The old beer commercial that used the phrase "it doesn't get any
better than this!" describes the days just passed - days with our family who were visiting
here in Montana - canoeing, biking, hiking,
laughing and talking - and even singing and worship together. And, Oh yes, wonderful food and tasting a great
variety of local beers.
When families get together they inevitably retell old stories
and the add new ones. Thus, the canoe
that capsized and spilled Lani, Jessie and Lucy into the fast moving current of
the Jefferson River gave them, and all of us, a few minutes of panic and concern
- that soon turned to relief and by the end of the day good laughs and now
something to reminiscence about. 
I couldn't stop smiling in the midst of the beauty of nature surrounding us. Much joy! Mountains, rivers and grand-kids
will do that to you!
But the days quickly sped by and one by one they left..
though we have eight year old twins,
Frannie and Lucy, and 13 year old Henry with us for some weeks.
Judy and I try to enjoy these days, for these
too are fleeting. But we are
conscious of the preciousness of each day and give thanks for all these
blessings.
Shout for joy to
the LORD, all the earth, burst into jubilant song with music;" Psalm 98:4
