Visiting the Valiante Family





















Grandma's adventure




May 17th found me on my way to Pueblo to board my first flight to get me eventually to Pennsylvania to visit our daughter, Sarah, and her family. Here's my chance to see the very youngest of our grandchildren, Lydia Hope Valiante - born March 15th.
Everything was going very well until the airplane landed in Denver. The plane leaned to the left, letting the wing tip and propellers slide along the runway till we stopped. All nine passengers, pilot, and co-pilot had to exit the plane by way of the exit (window) over the left wing.
Doesn't that sound exciting! Thankfully, everyone was okay. Only the plane had damage.

I'm glad that God chose to spare us from whatever else "could" have happened!!!

Our son, Malcham, is trying to sell his car. It looks pretty cool, huh? He is only asking $7,000 for it. He would like to replace it with a four-door something with room for "stuff" and which has the capabilty of pulling a small trailer. Of course, if it was loaded with good sound system, that would be super. Anyway, let me know.

We held our AWANA's Fairmont Fair on Monday, April 11th. Lana helped me run the prize booth, along with Darlinda and Cherlyn.
March 21, 2011. We are in Parker, CO, getting ready for colonoscopy for me and surgery the following day. Everything is clear and went well. Praise the Lord!
Mary and I celebrate our birthdays for 2011.


Here we pose with our grandchildren, Zeph, Austin, and Ethan, before we go to the 10th Hole for supper. Mary is taking the picture. It was a nice way to celebrate birthday!
Mary thinks this picture is silly!
