Rest in the Lord and be willing to wait for Him. Psalm 37:7 (NLV)
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, 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, […]
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 […]
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 […]
Wednesday, August 23 I was pleased to begin our vacation early Wednesday morning. The morning sky was pretty behind us… …and ahead of us. At one point the morning sky was expressive. I smiled when I thought this cloud formation looked like an old lady in the wind. 🙂 A Pennsylvania tunnel We checked into […]
Saturday, July 8 Beauty outside our motel in Berlin I was glad that our GPS took us over country roads as we headed toward the interstate. We see wheat shocks on occasion in our area, but not like in Ohio. Love seeing Queen Anne’s Lace I was almost sad to leave this beautiful Amish country. […]
Friday, July 7 We had seen this advertisement in previous years when we were in Ohio for TFC’s Truck Rally, but always had other things to see. This year we decided to stop. One of the first things I noticed was goats on the roof of the barn – and wondered how they got there? […]
Friday Morning, July 7 We had just gotten on the road when Cerwin’s hearing aide beeped, so we went back to the motel. He forgot to bring extra batteries along in the car. We had rain during the night so it was a rather wet, but beautiful morning. While Cerwin went back to our room […]
Monday, May 15 We left the Myers just before 7:00 AM – in a sprinkling of rain. It was early springtime in Maine – with very young leaves. Two hours later we were in work traffic. Then it rained again. Keeping up with a Greyhound When we are going through Hartford we are about halfway […]
Thursday, January 5 We left the Myers’ house shortly about 6:30 am and were soon heading south on the interstate. Sunrise created a pretty silhouette of these buildings. Leaving Maine By 8:15 we were at our usual stop for fuel and a McDonalds breakfast sandwich. I think we have been stopping at this exit for thirty years. […]
New Year’s Day 2017 We were up early (3:45 am), out of the house by 5:15 am, and on the road for two hours by daybreak. 8:00 am Crossing the Tappan Zee Bridge (8:10 am) and seeing the progress of the new bridge. We could see New York City through the bridge railings. Traveling at bridge […]
November 6, 7, and 8 Cerwin needed to do some maintenance on the Greensboro, North Carolina, chapel, but we had trouble finding three days in a row when nothing else was going on. Finally we decided to leave after taking Josh and Allie out to lunch on the 6th (see last nights post) and travel […]
Sunday, November 13 After worshiping with friends at Brunswick Church of the Brethren and enjoying a baked potato bar lunch in the fellowship hall, we had a relaxing afternoon at Mark and Diane’s house. Now that the wedding was over, Diane had time to enjoy Anthony. Anthony’s mom, Abby, showing him something on her cell phone. Anthony loves books about […]
Friday, October 14 My Nikon 55-300 lens stopped working during the summer – no longer doing automatic focus. I played with it for awhile – using manual focus, but eventually got weary of that and took it to the repair shop. The cost of repair was more than we wanted to pay for an old lens. Cerwin did some […]
Tuesday, August 9 Our group walking to the cave. Waiting for our boat to come in. 🙂 The lights of the boat. The sights of the cave. We saw lots of stalactites (hanging like icicles) and stalagmites (growing up from the floor like statues). Meeting another boat This picture and the next two were taken […]
Sunday, July 10 It was obvious that the Amish in the area had worship services, because we met many of them as we began our drive home – shortly after 7:00 AM. This was not as comfortable a drive for me as I am usually familiar with, since Cerwin was driving the International Chapel back to […]
Thursday, July 7 Yes, we are going through the Pennsylvania tunnels again – and heading west. This time to Ohio for the TFC Truck Rally. I enjoy seeing farm scenes when we travel. I also enjoy the mountains, rivers, and bridges. We had about this much rain – a few drops – just before arriving […]
Thursday, January 7 This is what the sky looked like when we left the Myers’ house at 6:20 AM. I love driving while the sun in rising. About an hour and twenty minutes after leaving the Myers’ we were crossing the bridge from Maine to New Hampshire. Early morning industry Watching construction on Tappan Zee […]
Sunday, January 3 Our annual New Year’s trip to Maine – to visit with Mark and Diane’s family – was delightfully uneventful, consequently I read and didn’t take many pictures. This was the 7:00 AM sunrise – about two hours into our trip. We were fascinated by construction on the new Tappan Zee Bridge – over […]
Thursday, December 31, 2015 This trip was a Christmas gift to us from 2014 – from Roy and Deb. Their goal was to take us to the Delaware Cabela’s sometime during 2015 – and they did – on the very last day. 🙂 While Cerwin and I waited at a red light – on the way […]
Saturday, November 7 We enjoyed seeing how their apple cider is made. Inside the store, there was an active bee hive. Transporting an Amish sulky. Our last stop with the guide was Kitchen Kettle Village where we had time to shop before a late lunch. By this time of day the village was full of people. […]
Saturday, November 7 As we drove in the lane, our guide told us that this tourist stop began when the lady of the house set aside one room of their house to sell quilts, then another, and another. Eventually she told her husband that they needed a separate building, because she wanted her house back. Our guide […]
Saturday, November 7 One of our Sunday school classes reserved a school bus, driver, and tour guide for a day-tour of Amish Country in Lancaster County. They were looking for some extra people, and we happened to be talking to Ron and Brenda after church one evening when they asked if we were interested in going along. We had […]
Tuesday, September 8 It was a nice day for a ten-hour drive from Maine to Pennsylvania. Leaving Maine We passed several vehicles with this logo – Team Rock Ministries. I took this picture so I could remember the name and check out what their ministry. From the internet: http://teamrockministry.com/ Team Rock exists to proclaim Christ […]
Thursday, September 3 We were out of the house shortly after 5 AM on Thursday morning for our annual Labor Day weekend trip to Maine. It was a cloudy morning, so we didn’t see a sunrise, but as we rounded this turn (about 6:45 AM) near the New Jersey line – there was the sun! We […]
Friday Morning, July 10 Enjoy the scenery as we slowly travel over country roads. I missed my dad. He would have enjoyed this drive. This horse was as interested in me as I was of it. Oh, I enjoyed that. I hope you did too. ~~~ Our next stop will be Mount Hope Auction where the Ohio Truck Rally […]
Thursday, July 9 It was a beautiful, slightly hazy morning as we headed west. Tunnels are familiar to those who travel through the mountains on the Pennsylvania Turnpike. Because we’ve had lots of rain, foliage is lush and green. Trucks always get my prayerful attention. Breezewood was our first stop – for breakfast. This was the most attractive Bob […]
