It was foggy again this morning when we got up. We couldn't see the hills round us. The fog burned off before we got to Church.

Today was the big celebration of Lois and Phil Wall's fiftieth wedding anniversary. Before services we took a lot of pictures. By we I mean everyone had a camera, pretty much complete chaos. The church service was very up lifting, great singing and sermon. The Singing was led by Ben Wall and the gospel message was delivered by Andy Wall. They are the sons of ois and Phil. I have attached pictures of Lois, Phil and their three children The other is a group shot including grandchildren.
After services lunch was served in the Fellowship Room and Courtyard. It was catered by a local Mexican Restaurant. After lunch there was a power point type presentation with pictures from Lois and Phil’s life from before marriage to recently.

After lunch we came back to the coach, John and Tyne joined us. We visited with our hosts the Allreds. Later in the afternoon Denny took us for a tour of his orchard. We picked oranges, avocados, lemons and grapefruit. We also now know more than we need to know about grafting, growing, picking and selling fruit.

At about 6 PM it was back to the Wall house for more family visiting and an evening meal of leftovers from last night and today’s lunch.

Remember yesterday I closed with the question, does it get any better than this? Well, the answer is yes, it just keeps getting better.

Tomorrow we move north toward Seattle and our granddaughter's college graduation.
