Day Family Adventures

It's a hot Monday morning here and seems to be the perfect time for a blog post.

There have been happenings that I haven't shared so why put it off any longer.

Our recent college graduate Granddaughter Savannah has been offered her first full-time position in her chosen field and one for which she has prepared.  She will be working remotely until it's time to relocate to Indy.  So proud of this smart and gorgeous girl.

Budding actress, Granddaughter Ava Grace, has been cast in a leading roll, and the one she wanted, in the upcoming musical "Into the Woods."  It will be with the North Dallas Performing Arts and she will play the role of Little Red. We have so enjoyed seeing her prepare for this audition, and cannot wait to see her perform in September.  By the way, this will be the first performance they have done without masks in over a year.  YES!

Dick had a squamous cell carcinoma removed from his ear a couple weeks ago which also required some extensive reconstruction.  I watched the whole thing and found it absolutely fascinating.  The surgeon's assistant was so sweet and supportive.  He is doing well and we are grateful for excellent physicians.

This past week, a few singers from our Life Group visited a fellow member who has ALS.  They sang quartet arrangements of several hymns and evidently this meant so much to him.  It is so good to be part of such a ministering group of Christian men and women.  Bill, on the left is our amazing teacher.

Jackson and McKenna took a delayed honeymoon to Greece a couple weeks ago and had a marvelous time exploring several of the islands.  This was taken on Mykonos Island, one of their favorites.  We are so glad they were finally able to make their dream trip come true.

Speaking of dream trips!

Granddaughter Chandler and husband Brad, who are extensive world travelers, will be returning from Greece this week.  They were sorry schedules didn't permit them meeting up with the cousins though.

She is so knowledgeable of planning the most amazing trips that she has started her own Instagram account and is eager to help you plan your dream trip.

Here are a few pictures of their most recent travels.  And by the way, Brad is the best photographer, but you may not be able to afford to take him with you.

This picture was taken from the patio of their airbnb.  What a place to live for a few days.

Needless to say, Chandler is an excellent model and Brad is an excellent photographer.

This picture was taken where they were staying in Bali last year.  Can you imagine sleeping on this and waking up to that view every morning?

This was their Airbnb in Florence, Italy.  Yes, this gal knows how to plan a trip!

Dick and I took our own little trip and ventured among the large bronze sculptures in the Central Park of Frisco, last week.  This and driving on the toll roads, is about as adventurous as we get these days.

Life is good!
