A surprise visit from Sam Liu and Jim Brown traveling on their motorcycles up the cost to WA. I was able to give them dinner and they spent the night with us and we sent them off with a nice breakfast. We had a lot of laughs and good fellowship.

My group from the Faith Center's retreat got together at the Gingerbread Mansion for tea hosted by Kelley. What a blessing to be with this group of women.

The Magnolia

The fence is so nice and the Magnolia is so pretty.

Our part of the fence is almost finished. It took our Magnolia 25 years to bloom where we could see it and take pictures.

Aug. is a busy time in the back yard for a new fence the back neighbor is having put up and for Tom building a retaining wall.

What a blessing to have 4 Uganda children and their chaperone stay with us for 3 nights. There were 10 children and 4 adults traveling for 11 months singing in different churches. Deo 12 yrs., Shanet 12, Rose 10, Joseph 9, and Alisha the adult from Maryland. What a joy!
