More of Lonna and Dick's visit

We went to Canterbury Shaker Village on Saturday, and it turned out that they were having a sheep and wool festival.


If Dick and Jerry look doubtful, they probably felt better when they found out this was not lunch but a dyeing demonstration.


We also watched a sheep shearing/herding demonstration and all decided we want border collies.
And I bought some yarn. It's a beautiful hand-dyed green, and it doesn't go with a single article of clothing I own. Anyone want a Christmas present?

We went down to Easthampton on Sunday and ate lunch out with Max, Anya, and Miles. Somehow no one took pictures -- so you'll just have to imagine.

Monday Dick and Lonna left for their US/LDS History tour, meeting up with their group in Washington. I admire their energy!

Besides the joy of their visit itself, we had a nice vacation from thinking about cancer, partly because this was my off-week, so no chemo until next Thursday. Good.

Looks like you guys had a good time:) Wish we could go visit as well, we've talked about it since we were newlyweds. Maybe if they had special "children containment areas" on planes... .
Love you guys!
Sev and Austin
