Stephenson Family Ties

Where is Anne?
Head above the buttercups,
Walking by the stream,
Down among the buttercups.
Where is Anne?
Walking with her man,
Lost in a dream,
Lost among the buttercups.

We had a wonder long weekend with Anna and Dave and Lucie visiting here with us!!
They felt the need to get out of the muck that has socked in the northern regions, ( the worst air quality in the nation!!!) and come down here where its warmer and sunnier. It was most definitely warmer...but this weekend the sun didnt preform its best act.
Unfortunately this was also a weekend that we had to make a choice...between two good things. We felt so torn between two great family occasions. The family event in Salt Lake pulled hard....so hard that My Builder went up to represent us...at Ben's Homecoming celebration. I want Ben to have my sincerest apology for not making it up to participated in the honoring of his faithful service to the Lord!! May he know that we were there in spirit. We love you Ben!!

We enjoyed a lot of family time this weekend. It was fun to get better acquainted with the man who seems to have stolen Anna's heart, and to meet darling Lucie who owns a huge part of Daves heart and is working on all of us as well. Bidding them good-bye is tough...but I have a feeling they'll be back soon.
Its the weather here!!
