A Family Day

Up early, picked up Kallie at 9, then Marilyn and I ventured into Sabbath School.  Diane was subbing since Kim is away and the piano sat silent so I sat down and plodded my way through the cute little songs as Diane led. There were three little angels today and the program went well.  Kallie was helpful and involved and I think enjoyed herself.

Once Sabbath School was over we stopped for a snack at McDonalds, dropped by home to make sure we had everything and headed down to San Jose to have lunch with Jason, Jo and family.  Kallie loves seeing her cousins and the kids all did a good job with lunch.  The food was great and it was a nice time together.

Once we were out we followed them to their new digs.  A cute condo with security gate, pool and large rooms.  It is so different from the home they left behind with its huge yards, the ocean nearby and cool summer weather.  But this is a step Jason and Jo want to take, for Jason to attend Law School in San Francisco and Jo to reenter the world of teaching. 

We came bearing gifts today, school uniforms for Timothy.  He was able to try everything on and amazingly everything fit.  Nikki had been the one doing the purchasing and everything worked out well.  Now we know what to get for him to round out his uniforms for the year.

While we were there Jason and I attempted to get his Magic Jack working, a phone service that costs less than $2 a month.  It was refusing to load in his computer so he went to the web site, found a chat room person who was able to help him, we ended up loading it using Clayton's laptop instead of Jason and Jo's nice apple computer.  After a few minutes Jason was able to select his area code and area and a number was assigned to him so as of this afternoon their home phone is working and all for no charge until a year from now, pretty amazing.  I personally use two of them in the office and they work perfectly.  For him it is quite a savings.

We finally left and headed home planning to pick up a snack for Kallie but once on the way she fell fast asleep and did not wake until we were in her driveway.  She was happy to see her daddy and Keanna who had a big day at the swim meet.

Steve gave me a basket of tomatoes he has grown, they are just unbelievably delicious, I came home and found ways to eat 4 of them for dinner.  Just now I've been outside pulling deck boards up on my deck so we can see what is taking place under the spa, the deck support boards are all dry rotted, not a fun discovery.

Well going to sign off now, bed soon and a very long day of work tomorrow.  Thank you Lord for a day spent with family and friends, it was good.

Love

Tim
