Visiting in Wisconsin – Part 2
Tuesday, July 16 There is a small walking bridge on the other side of the rock. I got this picture of K and Reuben without Reuben knowing I was taking it. Now they know I’m here. Another family picture. This huge rock just seems to “be there” in the middle of fields and homes. When […]
Visiting in Wisconsin – Part 1
Tuesday, July 16 We left Bob and Doris’ house shortly after 7:00 a.m. on Tuesday morning – first traveling over the dirt road that goes by their house, then again picking up Route 2 to Duluth. We got a glimpse of Lake Superior in Duluth. Don’t miss the “load” on the truck in the foreground. […]

Picking Strawberries
Monday, July 15 It was a warm, humid morning in Minnesota, so Doris and I decided to go to the strawberry patch early. You can see that Doris (to the left of the greenhouse) got there a few minutes ahead of me – because I was taking pictures. Three hours later we had ten large buckets […]
Sunday Morning Photo Shoot in Minnesota
Sunday morning, July 14 Japheth called to ask if I would do a photo shoot of their family before church. Of course I said I would, even though I prefer doing candid camera work, I figured neither of us had anything to lose. 🙂 I will not publish any of the posed shots – Japheth and […]

and forgive anyone who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others. Colossians 3:13 (New Living Translation)
Sturgeon Fishing in Rainy River, Minnesota
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 […]
Family Night at Bob & Doris’ – The Adults
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 […]
Family Night – Bob & Doris’ MN Grandchildren
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 […]
Visiting Family in Minnesota
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 […]

Calgary, Alberta, to Grand Forks, North Dakota
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 […]
It is GOOD to be home
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.
The Lord is pleased
with those who fear him, with those who wait with hope for his mercy. Psalm 147:11 (GOD’S WORD Translation)
Hot Springs and Supper in Banff
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 […]
Moraine Lake, Alberta, Canada
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 […]
You watch me when I travel
and when I rest. You are familiar with all my ways. Psalm 139:3 (GOD’S WORD Translation)
A Few Facts About Lake Louise
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 […]
Encourage each other every day
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)
Banff, Alberta, Canada – Part 3
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 […]
Banff, Alberta, Canada – Part 2
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 […]
With every sun’s rising

Banff, Alberta, Canada – Part 1
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 […]
Calgary Stampede – Part 7
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 […]
You can get horses ready for battle
but it is the Lord who gives victory. Proverbs 21:31 (Good News Translation)
Calgary Stampede – Part 6
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 […]
Calgary Stampede – Part 5
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 […]
