Although the weather cooled down slightly, to seasonal temperatures instead of the sauna we've endured for two weeks, our hearts were warmed by many special events this weekend. First and foremost, David & Callie spent several days with us. On Saturday evening, Pete & Kari walked eight miles with the lovebirds and we all exchanged life stories. What a delight! There are few things as interesting as learning where someone has come from and what makes them tick. Much more remains to be learned about Callie, but we certainly know her much better now.
Jeremy & Susan Beebout, Lydia, Elyza and Abigail arrived on Friday for the noon meal and stayed through Saturday breakfast. They shared stories of how the Lord is providing for their work and their family in Niger, and the children enjoyed playing with the kitten and our big kids. The Willmar swimming pool provided relief from the heat, at the same time the north wind brought cooler air.
On Saturday morning, several Svea ladies hosted a bridal shower at the church for Callie. The generosity and warm welcome impressed her. She got some cool stuff too! On Sunday morning, Grandma Dee played an arrangement of "This is My Father's World" on the oboe for our special music - beautifully done! Grandpa treated us to brunch at the Oaks after church - more delicious food. After naps at home, we swam and went tubing at Scott's with succulent bratwurst and angel food cake for supper. The swimming pool water feels like a child's bath water, contributing to our Warm Weekend. Thanks everyone!
