An Image worth sharing!
While going thru some photos recently, we came across this photo of Sarah. It was taken at a Control Data costume party that I was covering for the employee magazine. I scanned the image to be able to send it to Sarah & Nathanael, and then I thought I'd post it for all.
N., I guess this image fits Ansel Adams' 3 corners vs. 1 corner that you mentioned.

Dad Jones is Jealous!
We are thrilled to hear of your opportunity to go camping in Yosemite. Ansel Adams, truly one of America's finest outdoor photographers, traveled and photographed Yosemite extensively.
I wish I could be there too!
Enjoy!
Dad Jones
P.S. Take photos!!!

Color GrandDad Blessed.....
I had to post these photos from yesterday before Sarah & wee E. left MN to return to Nathanael in FL.
We had a great time with almost all the family together. We did miss not having N.
Today is Sarah's birthday!
Happy Birthday to You...
Happy Birthday to You...
Happy Birthday Dear Sarah.... Happy Birthday to You!

Saddened hearts, Post-visit day approaching!
Sarah & wee E. will return to the loving arms of N. on Wed. 11/2.
While we will feel the loss here, we look forward to Nathanael being able to wrap that wee E. & Sarah in his welcoming embrace.
The time with Sarah & E. has been wonderful.
My thoughts have turned to missionaries who have left home and kin to relocate to places far from home. This week is our "Missions Festival" at our church. We need to uphold those who have gone, and those who have been left behind for the sake of the call to make disciples of all nations.
I look forward to viewing the new documentary, "Beyond the Gates of Splendor", based on the lives of 5 men who were killed in January 1956 in Ecuador, South America.
God is good... His mercies never fail!

Today, GrandDad gets to hold Evelyn!
I just stopped by the house to p/u the car seat for our grandbaby.
Sarah & wee E. will arrive at 3:41 PM.
I am looking forward to their arrival, and I plan to meet them at the bottom of the the escalator on their way to baggage claim. Sarah will have to turn-over Evelyn to GrandDad's waiting arms. I do pray the flight(s) are un-eventful and wee E. is patient with all of the bustling and shuffling on the connecting flights.
Sandra too arrives back in Mpls. later in the evening.
A blessed time is expected.
N., M&B will be missed!

Late breaking NEWS!!!!!.....
Meg called with the announcement of an accepted job offer at a Cardiovascular doctors office! PTL!!!!!!!!!!!!

GrandDad to one, and Dad to the other is waiting with great expectation for the arrival of wee E. and Sarah.
I spoke with GrandMom this morning. She is in Manhattan at a conference. She will arrive in Mpls about 6 hours after Sarah & Evelyn. Our prayer is for safe travel & a blessed time.
Jessica is looking forward as well. She was so happy to see Meg & Bry last weekend.
I have never experienced such a whirlwind schedule with all this travel.

Talbot (our Westie) revisited....
A distant relative of our little "warrior" has come by to help us all with computer maintenance.
.......Keeping our screens "clean"!
Duane
Back, between two coasts
We arrived safely in Mpls. at 11:45 PM Monday evening.
Our time with Meg & Bry was wonderful, restful, and much needed. Jessica was thrilled to see them and seems that she was reserved and a bit pensive on the way home. I told her we would call Meg & Bry on the phone after We Can Ride Tuesday evening.
Please be in prayer for the Lord's "best" as far as employment for Bryan & Meggan. Meg has had some real good leads and promising interviews, but has come up empty so far.
Our desire is a job for Meg that would have her somewhat close to home, so there is not all that CA highway commuting, that she could work near enough to their home so she could be back to it, in time to prepare dinner and have a bit more of a normal home life. (Trust me when I say, Californians like to live life in the "fast lane").
We now jump back into the work week with both feet. Next big event is this weekend with raking and waterfront chores, Sandra's next business trip to NYC and wee E. and mother's arrival from Florida.
