Grandma June

We took this picture last year when Grandma June made the trip from Quartzsite AZ to see John in LA. She sure loves to hold little great-grandson Romey every chance she gets.

Some of you may know that grandma is home from the hospital after several gall bladder related procedures. I want to say thank you to all the family in Quartzsite who is helping Grandma during her recuperation. Mother traveled from Seattle and Diana traveled from England to help. Lynn and Larry have also been wonderful.

Grandma, thanks for being my affectionate, fun loving, drum playing, rock collecting, card playing Grandma. We love you and are praying for a speedy recovery.

Finally dusted off the digital camera and thanks to Jim learned how to upload pictures without crashing the computer!

Met the family at Snoqualmie Falls. While we were waiting for the Dekkers from Yakima, Romey watched the dogs in the dog grooming shop, played with the sidewalk chalk, drove a racecar shopping car and generally had a great time.
