    I forgot to mention a time when we were at their vacation home in Leakey with them and a lot of the family. It was one of the best times we had. We were outside at the firepit and the stars were beautiful. Orval kept saying “The stars are getting thicker and thicker. ” It was very cute. We are so thankful for that wonderful time together.
    Love and hugs,
