Around the World Part 2

We had gathering after gathering starting in Michigan!  With Brown City camp in progress, we had gobs of family surrounding us at all times!  We needed a glossary to keep track of everyone and we were totally lost with all the kids of our nieces and nephews!  Betty, Esther, Ruth and their two brothers, now departed, have created a world of relatives!    Jim and Shirley were only a few of the welcome! (Lori stayed thru Mich.)
                                                   











After Brown City,  we headed for Indiana - connected
with our wonderful friends and had a great reunion in Wakarusa
with Tammy, Rick, Kim and Tom.









Then back to Michigan where we connected with Jane and Larry from North Carolina. Over the years, friendships and family have added new dimensions to our spiritual enrichment. All these blessings and contacts consumed our thoughts as we headed to Texas by air. Esther was delighted to gather round our great grand children  Roly and Candy are the center of activity.  We celebrated birthdays, grands and greats!
And, of course had several rides on Roly's new boat with Tyler scouting out the catfish!  The big event in celebration was a Medieval Times dinner/show enjoyed by our birthday troop!  We have difficulty expressing our love and gratitude for all the gifts of love showered upon us along this journey, especially appreciated at our age!
