Family visits
both Sondra and I got to visit with family last weekend. Unfortunately, the pictures won't load! So frustrating. My son, Josh, was married to a beautiful bride. They live in Colorado, but the wedding was in Albuquerque. My siblings, and Caleb and Kat, along with several cousins, and Danny's siblings were all there. We had a great time. Sondra went to see her sister in Oklahoma City, and had a great visit. We enjoyed San Francisco both before we went and for a day when we got back. We are now in Hawaii. At some point in time, I will get pictures posted. The blasted Internet won't cooperate half the time. Going on a cruise here, so it may be awhile before I post again, hopefully with pictures.

Crater Lake is beyond description |
We have been visiting the many wonders of God's creation. Hard to describe most of what we are seeing. Sondra got to go on a hike that was a bit of a challenge, fording streams, walking on logs, and climbing over tree trunks. She survived. I love waterfalls and we have seen some beautiful ones. Oregon is an awesome state. Those that haven't been should put it on their bucket list. We have had some modern conveniences, sometimes phone works, internet works, and at a few campgrounds even TV. We have been blessed with finding churches along the way. At the one today, the people were really friendly. Several families had lost their homes to fire and others evacuated and not sure of the status of their house yet. Pray for those affected by fire in Northwest. The smoke is quite heavy where we are today about 75 miles north of San Francisco. Next week, I am off to my oldest son's wedding. It will be great to see most of my family there. I love his wife to be. Sondra is off to visit her sister in Oklahoma. When we get back to California, we are off to Hawaii. For those in South Florida, we plan to be home the first part of December. Looking forward to seeing our many friends.

Seattle from a ferry we took to Brementon, |
Mt. Rainier and Crater Lake are musts if you have not been there. The trees in the Northwest are really amazing. God's beautiful creation continues to amaze and impress us. We are thankful for this opportunity to see so much of our beautiful country.
