Henry and I are feeling our age. He's 70 now and I will be on the 18th. I did get my Japanese driving license renewed Tuesday, though. I had to sit through a two hour instruction class and take a road test around the driving course to do it, but I passed and have the new license for 5 years. That is good news :-)
Henry has turned into a veggie farmer with lots of lettuce, tomatoes, cukes, spinach, squash, onion, potatoes, and other stuff. He has a bunch of plants to still put in the ground someplace. The garden stuff does taste good. He has learned how to drive a tractor and the owner has him plow the two fields he has for growing squash. He is also handy with the hammer and tools and will go up to northern Japan and help a fellow missionary renovate their new church building (starting the 13th). He is very handy to have around. :-)
Our six grandkids are growing well. Peter and Jewel's Little Ben is crawling and trying to climb stairs. Big sisters Arianna and Elorie just love him. He is about 8 months. Joe and Christin are homeschooling their 3 girls. He works for Amazon. Steve works for Coca Cola in SC and still not married, but he takes care of his siblings. Sara stayed with him many times when she was on deputation until recently. Matthew is a manager at Panda Express and involved in our home church by singing in the choir. He has grown a beard. Teresa is in her 12th year teaching in Katy, TX. The single ones don't have a person in which they are interested, at least they have not told us yet. All of them contact us at least monthly.
