Rest in the Lord and be willing to wait for Him. Psalm 37:7 (NLV)
Sunday Evening, August 27 Supper at Hezekiah’s place I love having our grandchildren cook for us! It was a beautiful evening to have supper on his patio. Oh, yum! Kayla suggested that we might enjoy finishing our time in Nashville by going to the top of a hill and overlook the city at nighttime. It […]
Sunday Afternoon, August 27 We had to wait on this pedal vehicle before pulling into the parking area to the left. As we pulled into the parking lot a man yelled at us – “Good luck in finding a spot.” (We didn’t realize that the Titan’s were playing just across the walking bridge.) About the […]
Today is our fifty-fourth wedding anniversary. I am so grateful for God’s pattern of gracious love.
Sunday Lunch, August 27 We could have walked across the street – from Cowboy Church – to the Gaylord Opryland Hotel, but chose to drive so our cars would be there when we finished lunch. I remembered the beauty of the interior of this hotel complex from a visit many years ago and wanted to […]
Sunday Morning, August 27 We were not familiar with any churches in Nashville, so decided to go to the Cowboy Church in Texas Troubadour Theatre, and were pleased to have Hezekiah and Kayla join us. There is a museum adjoining the theatre. Cerwin was fascinated with Ernest Tubb’s bus. The Cowboy Church uses the theatre […]
Saturday Evening, August 26 After taking Kayla home for a family event, Cerwin, Hezekiah, and I went to Riverview Restaurant & Marina for supper. Part of the Nashville skyline – on the way to Ashland City. Hezekiah watching the activity outside the restaurant. The Cumberland River We watched a variety of boats go by as […]
Saturday afternoon, August 26 After Marcy Jo’s Meal House & Bakery, we picked up Heze’s friend Kayla and went to the Wilson County Fair in Lebanon, Kayla and Heze in front of a pretty quilt. We were impressed with the beautiful displays in the large exhibition center. Poultry and rabbit displays in Poultry Barn […]
Saturday morning, August 26 We enjoyed morning coffee in Hezekiah’s basement apartment. Then we began an all-day road trip with several stops. First we went to a nearby motorcycle shop where Heze purchased saddlebags for his motorcycle. He gave the box to Cerwin so his arms were free to try out a motorcycle that was […]
Friday Evening, August 25 The purpose of this trip was to visit our grandson Hezekiah who lives near Ashland City, Tennessee. After getting to our motel, we stopped in at his place to take him to the Opry – his 2017 birthday gift. We bought food at the Opry so we could eat while waiting […]
Friday, August 25 On the road again – headed toward Tennessee. It was a beautiful day to travel through Kentucky horse country – enjoying coffee “with an attitude” from the motel restaurant. Traveling across a river that was giving off morning fog. We had a delicious breakfast at an interesting, small truck stop restaurant that […]
Thursday Evening, August 24 Following our visit to the Ark Encounter, we went to the motel we had reserved on online – prior to our trip – and were a bit concerned when we saw a small building with individual outside entrances. However, the minute we opened our door we felt welcomed by the personal […]
Thursday Afternoon, August 24 A few pictures from the gift shops at the end of the Ark Encounter tour and the village surrounding the ark. Gift shops at the end of the tour of the ark. There was a variety of choices of things to do at the end of the tour. It was lunchtime, […]
Congratulations to Deb for twenty-three years of running her own business – Basic Designs. September 5, 1994. If you live in our area and pick up Today and Tomorrow magazine, you see her layout and design work. Another example of her work is the Lancaster County Mud Sale magazine.
Thursday, August 24 One interesting thing about the first floor (near the entrance area) is hearing the sound of a storm on the outside. It was fascinating and interesting to observe the cages and sometimes hear the sounds of birds or animals. There were no live animals on the ark except at the petting zoo […]
It was thirty-one years ago today that we helped Mark, Diane, and baby Elizabeth move to Maine – according to the date on this photo – September 4, 1986. This was a step of faith for them after responding to the call of God to move to Maine and help with a new church plant […]
Thursday, August 24 Because I took a lot of photos of this experience, I chose to first tell you a bit about our arrival. Someone had a lot of forethought for this. The parking lot (room for thousands of cars – a website says 4,000) is where we arrived about 10:00 am. The ark can […]
Wednesday, August 23 The grounds outside Creation Museum are beautiful – especially on a sunny, warm, late summer day. The lighting on this flower was a bit shaded, but I like that the shot captured a bee. In this photo you can see part of the zipline challenge course. The petting zoo is in the […]
