Our Trip to Johannesburg and Dinner with the Milnes

We had a wonderful trip to Johannesburg today.  The drive took about 7 1/2 hours.  Along the way we saw some Cosmos flowers which grow wild in South Africa and flower late in the year.

We went directly to the Temple to check at the Distribution Center on some items that had been ordered for the ward.  We ran into Elder Slabbert’s parents who were dropping off a package for us to take back to him.  Luckily, we were able to deliver the packaged directly to the Slabbert’s that Elder Slabbert gave us to take back to JHB.

Later that evening we were able to join the entire Milne family for dinner.   The Milne clan is shown in the lower right.  Their family is growing with new daughters-in-law and all the grand children.  It was nice to catch up with old friends like Rob and Judy but it is also wonderful to see the growth of their kids.  We feel lucky to have them in our lives.
