Thankful!

After doing some Saturday chores today, we decided to escape the >100 degree heat of the "valley" and headed to the coast. In honor of our 39th anniversary, we had a delicious, leisurely dinner in Oceanside, then meandered down the coast a ways before heading back home. We were going to walk on the beach after dinner, but we weren't prepared for the 40 degree drop in temperature! We are so thankful to God for the special relationship He has given us.

Special Effects

OK, I'm playing again.......:)

Running happy!!

We had Curren and Eli from noon Friday until Sunday evening while Mark and Susan were on an anniversary vacation. They are the most amazing little boys!!

Thirty-nine!

It will be 39 years this Saturday since this photo was taken. I've been "playing" with a new website: www.picnik.com. (Susan, you shouldn't have.) I'd hate to tell you how much time I've spent "playing". Did you notice the yellow rose?? :) Anyway, life is good!

Summer Schrock Picnic

Our Schrock family gathered in our backyard last evening. Vera, the mother of the clan, is seated on the far left. Her youngest son, Jerry is beside her. Her daughter Barb, is behind her, and of course, Floyd, the oldest son, is - well, you all know who he is!! We were blessed with Susan and company, Marty and company (red shirt) and Kari - all from the 3rd generation.
As you can see, the 4th generation is well represented. Missing were our Peter (CA) and Jonathan (OR), and Jerry's Jill (Ireland).
