Noel and Kyle came to visit us, this weekend! So fun! They arrived mid-afternoon, yesterday, and had to abandon us, lonely and forlorn, this morning. But in that time, we enjoyed some great discussions, big laughs and nice meals together. Noel had already been here, of course, for the backpacking trip and found his way back without any help, at all! All part of our subliminal "homing" program. Our house was one stop in a series, for them, comprising a California driving loop which included visits to friends, family and ministry locations. Although we are trying hard to keep up with people and events by means of computer and
phone, nothing compares with face-to-face interaction, and we treasure the opportunities to talk and laugh and eat and everything else in person! We laughed over Ant Farm and commiserated over politics. We talked about education and missions and healthcare. Between them, it would be hard to find a topic that they haven't just read a book about. What a treat! We love our shared history and relationships and look forward to keeping them flowing along. Whatever it takes to keep luring them up here for visits, is what we'll do. Perhaps if our property looked a little more inner-city-ish...
