A Visit From Stephanie & The Kids

Our daughter, Stephanie, and children, Jack, Lucie, and Lincoln have been visiting with us for the past three days. (Steven stayed in the Texas Hill Country to attend to his construction business.) They honored Gloria’s birthday yesterday with a gift and singing. Stephanie and Lincoln cooked omelets, and Stephanie baked her famous tea ring coffee cake. A belated 50th wedding anniversary gift for us was a framed write-up of our wedding ceremony in Prout Chapel at Bowling Green State University. Who could possibly remember all of the elaborate details of the bride’s lovely, white dress and train or the colors and materials used to make the dresses of the bride’s maids? Creative Stephanie had retrieved the old article from her grandmother’s belongings and then added a beautiful, matted frame. What a keepsake!

During their visit, Jerry and Stephanie did a little antique shopping, and the grandchildren helped wash the Airstream. An attempt at kite flying proved futile. All six of us joined in to play 313, joker, and bocce ball. The kids also enjoyed rollerblading and skootering on the smooth streets of our Airstream (NTAC) community. One night, while we played bridge, Steph and the children played beanbag baseball with the residents of our park. One of them is 95, but she is one of the best players. The children were amazed at her mental alertness and ability to perform at a high level!
