Keith and Linda's

The big news at Keith's house was his new truck. He will be driving for a logging company. He is excited that a decision was finally made.

There was a drive in fly in breakfast at the local airport the day after we arrived. Keith was cooking eggs. Kelly, Olivia and Heather and I were checking out the planes but it was soooo cold!












Grandpa and Alek traded cowboy hats. Alek always says, "Yipee Ki Yay, Grandpa!"

Visit with Jeff and Thelma

We stopped by Jeff's Juke Joint on the way to Keith and Linda's house. Thelma worked hard while Jeff, Jesse and I chatted. Jeff recently quit his job and rededicated his life to Jesus. He seemed so much more at peace than I have seen him in a long time and he looked much better also.

Thelma was being goofy for the photos!

Rick's Kitty

A stray kitty has found a home with Rick. He tried to find his owner without any success and so "Kitty" has found a new home.

MQX Webcam

Rick took pictures on his computer while we were waiting to wave at him and the grandchildren on the MQX webcam. We did this when they were in Africa the year before. It was kind of neat.


We rented a wheelchair this year as Jesse's legs were giving out by the end of the day. I emailed a couple of people that I was hoping that pushing him around would get rid of this flabby stuff under my arms :-)
