Last days with kids before heading to Georgia

Farewell Dinner at Finlinson's

We had a lovely day. Garth and I spoke in church and Jami played the violin accompanied by Julie (Phil) Finlinson. They played "Love was Spoken Here". We invited all of our friends and family for lunch and had a hullabaloo. There were 150 plus people. Thanks to Jake and Garth's lovely tent we all were shaded and as comfortable as one can be in 100 degree weather. All of Venice's brother and sisters came and we can always count on the Finlinsons for a good time. In the morning we had family pictures. It was the first time since Jeri's wedding that our immediate family has been together.
