But, for the last five days, we have been with friends and it has been so fun and JOYFUL!
SUNDAY: the sister missionaries came for dinner. Brent and Jenni joined us. The sisters were delightful and interesting. One was a top-notch golfer in high school - BOISE. The other from Florida, had gone to BYU/I majoring in art history.
MONDAY; Gigi Kern invited us over to celebrate Jim's 82 birthday. Her daughter and son-in-law were also there...John and Peggy Hrabar. It was an absolutely delightful evening. Gigi fixed a marvelous dinner with the tenderest steak I have ever eaten, tased potatoes, rice, broccoli, and an interesting mushroom/eggplant dish. For dessert, we ate cheese cake. Then we played Apples to Apples. Fittingly, Jim won. It was a wonderful evening.

| Jim and Gig Kern live around the corner from us. She is from Germany - they have led the most remarkable lives from taking in foster children to the Peace Corp in Ecuador to her going alone to teach in Japan. Oh, they are marvelous! |
 |
| John and Pggy Hrabar. Peggy is the daughter of Jim and Gigi - really Gudrun because she was born in Germany. Not Peggy, but Gigi. |
TUESDAY: In the morning, we went to visit Garn and Dorothy to see how they are doing after the death of their grandson. We took them a frozen lasagne to share with family over the next few busy days as they prepare for the funeral.
 |
| Jason Barnham - age 32 - died of brain glioma tumors. |
WEDNESDAY: Jeep ride with Mike and Loretta.
 |
| Enjoying lunch at the Sizzler in Cedar City. Allen absolutely LOVEs this place to eat. I had a salad...it was good. |
I realize how significant a role FRIENDS play in our lives.
So, I'm grateful for these days of sharing with dear friends.
