I ran the third leg of the Tiger Tri Saturday July 21. I ran instead of Toni Griessmann, my good friend. Her daughter, Kirsten swam 1 K, her husband, Peter rode 40 K on his bike and I ran the 8 K run. I didn't run it very fast but I ran the whole way and did my best. I decided to do it Friday night and the race was Saturday morning. Kirsten was going to have to swim and run so I decided to do it.

4th of July

Jim and I went to the ward breakfast at 8:00am. After visiting with others we went shopping and then home to paint the floor. We are painting the bottom floor of the "echo room" so when we set up table and chairs to eat I can clean the floor easier. We removed everything from the room and then taped the walls and cleaned the floor. Jim and I both painted and Jim threw paint chips over the wet paint. It looks pretty cool. I received a text message from Utah with a picture of Elder William Divis and his companion in front of the American flag with the message; "Happy Fourth of July". I was fun to see a picture of one of my missionaries.

June Family Reunion

Laura, Craig and family came to visit June 25-30. Jordan and Della arrived first on Sunday evening. Mariah arrived Monday afternoon along with Laura's family and James Micheal and Makayla. Tuesday James, Evan and Sadie arrived. It rained all day so we visited inside and played games. Jordan made dinner. He made Calzones, all different kinds. I made a fruit pizza for dessert. Wednesday we played FIFA, Frisbee golf, miniature golf, and Settlers. Audra and Emily arrived Wednesday also. Thursday we went to the Columbia river and played in the water and built a sand castle. Kendra cut her finger so they left a couple hours before the rest of us. Audra and Emily didn't go to the river. We barbecued burgers and dogs. Friday we spent recuperating from Thursday. We barbecued ribs and potatoes Friday. Jordan, James, Audra, Makayla, Evan, Sadie and Emily left Friday evening. Laura's family left Saturday morning and Mariah left Saturday afternoon. James Micheal and Della didn't go home until Sunday. We went to Emily's blessing in Spokane Sunday. We had a wonderful week.
