Portugal 8-19-07

Lately we have been seeing several truckloads of tomatoes. I am amazed that they are all just dumped in the truck. It seems as if they would be smashed!









Here is Dad with Maria Joao's father-in-law.








Here is Dad teaching Eduardo how to throw a frisbee. You would like Eduardo. He is so sweet and so happy when anyone pays attention to him. He takes a lot of medication that renders him a little slow so people tend to overlook him. You would never guess that he used to be a mathematics/physics professor. Dad got him to be the branch clerk and so they work together a lot and Eduardo loves being needed. He comes to everything the branch does.









Some of the people at our branch picnic at the park. Christophe's mom is the blonde lady by me, then George and Christophe and Elders Jackson and Flowers.















Everytime Dad sees a tractor, he wants me to take a picture! Some turn out better than others. I am blogging it so that there is actually a reason to have taken it in the first place.
