We have been spending the last few days in the Wisconsin Northwoods, visiting with friends that we have had for over 60 years. We have been in each others lives through all the fun times: vacations, dances, having and raising our children together, all the good menories as well as the sardines when we needed each others emotional support: the loss of their daughter at childbirth, the deaths of all of our parents, illnesses including accidents and cancer to name a few. We all have moved various times, but keep in touch and manage to get together as often as we can wherever we can. Fred and Bob have been friends since their teen years and because we are the spouses Judy and I are also friends. We sat up late the first night we arrived and talked and laughed into the evening. They live on a lake in a beautiful spot in the Northwoods. Last night we were enjoying the evening and saw beaver and loons on the lake, not to mention the deer roaming about. I love the beautiful and stately pines as well as the many varieties of other trees. God created this wonderful place on earth for us to enjoy and wonder of the majesty of it all. Any place on this earth is a blessing to all of us. As we were in another area in WI last week a friend and neighbor of over 20 years ago past away so we atttended his celebration of life. It was a moving ceremony concluding with military honors. It was wonderful to see his family as well as other former neighbors who also attended. This is rather short today as there are so many folks we have visited with as well I could probably bore you all to death. I feel so blessed to be able to see them all- many have physical and emotional situations. I give God all the praise and glory for our health and strength in our lives.
