Joyce and Barry Vissell September 28, 2025

Welcome to our home. Yeah, I hope the weather is good for you wherever you are.

So, we just finished a really wonderful visit with our son. We don’t get to see him that often. He and his husband live in Portland and they drove down and it was so special and and it reminds me of of a time.

So when we were 42, we found out that we were pregnant for the fourth time and we were not happy. Two reasons. One, Barry had just finished doing a whole tour of Europe. We were going to be in different cities doing different workshops that we were going to do.

Yeah. He said I hadn’t just done it, but I was planning it.

Sorry.

Yeah, that’s right. Okay.

That’s what I meant.

I got confused, too. Yeah, he planned this amazing thing and we’re going to do a family retreat I think in Belgium, maybe.

So that was that. It was all set except we didn’t have our plane tickets yet. Our two daughters were 7 and 12 and we were going to take them with us as part of their homeschool. (You can continue at marker 1:29 on the video above).
