Hello,
It was a good time. We visited with
seminary friends that we have not often seen, but they still have a good
connection with us. We learned about their families, health, joys, and sorrows.
When we saw the entire group of the seminary class there were two people I did
not remember from the past. All of these graduates were men, because that was
the rule back then. I asked one man, “I am sorry I do not remember you. Did I know
you and just forget?”
“I do not know you,” he replied, “You
probably did not know me because I would come to class and then go home or go
to work.”
From the update at the seminary, I
suspect that, today, with all of the online students many of them will not know
each other and a 40th class reunion will not hold the same
attraction that it does for us.
It was a nice coincidence that Sophia’s
birthday party was on the same weekend and we got to share in that time with
her.
All went smoothly. Leroy even did not
complain of his hip hurting him on the way home. Course I drove for three hours
at a stretch and he just drove 1.5 hours. That might have contributed to more
moving around and keeping it easy.
We did not see any exciting wildlife
except in the park close to Brian’s house. Early in the morning a great blue
heron was checking out the fishing possibilities. We also heard some owls.
One afternoon we took the kites to the
park and tried to persuade them to go up in the air with the light breeze of
four mph or less. We did a lot of running and for some brief moments they did
get off the ground and teased us with the possibility of flight. On the next day,
we noted that the wind would have easily kept them up, but we had no time for
such frivolity.
