Rest in the Lord and be willing to wait for Him. Psalm 37:7 (NLV)
Saturday, July 13 Photos by Cerwin – using his Nikon Coolpix Preparing to put the boat in Rainy River. They have 120 worms for bait. Cerwin caught a 30″ sturgeon – not large enough to keep. Bob’s sturgeon was 34″ long – also not long enough to keep. A sturgeon must be between 45 and 50 […]
Friday evening, July 12 Bob and Doris’ sons Japheth and Jonathan visit with Cerwin as Jeremiah and Japheth Jr. listen. Bob, Cerwin, and Japheth seem to be discussing something about the truck. So why is Japheth on the garage roof? Because Bob and Doris discovered a bat in the house recently, he was checking where […]
Friday evening, July 12 While Bob and Cerwin were getting things together to go Sturgeon fishing on Saturday, Doris and I prepared for their Friday evening family night – which was planned for our benefit – so we could see their son’s families, and they could visit with us. They also have two daughters – Juanita […]
Friday, July 12 We left Grand Forks, North Dakota, about 6:20 a.m. and continued east on Route 2, which would eventually take us almost by Cerwin’s youngest sister, Doris, and her husband, Bob’s house. We saw many large fields of grain and storage bins in western Minnesota. One consistent thing on this entire trip was pretty, roadside […]
with all the strength which comes from his glorious power, so that you may be able to endure everything with patience. Colossians 1:11 (Good News Translation)
Wednesday, July 10 & Thursday, July 11 9:40 a.m. This was our last goodbye to Helen and Dan as they left to go home and we pulled away from the chapel in the TFC tractor. Cerwin preparing his log for the first part of our trip home. Some of Alberta’s flat land. We “breezed through” the […]
after 19 days on the road. It was a FABULOUS 19 days, but it is still good to be home. There will be many more updates as we travel home from Calgary – July 10-19.
with those who fear him, with those who wait with hope for his mercy. Psalm 147:11 (GOD’S WORD Translation)
Tuesday, July 9, was one amazing day. There was beauty when we traveled and when we stopped. It was everywhere we looked. On every side of the road. In the morning we each mentioned some things that we wanted to see. For Cerwin and me, it was Lake Louise and treating Dan and Helen to lunch […]
Tuesday, July 9 This is another beautiful place to visit in the Canadian Rockies. If you look closely, you can see people on top of the rock pile in the foreground. My zoom lens will help you better see them. The log jam seems to have been here for a long time. This area has […]
and when I rest. You are familiar with all my ways. Psalm 139:3 (GOD’S WORD Translation)
I found some of the posted information around Lake Louise to be quite interesting. We saw a lot of these Clark’s Nutcrackers around Lake Louise. A large stream that was flowing out of Lake Louise. I’ll be back here on Thursday night, as we won’t have internet until then. My next set of pictures will […]
while you have the opportunity. If you do this, none of you will be deceived by sin and become stubborn. Hebrews 3:13 (GOD’S WORD Translation)
Lake Louise – Part 1 This is a sight I had seen in photographs, but never in person. Helen and Dan The Chateau is a short walk from the familiar scenic area. With my back to the Chateau. Using my zoom lens to see the snow on the mountains. I took a walk through […]
The second part of our day trip was lunch at Stanley Thompson Club House. The last time we were here, it was fall, and the golf course was full of elk. We didn’t expect that to happen this time of year. The waitress said that only happens around New Year and September or October. It was fun to […]
surprise us with Your love, satisfy us with Your kindness. Then we will sing with joy and celebrate every day we are alive. Psalm 90:14 (The Voice)
Tuesday Morning, July 9 We had previously planned this day with Dan and Helen, and were anxious to see the Canadian Rockies up close. We had been to Banff in 2000 when we saw the Rockies from the western side. This was our first approach from the east. As we began our entrance into the […]
Closing program for the day – the Grandstand Show The evening program was not all according to my taste or likes, but it was certainly an elaborate celebration. These guys sang acapella bebop. There were lots of fireworks – and because we were in the upper level, the fireworks were straight across from us at times. We […]
but it is the Lord who gives victory. Proverbs 21:31 (Good News Translation)
Afternoon Break & Chuckwagon RacesAfter the rodeo we walked around the grounds and enjoyed some of the sights and sounds. Dennis asked me to take this picture to prove to some one that he was a cowboy – I think TFC President, Scott Weidner. 🙂 A pretty wagon This looks like an old chuckwagon. We enjoyed another working […]
Bull Riding and Wild Pony Rides A clown preparing for the bull riding competition. Out of the gate! This is a good visual of how valuable the clowns are to the bull riders. Wild pony racing is a youth competition. There are teams of three, and it appears that they all try to help a […]
who reflect the Good News about Christ. Philippians 1:27 (GOD’S WORD Translation)
Monday Afternoon, July 8 The initials CS were everywhere around the grounds. The C was in the form of a horseshoe. I like this reflection in the muddy water as the sun came out during the afternoon. Bareback riding There was novice bareback and bareback. I am not sure which is which in these […]
we have won more than a victory because of Christ who loves us. Romans 8:37 (Contemporary English Version)
Monday afternoon, July 8 Tie down roping As soon as the calf is released – after tie-down – it seems to know exactly where to go. Whoops! That one got away. That one didn’t get away. Nor did the rest of them get away. Waiting for his turn. The winner. Junior Steer Riding Even though […]
“When he talked to us on the road, it felt like a fire burning in us. How exciting it was when he explained to us the true meaning of the Scriptures!” Luke 24:32 (Easy-to-Read Version)
After seeing as many carnival activities as we could handle, we went to the animal barns. There were several activities going on outside the barns. Old equipment display. During a heavy rain, we went inside this show barn to see what was going on. There was sheep herding competition. It was interesting to watch the difference between an […]
It was a drizzly, rainy morning when we arrived at the Stampede on Monday. Pretty flowers at the entrance. The carnival area takes up most of the outside space. We decided this one – that flipped back and forth from bottom to top – was not for us. Nor was this one for us. It worked […]
in prayers and requests while giving thanks. Then God’s peace, which goes beyond anything we can imagine, will guard your thoughts and emotions through Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7 (GOD’S WORD Translation)
