What a week and more to come

The misery of two days and two nights in a hotel reminded me why I hate traveling and visiting. It's over now; the floor has been installed and we just need to re-position furniture.

During those days Jessica needed transportation to various meetings of the Louisiana United Methodist Church.  River attended some of the sessions, also.  The conference has concluded; Jessica and River returned to Baton Rouge, and from there Jessica will fly to Birmingham, Mich. to assume her duties as summer intern with the United Methodist Church in that city.

Jen and I are looking forward to an exciting week beginning Saturday when Mark arrives with Lily and Oliver.  The grand kids will spend a week with us while Mark and Julie will be in the Bahamas.

June is a month of anniversaries of military action.  It was on this date, June 6, 1944, that we invaded Normandy, always thought of as D-Day, although we had many D days. For Pickens shipmates and families, in 1945 we were on our way to Noumea, New Caledonia.  Certainly, we were looking forward to visiting a place where that were friendly people.
