Gramps and Dodi

This is Gramps and Dodi. They are not blood relatives, but rather, a brother and sister in Christ. They have been attending our church since moving to the area a couple of months ago, being parents and grandparents of a family in our church.

Gramps is quiet, and is, I am sure, going to be a mentor to all of us who are trying to garden in a healthy, non-industrial way. He's been gardening organically for years. (Gramps, how does one control those potato bugs that are attacking potatoes and tomatoes? Is hand-picking the only way???)

Dodi is an artist. Really. Sells her work, has shows, etc. She's also gracious, while at the same time not being shy about letting you know her thoughts on a matter, or giving nudges to do the right thing (like when I was irritable with 5yo this weekend!) And I've heard for a long time what an encourager she is, and am beginning to witness it.

I'm grateful Gramps and Dodi have moved into the area; they are a blessing.
