Rodeo at Sisters, Oregon



We (Susan, Mark, Eli, Curren and I) went to the rodeo at Sisters, OR - a town close to Bend - on Saturday afternoon, along with Uncle Jerry, Aunt Vevi, Kari and her friends, Erica and Johnny from Ireland. To most of us, the world of the rodeo is new territory. It was exciting and lots of fun to watch. (Floyd is still away on his recruiting trip to South America.)

Equator in Ecuador

Floyd is finding himself in all kinds of amazing places, and sorry that he doesn't have the time to do more investigating. Doing College Fairs and visiting schools is the reason for all the travel.
Meanwhile, he's greatly missed here at home!! Home on Sunday, 9/28th.

Revisions

Susan had emergency surgery on Monday evening for a tubal pregnancy.
We are so thankful for good doctors, hospitals and staff when you need them!!!
Susan is doing well. She just moves more slowly for the next few days.

We never know what a day may bring, but we certainly are grateful for
the promptings of God and for His care!!

We are grateful for friends who generously show their love by meals brought in, phone calls and visits.

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.

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!
