Go West, Young Man

                                             

Father and son cycling in Colorado and Utah

We camped in really diverse places, including at Lake Powell
and at 10,000 feet near Cedar Breaks in very cold and windy weather

              

                      Happy Father's Day

                             When I saw this painting in a book, I was moved, and I immediately
                              thought of John and Jacob. 
                                         

                  In honor of the Queen's Jubilee

                               Long has she reigned!

I like bunting. And I like England.
(As immigrant children in Canada, we quickly learned to sing "God Save the Queen", as well as "Oh Canada"...)




Happy Birthday, dearest Jacob         May 21





                                                             






                  

                    Carrolton Branch

John and Pres. Graves, Carrolton branch president

A few Sundays ago, John and I spoke in this little branch. They meet in a store front right on the Ohio River. The simplicity of the setting and the gratitude and humble kindnss of the members reminded us of some of the D'dorf mission days. It was a lovely and special experience we will long remember.
