October became very busy for our family. I received word about the middle of the month that my grandfather was not doing very well at all. In the process of making travel arrangements for Grace and I to fly down to Pennsylvania, he died. Although I'm so glad he is no longer suffering and even more glad that he is seeing Jesus face to face, it was and is so hard to realize I was so close to seeing him one more time this side of eternity. So, instead of Grace and I flying down, all of us drove down to PA for the viewing, burial and memorial service. It was good to be with family, but a hard time for a number of reasons.
All this to say, I haven't blogged much, but wanted to summarize our October with these pictures.
