Monday, September 19 When I typed the date this evening, I remembered that this was my Grandma Hershey’s birthday. I checked. She would have been 119 today. We were on the road this morning by 6 am. It was about 7 am before I could take good pictures. It was a beautiful, hazy, hot morning […]
Sunday, September 18 8:00 am. The first Sunday worship service in the New Caney chapel. Chaplain Don DeSimone welcomed us to the “Chapel at 242” and mentioned that he felt unified in the Spirit with the TFC staff who came to help them dedicate this chapel to the Lord. I am sure that we will be forever friends […]
Saturday, September 17, 2016 The chapel in its morning beauty when we arrived about 9:30 am. We are at the same motel (LaQuinta) as Doug and Ellen Kraus, so they are driving us to and from our activities. That way we can let the truck at the truck stop. They drove here from Florida. We […]
Friday, September 16, 2016 Cerwin and Dwayne went to the chapel early and helped the local men set up the chapel. By the time Doug, Ellen, and I got there this is what it looked like. A pastor friend of the New Caney ministry team, David Lino (dark blue shirt) stopped in to see the chapel. I […]
Thursday, September 15 This is what the inside of the chapel looked like when we arrived on Thursday morning. Dwayne and Cerwin hooked up the lights and fixtures. Chaplain Don talking to his wife and telling her what Doris was doing, so I took a picture of him. 🙂 Cerwin installing LED tube lights. That […]
Tuesday, September 13 I took a few pictures after I posted on Tuesday evening and will start with those. After supper we exercised our legs and walked around the truck lot at Flying J in Texarkana. By this time it was a busy place – with trucks continually arriving for the evening. We were glad we […]
Tuesday, September 13 – Knoxville, Tennessee, to Texarkana, Arkansas Our view out the front window when we went to bed last night – the fuel island. My office in the bottom bunk. My power source for the computer, Nook, and cell phone. Cerwin reading his Daily Bread this morning. Nashville traffic Nashville We are taking […]
Monday, September 12 – Marietta, Pennsylvania, to Knoxville, Tennessee We went to bed early last night – because our alarm would be blaring its wake-up call at 3 AM. – but not before seeing the beautiful sunset. Ready to leave – 5 am Monday morning. We were only on the road a short time when […]
Monday Morning, September 12 The chapel area includes boxes of chairs and other items for inside the chapel. The office/living quarters also has items – like outside awnings – that will be installed when we get to Houston. Another view of the living quarters. Please pray for us today as we travel to Knoxville, Tennessee. Our […]
September 9, 10, 11 If you follow my blog and Facebook page you know that I rarely post pictures in real time – or in this case a bit ahead of real time. 🙂 But I have reason to post these pictures this morning. (Read the last paragraph.) We are currently enjoying the gospel music festival […]
Sometimes I just stand in awe when I see the sky.
Friday, September 2 We don’t often see Katydid’s in our woodlot, but we DO HEAR them. They get so loud at night that it becomes difficult to talk when we have a picnic. 🙂 The cicada (locust) sing during the day, then about dusk the katydids join them with a deeper song. By dark the cicadas […]
Sunday, August 28 It was about the middle the afternoon on Sunday when I felt bored and called the boys to see if they wanted to play Scum. They were here within minutes. 🙂 They didn’t know how to play but were fast learners. Jesse used barriers so he didn’t have to hold his cards. […]
Saturday Evening, August 27 Josiah heard about our visit to Rooster Street with Jordan, and thought he would rather go there than the place he originally chose for his 2016 birthday gift. I tried to look for some new things to photograph. If you want water, this is where you get it. If you want to pay […]
Saturday, August 27 This was part of our “Grandchildren’s Week”, but the Saturday of that week – in the middle of August – and the next Saturday did not suit us. On Saturdays and Sundays the sanctuary is open to the public. At other times you must make appointments – and it can be difficult to get […]
Friday, August 26 Glenn shaping the Formica countertop for the chapel area – right inside the main entrance. Our grandson Josiah stopped in to help. Cerwin gave him the job of filling in the nail holes with putty. Cerwin said he puttied a bunch of them. Thanks, Josiah. Cerwin installing chair railing. ~~~ Saturday, August 27 Cerwin and […]
