Henk and Margreet

 We first met Henk and Margreet early in 2009 when they volunteered at SITAG.  There was no job too big or too small for them to humbly tackle.

So when they said they would be driving through Arkansas, we jumped at the chance to see them again.

Last time they stayed with us, Henk helped us take down the kitchen walls.

Can you see Aaron and Katherine climbing down to the waterfall?  Fun fact: this was a favorite date spot for us in high school, and one time I slipped down the rocks, scraped up my bracelet from Aaron, and had to be rescued by my knight in shining armor.

This time we decided to build upon our tradition of hiking waterfall trails together.

We enjoyed Petit Jean State Park and the Cedar Falls Trail, along with the lore connected to the original Petit Jean.

And of course, Henk and Margreet couldn't depart without serving us in some way...raised beds and a delicious supper accompanied their sweet company and refreshing conversations.  What a gift of friendship that has withstood the test of time!
