Dad getting ready to participate with these two young guys in the reverse triathlon at Ft. Benning. He finished the 12 mile bike run at 37 minutes. Their team came in 5th overall with the other guys doing well at the running and swimming. Not bad for a grandpa, and I loved the breakfast and awards ceremony that followed!!
Hello Again
Here it is July so thought I would put a quick note on here about our lives.
The hot summer days are alive and well in Georgia, so we are trying to do most our work in the mornings and stay cool inside in the afternoons. Today I had a great experience helping the LaGrange branch feed the missionaries at their zone conference. All our units in the stake take a turn doing this, and we in stake RS supervise, so I have had the chance to work with the units several times when they come to the stake center and I love being able to. Today we had wonderful southern pulled pork sandwiches, seasoned just right with Cajun seasonings, corn on the cob, macaroni pasta salad, and huge brownies for dessert. Zak Attabery, whose Mom actually did all the food and then sent it with him to serve, cut those brownies, and they were big!! We all had fun with the Elders too, and requested they sing "The Star Spangled Banner" for us as they wanted to thank us with a song. They sounded amazingly good. they are great young men and being around them is a Joy. We all need to remember not to lose our missionary spirit!!
I have a few piano students so taught some lessons today. Tomorrow I am planning to go with my friend Annette to the temple since she goes every Wednesday and always appreciates someone to accompany her. The temple closes for its annual cleaning for the next two weeks, so this is my chance to go! I love the temple and recommend it to everyone.
Terry is thinking about a family history conference he is setting up for the Fall. He is a great husband, father and grandfather, and we are enjoying time together at this season of our lives.
He's just home from work with some things in his hand he got from the auto parts. he's good at keeping up with maintaining the car and truck. We really like our 2003 Toyota Corolla. We drive it a lot and get good gas mileage, so we are doing OK.
Bye for now and I'll try and get him to help me post some pictures.
