be sure to enjoy them collectively and individually.
