Farewell

  Our son Jason and his family had a planned 6 week trip to Brazil to show their children their mission and meet with mission companions as well as vacationing. Jason is a great trip planner always including a lot of fun with other experiences.  We had wanted to go with them but we received our call so we did not go to Brazil with them but we did have our farewell early so they could be there.

Sam spoke on patriotism and I spoke on the constitution because it was just before the 4th of July. Interesting topics but we learned a lot preparing. Barb Mandleco, Jane Lassetter and Pat Rushton from my work came and Bill Wegener from Sam's came. My sister came up from Arizona and was an amazing help not to mention just so great to see and hang out with my sis!

After our "non-farewell" we invited all over for German food. We had made Saurbrauten and spaetzle  and then bought potato salad, brotwurst and other amazing things. Our daughter-in law Emily made an amazing Black Forest Cake and I made Apple strudel.  The food disappeared!

That evening Catherine had to go to a conference to help a student collect data.  The student, Heidi was awesome and got all of her interviews!
