Laura's Visit

My dear friend, Laura, came to visit on Friday afternoon, Aug 20th from Santa Barbara.

We had a wonderful visit. We had lots of time to chat. We had coffee with Renee on Saturday morning. We had the Fries family over for a bar-b-que on Saturday evening.

On Sunday, Laura went with my family to Grace Church. Laura and Ruth and I went to Duluth for Sunday evening. We ate dinner at Fitger's - a place I'd seen for ~15 years... I don't need to go back there again. We spent the night at Superior Shores in Two Harbors. The swimming pool and hot tub was very relaxing.

We slept in on Monday morning until 9:45AM. That was the latest Ruth had slept in about 7 years - since before Ryan's birth. We had brunch at the resort and then ventured to Duluth for a tour of the Glensheen mansion.

Timothy was very understanding about this visit. Especially since Monday was our 13th wedding anniversary. Thankfully we have an anniversary weekend scheduled for Sept 11 - 12 for golf and fun.

I so enjoyed Laura's visit. I appreciate our friendship.... it's very edifying to have a friend that knows so much about you and that God uses to shine His Light into your life. Sometimes the Light brightens areas that really need brightening and healing. God is very good.

The verse for the weekend was Ex 14:14 "The Lord will fight for you. You need only to be still."

On Tuesday morning, I had to return Laura to the airport.
