Enjoyed Art in the Park

Sue and I went to the 40th annual Marietta Art in the Park event today! It was like other arts and crafts things we've been to near us but it was more focused on arts than crafts. With Sue's growing experience as an artist she enjoyed talking with the vendors who were usually the artist that created what was being offered. We had some lemonade to cool off and even enjoyed some lunch in a tavern on the square. Fun! 

+++

Good visit with family

We stopped in Maryland to visit Sue's Aunt Nancy and that side of our family. We enjoyed catching up on things and just getting some time with them. Aunt Nancy is going strong in her 90s, which was fun to see. We love our family!

Great week at the beach

We had a great week in Panama City! We stayed at a condo our friends own with easy access to the beach, a great pool, and quick access to all the fun things to do there. We enjoyed walks on the beach, good food, an IMAX movie, a bunch of murals, a sunset cruise on a sail boat, and celebrating our 39th wedding anniversary. Woohoo!

Enjoyed helping at VBS

Sue and I had a great time helping at our churches VBS this week. We did the crafts with the 4 and 5 year olds each night. It was so much fun! It was even more fun to see some of the kids we took care of in the 3-year-olds class in Sunday mornings as older kids now. And it was great to have several of the youth helping us! Fun stuff!

Great July 4th!

Saw Kevin lead worship

Sue and I did our "groupie" thing and drive to Macon to see Kevin on stage. He got to lead worship at Gateway Church today. 

It was great to see him playing and singing, and even better to give him a hug before and after the service. 

Afterwards we grabbed lunch at Buc-ee's and drove home. Fun!

Enjoyed zoo event

We enjoyed going to a members event at Zoo Atlanta tonight! It was the Gorilla Gathering: An evening with the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund.
