Spring is wonderful! I used to say Fall was my favorite, but this year we had such cool days that the flowers have lasted longer than usual...forsythia, magnolias, daffodils, tulips, and lilacs, in succession.
We have had a succession of guests too. Andrew and Sylvia Taussig from Oklahoma City came with daughter Alex. For 20 years he was doing well in a heating, but all along felt that he was being called to serve needy children in Africa. He is now with Children of Nations. They build schools and "compounds" for children with cottages and house parents. He is so sure that he is doing the right thing. He and Sylvia must raise their own salary.
I decided to help with that.
We also entertained Marli, Trale, Pat and Phil, and Kristi, who was with us last Christmas. She is from Korea, studies in Texas. She enjoyed Chicago so much that she wanted to come back for Spring Break. And Ken, he had a fare for his Taxi that came to Illinois ($800), so he came to see us.
I can't wait for July 4th. See you then!!! Peace be with you. Dad, LOLO, Ensign.
Hi Dad, good to hear about Andrew and Bardell family. I'm waiting to hear about a school Lisa told us you'd tell about.
