We attended the wedding of Micah & Kimberly on Friday afternoon.

I was so pleased to meet these two young girls Tiff & Reba that I hadn’t seen since they were just little tots.

We had guests from Missouri that came for the wedding.

On Saturday Joel & Sheila hosted an EAA fly-in. They served around 60 people with 18 airplanes there.

A couple weeks ago I made this little postcard quilt for Sheila. It was a fast and fun project. She wanted it for “Old Hat.”

I ran the fabric through the printer to get the picture. And then for the back I printed the words “Old Hat” in different sizes and different fonts.

This week’s quilt project. Only it will take much longer than a week.

Here are our grandchildren Ashton on the left and Kirby on the right.

On our trip this summer we came upon this building and it reminded me of our first grandchild.

A little further along the way, I think it was in South Dakota we drove through this town.

Now, I wonder if all the grandchildren will have “town” names!

I finished my Mariner’s Compass quilt that I started in M’liss Rae Hawley’s class. Now I need a name for it. Any suggestions?

Today we drove to Jackson, MS to visit with Paul’s nephew Wes & Heidi Schrock.

We listened to the message by Paul Shirk by way of telephone hook up and then Wes lead us in a short Sunday School class. Olen & Charity Yoder and family joined our little group also.

Charity, Amy, and I had fixed lunch and Heidi made a dessert. I love this next picture of the children “chowing down!”

Derrick takes care of his diabetes.

Paul & Ashton dump their plate on the floor on top of my SS quarterly.

Charity reads “Dick & Jane.”

Heidi reads “Go Dog, Go.”

Jorge, Wes, and Dustin enjoy visiting.

I got to hold baby Brooke a little. She’s a tiny little thing.

And then some of us

went to Jackson

to St. Dominics

to see Wes & Heidi’s baby Jackie.

And Jackie was smaller than Brooke. Very tiny!

I enjoyed seeing these quilts at our PTQ meeting last month.

CC Coggins showed two quilt tops she made for her granddaughter called “Square in a Block.”

Watana Cantrell showed “A Southern North Wind.”

Brenda Crownover showed a miniature Bow Tie quilt that she hand pieced and quilted.

Lawana Schultz shared her “Endless Wells” quilt.

Rachel Jolly showed her pink scrappy squares quilt.

Sandi Bowen showed her “disappearing 9-patch” quilt top and also two “Grandmothers Flower Garden” quilts done by her aunt.

One of my favorite items that I got at Father & Mother’s sale was this crazy quilt comforter made with velvet.

Mother made it and did most of the fancy stitching on it.

It took her 10 years to complete.

We had a special guest, Pastor Viroel, from Romania with us today.

Leland & Alma also came as they learned to know him during their time over there.

Paul’s dad enjoyed visiting and talking about scripture and history.

Janet is staying with Paul’s folks and it was nice she could come along too.

And homefolks, Joel & Sheila, rounded out the guest list.
