Visit with Stucks and Hoppers

Wednesday was a relaxing day for us, as we leisurely got up and headed out the door by 9am. We drove to LaVerne where we found a letterbox, also went to the grocery store to buy some graham cracker pie crust for us to make the Cream cheese Yogurt parfait. We also had time for me to drop by “the Joint” to get an adjustment to my back. Back in Phoenix, I fell and my back has been in pain ever since. I’ve never been to a chiropractor but I’m thankful for the release of pain in my lower back.

We had a lovely luncheon with Jill and Pete Stucks in their home. They had purchased some rotisserie chicken along with the rice and potatoes. Delicious. And I had made the cream cheese yogurt parfait. We thoroughly enjoyed making many connections with their rich history with Avant and the fact that Pete was born and raised in Ecuador. We talked about their challenges and their joys. Lovely couple. As we departed, I handed them a gift bag

Glenn and I returned back to the condo to enjoy about 1 hour in the community pool. The sun had come out and the weather was just perfect. I swam 5 laps. Glenn and I quickly changed and met up with Mark and Susan Hopper. They treated us to a local Mexican restaurant. We had great conversations reliving the past when Mark was my youth director back in 1972. It was because of Mark that I am a missionary today. Thank you Mark.

We returned back to our condo. We are thankful for the opportunity to stay here in this furnished home - to rest and recharge.Read more
