Papa, our Papa!

It's always a good time when Papa comes to town! Papa drove down from Minneapolis (that's amazing in itself since he is now officially 86 years old!) on Thursday, July 2nd and arrived in fine style mid-afternoon. He brought with him treats from Uncle Doug and Aunt Sue's Quality bakery (those didn't last long!!). He brought with him work shirts from Aunt Connie's ActionWear business...Thank you, Connie! He brought love, laughter, his fun array of jokes, his white papers, his wisdom, his support and his infusion of "can-do" into our lives. We were joined on July 4th by Matt, Brian and Rachel Farley. My stomach has finally stopped hurting from all of the laughing we did. What a fun day. The pictures shows us toasting and roasting Nicole and Chris as they prepare for their bon-voyage day.
He's now gone, but Brad and I are re-infused with a plan, a re-committment and an excitement for the tommorows we hope to have the privilege of sharing together and with Papa.
As Uncle Doug would say "Is this great or what?"
