South Haven Michigan

Beautiful weather and location! We are enjoying walking, biking and watching baseball here on the Lake Michigan coast. A couple of days relaxing after meeting up with Roger (Rick's brother) and now we are off to Lake Houghton where their sister, Brenda, and husband, Jim, live. This morning the temp was 58! Sorry for all you guys in Texas and Arkansas!

Ohio

Columbus

Zipline Canopy Tours
Grove City
We had a great time in Ohio. We stayed at the Grove City church of Christ and worshiped with them on Sunday. It was a great small time atmosphere with street music Friday night and farmers market on saturday night. We saw the sights of Columbus and drove south to Hocking Hills to zipline in the tree tops. Now we are heading north. Good weather and beautiful sights.

Springfield, IL

After leaving our family reunion in Branson, we headed to Springfield, the Land of Lincoln. We can appreciate and honor President Lincoln so much more now after learning and relearning the history of this great president. Springfield is a beautiful city and all the sights were well done.
We were able to attend a flag lowering ceremony at Lincoln's Tomb. The 114th Infantry performed the ceremony and it was a great finale to the 4th of July!

Family Reunion Branson

Our Branson Mabery Reunion was a success! We had 43 cousins, aunts, family members joining together at a hotel that was very accommodating for our event. Good food, sharing memories and making new ones. Besides the pool, shows, shopping and go-carts we got a lot of visiting done. Next reunion is tentatively planned for Montana 2013!

Happy Father's Day

We have shared many memories through the years together. What a blessing to have a great husband and father for our kids. Both Rick and I feel fortunate to have had wonderful fathers who were faithful to God, wife, and family and good examples to follow. Our time together is less often, but our love is greater. gail

Willow Creek, Palestine TX

We were glad to be close enough to attend Zac and Brit's Open House for their new chiropractic office. They were able to purchase the building next to the one they were in, renovate and begin working in a reasonable amount of time. They scheduled their open house for June 11 and since we were in Marshall, TX it was easy for us to attend. We are happy and proud of their accomplishment.

Great View at Camp Bee

Rick and I are enjoying working at Camp Bee in Marshall TX. I think I have the better deal being indoors with the A/C and he is outside mowing and landscaping. We have a great view out the back window which we open every morning with our coffee and having our devo. A special treat is getting to know and work with Richard and Shirley Hames. Shirley is in the office and Richard has been maintaining the grounds for a couple years now. Besides us girls not being able to beat the guys at cards, we are having fun! gail
