At the beginning of summer I spied two pirates!
And below, two space nerds.
Our blackberries produced some very nice fruit.
Zane and Koen, along with Dallas and Lilly
made a visit to the blueberry farm.
Sadly, I couldn't find my camera, so no pictures.
And the Highlight of our summer, is always our Reginal Convention.
This year the Convention theme is:
"Keep Seeking First God's Kingdom!"
"Keep Seeking First God's Kingdom!"
Daniel and Pam with their buddy, Johnny.
Friday's theme:

-Matthew 13:11
I enjoyed the symposium entitled:
"What Must be Kept in Second Place."

Eating and Drinking (Eccl. 3:12, 13; Romans 14:17)
Concerns about Health (Ps 115:17; Luke 12:25; 1 Tim 5:23)

We sat with Dale and Sheena and her family in the parking lot on Saturday

Those Who "Become as Young Children" (Matt 18:2-4)

After the convention on Sunday we went out to eat with Dalton's Family
and our friend, Noelia. (It was Dalton and Kyria's anniversary)
Sunday's theme: "Come...Inherit the Kingdom"
-Matthew 25:34
I enjoyed the symposium:
"Anticipate Future Kingdom Blessings!"

And the final talk of our convention was most comforting for the days ahead.

Sounds like a really good convention. Informative, reminding us of God's commandments, and things to look forward to.
Did you make something yummy from the blue berries or blackberries??
I like Dion with just the mustache. Does Dale take Riot with him alot, like I used to take Sugar everywhere?
Looks like you're keeping busy, since your 'retirement'. :)
those blackberries look so good!
i love religious conventions and
I love learning about our Savior.
My life is better because of what I know and understand and especially when I live and apply and share what I have learned and understand.
Greetings...haven't blogged in ages but nice to see you are still around. Glad you enjoyed the convention, as did my husband and I.
Agape love,
Kay (Manoushmama)
