A Reunion with Mom

 Feeling like our time with our mom is getting short, my siblings and I  with our spouses gathered for our annual reunion in Idaho. 
 Though her mobility has greatly declined and she sometimes struggles with her recall...her humor and wit are very much intact.


Friday dinner in Richard's backyard
 

 A river walk to scout out a good location for the next morning's walk with mom and breakfast.

  Idaho in the Fall is a beautiful place to be.

  Surprise

 Having all her children with her at church was probably the highlight for mom.

Gathering the troops
 







It was so good to be with mom again.
And hoping we get to enjoy a few more reunions with her.
