We say goodbye to new friends and stay in touch with old and new; watch our babies grow, our children and grandchildren moving on in life; we continue our labors whatever they may be; we eat, sleep, exercise, and enjoy life. Is this beginning to sound like Ecclesiastes, except that the Teacher there starts out saying all is meaningless. By the end, he concludes: Fear God and obey...
Here are the highlights of the ongoingness of life this week.
Sunday we enjoyed our friends from Spain and I interpreted again both morning and evening. Then it was time to say goodbye.

Is that a perplexed look? "Is BSU the place for me?"
Hunting season has begun. Mike was out bow hunting nearly every day. He saw a few good sized bucks, but no success yet. Son Stephan joined him when gun season opened.

Beautiful weather all week allowed for one more paseo en bici (bike ride)!
I love your new look!!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you had a great week! But please tell Mike to leave the deer alone and start making some more butter bells! ha!
I was actually surprised at how many people showed up to church today...typically on the first Sunday of gun season, we have about 1/2 the amount of people!
I always love your bike/shadow pics!!
Great pictures Rita. I have come to the conclusion that the quality of the camera is only half of the matter. Knowing how and what to take pictures of is the other half, and you seem to have them both. I enjoy them.
ReplyDeleteYes, yes I HAD noticed that the world is taller than you :)
ReplyDeleteLOVE the bicycle picture! That is so cool - & something I never even look for. I'll have to keep my eye out for interesting shadows this week.
That is seriously the coolest photo of your shadow on bikes!
ReplyDeleteLooks like another busy week of (mostly) family activities :)
I'll check with Sharon about what you can bring to the dinner next week. I'll be seeing her today as we go shop for a dress for me (my MOTB outfit).
