See the world through others' eyes

One of the advantages of having people visit you is that by conversing with them, you are able to see the world through their eyes. This is especially so if your visitors have keen observation skills and a ready tongue.


We just said goodbye to my oldest brother Bernell and his wife Nancy. They have been able to stay with us almost 3 days. During that time we have taken them to the Towe auto museum, the Rairoad museum, and a play at Chautauqua theater. We finally were tired enough to just sit around our family roof and swap lies.

Bernell and Nancy are in good health and they are both able to get away from their daily routines fairly easily. So they have traveled extensively, at least in comparison with us. And we get to visit through their eyes the dedication of the Finnish LDS temple, a less than ideal cruise to Hawaii, a tour of the Canadian Maritime provinces, and more. Bernell especially has a comment or observation about everywhere they've gone.

To add to our delightful weekend,

Steven & Lisa, from Santa Cruz



and our local kids Ed and his family

spent some time with us. The house is so quiet again, now.

  1. I'm glad Bernell and Nancy were able to visit! Sounds like you did have a houseful. That must be nice sometimes.

  2. We've arrived home safely and yes, we had a wonderful time with you. Thank you!!!! We really enjoyed the visit, the cookies, and the museums in Sacramento. Hope we didn't wear you out too much.
    Love, Bernell and Nancy

  3. Looks like it is time to post new pictures of Cam. He's bigger than I recall already.
