We're still leaders after 35 years!

Yes, we're still working in AWANA clubs at our church. Richard is currently the leader for the T&T boys club. I'm the leader of the T&T girls club. We had a very large attendance last Monday night; There were 16 boys and 15 girls.

It is exciting to see how these kids will respond to God's Word as they memorize and listen to lessons about God.

Today is a good day. I filled in last week for my secretary while she took a week of vacation, so today I'm not needed in the office as much. Whew. I did get tired last week. Praise God that we are able to pay a secretary to help with the phone-answering, billing, posting, and a varity of other office type jobs. That way I can review the office work and still be mom and grandma at home.

I added a picture of Michael, Jenny, Aaron, and Evan Muth. They claimed that this was their first self photo of family as a four-some. The picture of Malcham was taken on his 16th birthday last June; Richard and I attended our local Balloon Festival a couple of Saturdays ago.

As you can see from the pictures, we were able to visit with Tim, Joy, and their family, too. It was great to see so many grandchildren together. The sister picture is Joy Muth, Mary Pope, and Anna Parker. The brothers' picture is of Tim Muth, Tom Parker, and Malcham Muth. Just so you can see that Richard and I were both there, I will include our pics, too.

Visit from Anna and her family

Last week, our oldest daughter, Anna, and her youngest, Bryce, came for a visit. We had a great time visiting and playing games. The rest of her family, Tom, Christian, and Karissa, joined us later in the week. We were able to attend OBCS school reunion and watch fireworks together for the 4th of July celebrations. Here are some pictures:

Mountain escape

Recently, I was invited to visit The Big Cabin of a friend of mine, Pam Miner. The cabin belongs to her folks. We had a wonderful time. I was even able to take this awsome picture of a deer near there.
