A date with Papa

Wow! It has been a full and busy two weeks. We had a wonderful time in San Antonio and learned so much; we're just praying that we'll apply the truths we learned in every day life and use our new found knowledge to glorify our wonderful King.

There are several posts I've halfway put together, but haven't had the chance to sit down and finish. Perhaps life will slow at some point, and blogging the endless supply of pictures will find a place on my schedule. Until that day, an account of yesterday's blessed activities will have to suffice...

Yesterday we Johnson ladies had the privilege of a lunch date with our dear Papa. He took us to the world famous Golden Arches- and treated us to hamburgers and ice cream.

We thoroughly enjoyed our lunch, and papa patiently answered our array of questions about facts from his past. We love opportunities to learn about our heritage- what it was like during our grandparents childhood; the almost forgotten details behind how and when they met; the story of our great grandfather supposedly putting a skunk in the school furnace (lovely truths that explain some family quirks! :) ), and many other mesmerizing stories.

We had a blessed time together, and concluded our time by doing a little shopping and driving around town.


Grandparents are such a blessing and I'm thankful that we have been especially blessed!
