He's Back!

Our son Chick, a.k.a. Elder Hislop, has returned home, safe and sound.   Carrying a copy of his birth certificate, his Social Security card, his immunization records, a receipt from his driver's license, his high school yearbook, and accompanied by his stunning good looks, they let him on the plane without a photo I.D.     WHAAAA-WHOOOO!

We did not require a photo I.D. to recognize him as he descended the escalators in the airport.   He is our same wonderful Chick.   

I am happy to report that things are great at home.   On the way back from the airport all of us got our flu shots, which did not really make anyone happy but me....  We also stopped at Chick-fil-A which made everyone happy, including me.   Since being home Chick has mostly moved into an attic room, completely fertilized both my pastures, read six 1,000+ page books, attended an Institute dance (notice the verb was "attended", not participated--there was no dancing involved), and secured a date with a darling girl for next weekend.

Life is good.   God is great.

Darling Chick's laugh has not changed; still a whole, body expression of happiness.

Chick's first mission president, President Bonham, and his wife came to the airport to welcome the missionaries home.

Waiting to get flu shots....

Some of us were happier to get flu shots than others...

Glad grandmas
