It was a cold start to the day (25 degrees) with lots of frost, which was quite noticeable on the hood of our car.
We saw more beautiful trees on the way to church. We were hoping to see Mt Washington, which is now snow covered, but there was too much haze over the mountain.
We had a good study on Gideon for Sunday school by Josh Minnich and a challenging message from Ray Mummert on the amazing blessing of having the Holy Spirit living within us and being our guide.
Afterwards we met Elizabeth and her children at the Station House Restaurant. Her husband Nsimba was working as was our son-in-law, Mark.
The Station house was an old train station, so there were many train photos on the walls.
Cerwin and our oldest grandchild, Elizabeth. She was 40 years old this year, and Mark and Diane moved to Maine when she was 7 weeks old. That means we have been traveling to Maine for 40 years. Until the last few years, we always went at least twice a year. Now we drive partway by getting a motel in Sturbridge (both ways) and usually go in October when the leaves are pretty.
Nicodemus and Nzeba stopped to read the restaurant sign as we were leaving.
We spent the afternoon at Mark and Diane’s house and had an interesting facetime conversation with their son Hezekiah and his family for Henley’s 2nd birthday. They live in Tennessee.
Henley wasn’t into talking, but we did get her to smile a few times, and she did like when we sang Happy Birthday to her.
Henley’s 4-year-old brother Stetson had a lot to tell us, and Heze told us about the things he is making with his 3-D printer and showed us some of the process.
The sun is setting, it is still cold (45 degrees), Elizabeth and the children went home, Mark is back from work, and Diane just made him a light supper. We were not hungry from the big lunch and ice cream in the late afternoon. Elizabeth called when she got home. When they were driving in their driveway, they heard a loud bang which resulted in them having no electricity. That sounds like a transformer.
Life is interesting and sometimes challenging no matter where you live. 🙂
