The church had a welcome home picnic for Fran. We told all to bring both a blue shirt and a red shirt. Teams were chosen and shirts were donned. After the first game with all the Simmlers on the same team, they split them up!! Here you see Fran watching to see if Adam catches the frisbee or not. Did he? I don’t remember!!!
Earlier this month Fran and I participated in the filming of a course that our pastor and his wife taught. Pastor’s Hollywood friend came and set up the “lights, camera, action” part of it. Micah and Adam joined a couple other young men to help Pete with the cameras. It was a tiring but rewarding three days! Someday the 10 week DVD course with workbook will be available for purchase. The lessons are an invaluable resource for parents, someday parents, and grandparents alike to learn from. One more couple was with us during most of the filming but were not there when we took this photo.
Four Simmlers are to the right in the photo. Our pastor and his wife are in the back left; Pastor Scheibner is wearing a yellow tie. Peter, the Director is over Pastor’s left shoulder.
Our friend Kevin McKeen at Minuteman Signs in Augusta, Maine made this sign for Fran’s welcome home. We had it on the house for when he returned. Then we took it to Stratton for the family reunion. Here are five of us anyway, Erik was working and didn’t join us until the next day.
