From Grits to Chopsticks

We have been blessed each summer to travel back to America and spend time with family members.  This year, we quickly drove to Arkansas to visit our new granddaughter and her big brother:Our youngest son and his wife fed us well: And we were able to spend a day relaxing at our daughter-in-law’s parents’ farm: Next, we traveled to Utah to spend time with our oldest son and his wife.  We enjoyed hiking with them and their new puppy: I went mountain biking for the first time in about 8 years (and survived): We also visited the Kimball Arts Festival in “downtown” Park City:Finally, we had the opportunity to spend time with our daughter’s family at the beach in SC:The weather was perfect and we enjoyed playing in the surf and tidal pools together: We look forward to seeing our friends in China, but we will certainly miss each of our children and grandchildren!
