Stan and Isabelle Bushart have returned from a trip to El Paso, Texas, where they visited their son, the Rev. Kevin Bushart and family.

They went on the scenic drive at night to see the lights of the city from mountain heights. They celebrated with granddaughter Hannah, who had her sixth birthday on Sept. 9. The following week they spent a few days with Isabelle's two sisters and friends at the Peck Lake cottage of her sister, Ann Brandon and husband, David. They had a nice reunion with their sister, Norma Marsh, who lives in Hawaii.
