Grandma and Grandpa Schurz came for a visit last week and it was wonderful! Just having company, familiar faces during the day, was a real treat. We hiked, went to the beach, played, ate good food, and I am so grateful for such wonderful family time! I started missing them before the door closed. Thank you for everything Grandma and Grandpa!
