Jack and Richard took off for Washington on Thursday morning while I was still at the Leary's. They made it to Redmond by early afternoon on Friday. Jack's apartment was waiting for him, they rented a few basic pieces of furniture and settled in. Bad news is that the furniture won't be delivered until Tuesday. Richard bought a queen sized airmattress that they shared on Friday night! Richard flew out of there Saturday night and got home by 10:30 last night. Sadly he missed this fun gathering of the King family for Dolores' 80th Birthday Party! This is a shot of Dolores and Grandma Jones at the party. Dolores is Grandma Jones' best friend from Illinois. They were both young widows. Dolores married Jack King and moved to California. When Marge's husband died, she sold everything she could, packed up her 3 boys and headed to California. There they lived with the Kings until she could find a job, a place to live and get settled. The Kings introduced them to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day-Saints. Marge and her 3 boys were all baptized! We owe a lot to this women and her example to her high school friend. Our Jack is named after Jack King who was like a father to Richard.
This is Dolores as we sang Happy Birthday to her with her two youngest girls, Michelle and Kellie.
Grandma stayed up and came to the airport to pick up Richard with me. We even convinced her to stay the night! Its nice to have Richard and I in the same house again!
Steph and her mom came over this morning and we got some more wedding planning done. Then I made it to a wedding shower and took Jonathan to get a present for his best friend, Alex, who's turning 17 today before the big birthday party. Now to get Josh and Meg safely back from Lake Mead!
