Family Reunion Today

Today is Saturday, July 12 and we're still in Bowling Green, Kentucky with my sister, Jane, and her husband, Hack. The picture today is the two of them with Betty on a Riverboat when they visited us in Ohio to go to Tall Stacks, a riverboat celebration in Cincinnati.

The plan for today is for all of us to drive down to my cousin's house in Tennessee for a family reunion on my side of the family. We get together every year on the first Saturday after the 4th of July. It's always a lot of fun and good food.

Update: Today, Saturday, has been a not so good day for Betty. She had a high temperature last night, but, thank God, that's passed. Her temperature is normal. However, she's battling nausea (sp?) today. She's also sleeping a lot which is not unexpected given that she's missed a lot of sleep and rest the past three days. We're taking it one day at a time which is all we can do.

Many thanks to everyone who reads this blog and especially those of you who have let an encouraging comment. It reminds me how important friends our the body of Christ is at a time like this.
