Summer time joys - July times El Verano

July started off with family reunions on the Wenger side in VA. What fun to reconnect after 4 years apart.

Betsie with Isaiah in front and Faith in back, Angela, Gordon's sister with Yoshiki in front and Mirai in back. Aqui estamos con la familia de Gordon - su Hermana y dos se sus tres subrinos.

More fun with cousins - Timmy and Tiara play with Samuel, Isaiah, and Gordon Gordon jugando con mas sobrinos, Timoteo y Tiara.

Susanna, Elisabeth, and Rebecca had special times together, too. Elisabet y Susanna con la unica sobrina que tenemos en la familia de Gordon, Rebecca.

Virginia has some great swimming holes - we enjoyed them! Banandonos en agua caliente era bueno - como en la selva.

Visiting friends with a mini-horse was a treat for the children. Un caballito tan chiquito de amigos.

. . . And finding a Peruvian restaurant was a memorable day! Hemos encontrado un restaurant Peruana en Virginia.

We all enjoyed Pollo A la Brasa. Look at those smiles! Y hemos comido Pollo a la Brasa - mira las sonrisas.

We arrived home in NC to find our garden brimming with produce. It was a great year for cucumbers - look at those 2 laundry baskets full! Thank you Lord! Gracias a Dios, nuestros hortalizas han dado mucho comida ha nosotros este ano.

We enjoyed a visit from Betsie's family in mid-July. . . they arrived just in time to do up our sweet corn, a treat we haven't grown for years since it doesn't grow in Velille. Moses and Helena are helping Gordon and Elisabeth here. Choclo tambien hemos cosechado. Helena estaba visitando y ayudando.
