Final pics and reflections of Jordan G's visit

Jordan returned home very early on Sunday morning to be reunited with her mom and two pets. Here are three final pictures:

When we thought about what restaurant Jordan would enjoy on her final days with us, we thought that a carnivore like Jordan would most likely enjoy a place with steak. We went to the Sizzler where the meal was rounded out by their ice cream topped with chocolate AND caramel sauce.

Grandpa's motorcycle was a big success - they not only used it
for local trips but a half-day trip to Mary's Peak was fun, too.

Jordan and I went to see the movie "Kit Kitteredge" at Northern Lights dinner theatre. The neat thing about this place is you can eat and watch your movie. Jordan specifically asked that when I took this picture I was careful not to show the title of another movie that was showing at this theatre. She didn't want the word "sex" shown.

What a wonderful opportunity we had to enjoy this visit with Jordan. One of the meaningful things she said to me was: "Most grandmas are sweet to their grandchildren, but you are sweet to all of the children." Whenever I gave her something she asked for, there was always a "thank you". She didn't mind going to church for three hours even though it meant repeating the same kids' service while we served in one service and attended the other. We had opportunities to have some serious conversations about burdens she has on her mind, plus we had lots of fun. I trust she has lots of good memories of times spent together this summer. I know I sure will!!!
