Party for Viktor!

What a great evening with the "boys" and Tim and Karla.

Tim and Karla had a delicious supper for all of us and was great to meet

Viktor's cousin Benn from Germany. Had a wonderful evening together!

Thanks Tim and Karla, Viktor, Josh, Peter, and Steven!

what are we doing now????

Many of you have asked if i would keep up the blog when we get back to Big Valley?

Well, here we are....It is soooo good to be able to attend our granddaughters sporting events! She will be going to Districts next week. Looking forward to that also! As many of you know we are moving our son, he bought his grandmother's house, here is a photo of moving day for his clock shop and also i have been working on the 'exciting' weekend for the MCC Quilting. If any of you who have been following our journey, locally or away, and did not receive a letter, PLEASE email, phone or mail us, we want very much to have you join us for the weekend! .... also if the sun stays out, there is plenty of lawn work!!!

Until next time.....

Greetings from Big Valley: We are keeping quite busy around here. A big thank you to the

many family and friends who have had a wonderful warm welcome home for us! We are so

very blessed, and also to those of you who have emailed us since we have been home. Please

keep in touch, it is great to hear from so many of you! I took the patches up to our church and displayed them for the ladies sewing yesterday. Hopefully these photos of a few of the

quilt patches will start you planning for your weekend here in Big Valley with us! Plans are

for the weekend of June 12-14, I will be very happy to send you more information, email or

phone us and I will send it right out, or email me your address and I will mail it to you. To those of the committee that I already emailed to

a few have emailed back that they can not open my attachment, please email me back and

I will send it a different way. sorry about that! We are very excited about the weekend!

Looking forward to seeing many of you then!
