Summer 2015

Summer will soon come to end and my all time favorite season will begin, FALL :).
A lot happen this summer....

• May-Harrington came home after completing first year of college at Grambling State University
• June-Harrington started summer job
• June 30-Henry RETIRED: Yes after 30 years with Arizona Law Enforcement  the badge and gun are off and the Patrol Car is gone.  We had known this time would come this year but I just couldn't accept the fact that he would actually be done the last day of June. Well, reality set-in when the patrol car was no longer parked in the driveway and he didn't wear uniform the last week of work. 30 years came and went faster than any of us expected. I'm thankful  that Henry  had a career he enjoyed, met and assisted some awesome people and many opportunities to represent the department. Most of all I'm so thankful that God's Amazing Grace kept and protected him from seen and unforeseen danger for all those years. 
• July-Traveled to Las Vegas to attend the NBA Summer League. We had a great time watching all the rookies and catching a glimpse of current and former NBA players, coaches and personnel. We even had an opportunities to spend sometime with our dear friends, the Hensons.

• August-Harrington returned back to college for his sophomore year. While down south, Henry and I took time to visit with some old and very dear friends in Dallas, Texas and Jackson, Mississippi.  It has been some time since we've seen The Reed's (J.W., Essie, & Zoe). We truly enjoyed their fabulous southern hospitality and just having the time to sit and visit with them. After getting Harrington all set-up at college we ventured off to Jackson to visit our recently retired brother, Willie Hinds. We have loved him like a brother since meeting him 22 years ago at church. Since his transfer from Phoenix in 2000, he was promoted and moved up and down the south and east coast yet our relationship remained and we're so blessed to have seen God do some amazing things during his awesome 22 year career with the FBI.
