A family affair

Psalms 127:3-5 Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD, the fruit of the womb a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one’s youth. Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them!

Deuteronomy 5:16 Honor your father and your mother, as the LORD your God has commanded you, so that you may live long and that it may go well with you in the land the LORD your God is giving you.

Today we had an opportunity to meet as a family and remember this day with family pictures.  We are so blessed to have a wonderful family which has grown from 7 children to 42 (and 2 more on the way).  The love we share is evident in the smiling faces and good times that we always have together.  Thank you for sharing this day with us.

Today we went golfing  It was raining lightly when we started but got progressively worse. We were rewarded with a beautiful rainbow at the end of our round.

Family Golf

It was a beautiful day for a round of golf with the family.  While the sky was overcast, we didn't get any rain.  You can certainly tell that fall is in the air as it was warm while the sun was out but cool when the sun went away.

Afterwards we enjoyed a bbq at Harry & Marian's house.  It was so nice to have the family together. We missed Janice who was in Vancouver with work.  Mom and Dad joined us for dinner and we all laughed alot throughout the night.  We were so thankful that everyone was able to be together.

All good things must end

Sadly, today is our last day in Myrtle Beach.  We were up early packing the cars and then watched the sunrise while eating breakfast at the beach (Sea Captains house).  Laura and Jay were on the road by 8:00 a.m. and Ralph and I drove to North Carolina and enjoyed one last round of golf at Panthers run.  It was extremely hot today, hitting about 38C.  Our clothing was soaked by the end of the game - primarily because of the humidity.  I'm thankful that there was  shower for us to use before leaving.

We drove as far as Winston Salem today and plan to finish our drive back home tomorrow.
