Fly-fishing Legend and Family Home Evening: Great Combo

We've had some particularly fun Family Home Evenings the past couple of weeks. We've decided to break from the "norm", leave the house, and make visits to people. These have, by far, been the most memorable Family Home Evenings I've had since being married. It's fun bringing Aaron along, too, because he seems to lift and brighten people's spirits. Children do have that wonderful effect.

This week we were able to visit a friend of Mike's, 85-year-old fly-fishing legend, Frank Moore. He could have starred in "A River Runs Through It" alongside Brad Pitt. You can google Frank's name and find all kinds of articles written on him. Here's a good one. This man is world famous!

What's more impressive, though, is watching him interact with his sweet wife, Jeanne, of 65 years. Mike and I so enjoyed being in their home (a lovely cabin, which he built, by the way) because of the way they treated us and the way they treated each other. We didn't want to leave -- and didn't for a couple of hours! We had so much fun listening to Frank tell stories of his fly-fishing adventures, which he still has to this day. What an inspiration. I was telling Mike as we were leaving that they are such classy people because of the way they make others feel: loved and appreciated. I will never forget them nor their kindness to us. It's people like them that lift MY spirits!

Here's Mike, Frank and Aaron. Such gentlemen!



And here are the boys with Jeanne and Frank. They're such a sweet couple!
