Good-bye, Farewell, Auf Wiedersehen, Adieu to You

They left this morning. Sad day for me. We were so privileged to have them here for these weeks and for getting to know C-Bear. Deke has always hated giving up his most favorite job in the whole world-raising his children, and these past few weeks gave him that old feeling of being needed and loved by someone who is totally dependent. Awesome responsibility.

Anyway, they are off again and will be at their next assignment sometime this next week. Deke left in the early morning hours for Iowa to take his PPG motor to the guy who sold it to him to fine-tune something that is not working correctly, so he missed their good-byes. However, we'll be in NC soon as our 7th grandchild should be making her appearance in another couple of weeks in the Varnell household, while Lori and Mark's little boy will be #8 and due the middle of September. The Lord has indeed blessed us with wonderful children and grandchildren.

That's what's called "packed to the gills"

Bye Nana
