Home at last

Seems like ages since I have gotten a blog off because ....

We left early Friday am for Longview, took our car to the Honda dealer for his 90,000 mile
"surgery"..... They had him from 8:45 am until 3:30 pm so he is now in spanking new shape.
He will be around for awhile. Expensive but beats car payments!

Friday night we went to a show at the Columbia theatre in Longview with an illusionist.
Very entertaining and we appreciated him calling them illusions not magic !

Then on to Vancouver to spend the nite with Steve and Lorraine before heading to Eugene
Saturday morning for Tanners' school play. They performed Shakespear's "A Midsummer Nights Dream." VERY FUN ! Each performer looked like they were totally enjoying every minute of it as we all were too. (Ask Tanner about being a "wall.") She did a great job !!
Then had the privilage of attending the Ballet.Magnificat! performing The Scarlet Cord (version of Rahab) Sunday evening. What a treat that was! It is the ministry of Keith and Kathy Thibodeaux and we were privileged to spend some time with them as they were staying with Ken and La Chel. What a delightful couple, full of the love of the Lord ! It was a fantastic performance ! A total delight to watch.

Arrived home Monday evening and today got a phone call from Mark Elefritz and we got a date for them to come to Astoria to finally inroduce Jill to everyone around here. They will be coming on Sunday, June 1. We are looking forward to that.

So that has been our life the past few days. Back to normal again today and trying to catch up on some things.

PS Chester has a girl friend! When we got home the neighbors cat (we think) a cute little calico was rolling around and playing with him on our deck. Not sure what she was looking for but she won't get any cooperation from Chester : ) But they weren't fighting so guess she is good company for him.
