82 years young AND still full of service

what does Jim love? service- helping others, keeping busy, building, being in the middle of a project not the end because then he has to find another one. Since our hard winter I have found that I just need to keep one step ahead of him and find ways for him to serve



no he didnt drive this big guy but he sure wishes it was his, There are 79 homes going up across the street from us where Word perfect used to be.

our favorite place to serve,   and my favorite way to get there.. by bike! but alas, we are getting  little older and find that our trips are shorter and so are we!!

part 2 Portland Maine and Canada

Jim's love of Light house sent me searching for them all the time. Not sure which one this is

Our desire to attend church
whereever we travel led us to the oldest LDS church house in Portand ,maybe Maine,  It was ward conference and the spirit and love was strong, the congregation was very diverse and  there were 3 sets of missionaries with a strong sense of their success, We knew the family of one of the French missionaries from our mission in Geneva! As usual there were challenges to get to church, like a 10k race right were our uber driver was supposed to pick us us at the ships dock! but, LOVE was SPOKEN there.
