A weekend in the country....well Snohomish anyway




Last weekend we took the train up to Seattle (a first for both of us) to see Matt's mom and his great-uncle Dick. Uncle Dick fell a few weeks ago and has been recovering in a nursery home. He is 91! His spirits have been down but Delores said it was the most he has smiled in a long time when he saw Matt. It was good to see him. Please pray for his continued recovery though. He really wants to be back in his own house.

We also planted some blueberry and raspberry bushes, a pear tree and an apple tree on Dick's property. He has about 20 acres and we took a little hike to check it out. It is really pretty up there.
Matt accidentally left his Bible on the train on the way up and was bummed. We checked in the lost and found but it wasn't there. Then, yesterday someone from Amtrak called and said they had it and they were sending on the train back to Portland. Very cool.
