Summer is winding down and probably by the time
you read this, the children will be back in school.
We must say, the older we get the faster the
seasons slip by, it seems.
Looks like we’ll have a bumper crop with all the nice
rain and sunshine we’ve had…
We were blessed with another new grandbaby when
Travis Kordell was born to son Steven and Emmylou.
This makes 2 happy sisters and 1 brother. Even
though he is only 3 weeks old, at this writing, he has
already been to the store to visit. This brings our
total grandchildren to 10.
Some of our highlights of the summer included
visitors from far away lands. We were visited by a
family from Kenya and also a family from Saudi
Arabia. They have come to visit on several
occasions while visiting their son at Kutztown
Univeristy. Even though some of our visitors did
not speak English, and we did not speak their
language, we were able to communicate fairly well
through interpreters and hand motions.
