Fall Fun

Part of our trip to Utah included a visit with our Wells family.  We sure do love and enjoy them.

 

 We made a quick trip to Las Vegas to meet up with this young man and go to the temple with him and his fiancé.  Then went back for the wedding the end of October.  He is finding out why our young men won't stand next to Rod for a photo.  It was a delightful trip.

They had a beautiful wedding!

 Rod has been very much enjoying our missionaries ...the ones serving in our ward.  He has gotten very close to several of them.  He has sponsored several P-days, usually racquet ball and breakfast or hikes.  One of the current pair is district leader who wanted to do some team building and leadership activities so Rod obliged.  They were so well received that he was asked to do them for some of the other missionaries in the area.  Whenever dinner doesn't work out, they come here.  It has been a real blessing.  Rod derives great satisfaction from these relationships too.  He just needs to be around young people.
He has also been taking his watercolor painting class and enjoying it greatly.  He is improving a lot too.

 I continue to enjoy my ceramics classes and am producing some work I really like.

The leaves that I used for this platter are from my squash plants.

We are so blessed to be able to pursue our interests and grow in experience.  What a rich life we enjoy!
