June 10: We take a quick trip to Fredricksburg, Iowa to attend the 25th pastoral anniversary of Phil’s Vicarage Supervisor, Rev. Koch. Phil wanted to be there to commemorate this and to preach the sermon for the service. It was great to catch up with friends we had not seen for 6 years.
While there the kids were treated to a tour of a Buffalo Ranch.

October 14: This month we mark 13 years of marriage. Phil’s parents came up for a week so he and I could have a little getaway. It’s been a long time since we have been able to do this. Where to go? What to do? Seems I’m getting boring in my old age, all I wanted to do was go somewhere beautiful so I could sit, drink coffee, read and eat all day. And maybe hike here and there. And that’s what we did. We took our camper up to South Dakota, found a lovely place to camp and hike, got into Sioux Falls a couple times to eat. It was perfect.
