Our Anniversary Dinner

Tuesday, September 14

Lily’s On Main

 

 

The evening of our forty-seventh wedding anniversary.

 

 

 

 

Cranberry bread

 

 

My salad with blue cheese dressing.

Cerwin prefers thousand island – or something similar.

 

 

While we enjoyed salads and waited for our entree’s, we watched the activity on the sidewalk below us. Lily’s is on the second floor.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I love brick sidewalks.

 

 

 

 

Cerwin’s entree: Beef Filet Tips with sauteed mushrooms and shallots, and mashed potatoes, served in Marsala wine sauce.

 

 

My entree: Raspberry Chicken (baked breast coated with almond bread crumbs), melted brie, mashed potatoes, Chambord sauce

 

 

We always share this dessert, a delicious cake with layers of grapefruit, orange, lemon, and lime.

If I remember correctly, you cannot get this in fall and winter.

 

 

 

I love coming to this restaurant just before sunset, because the minute the sun has gone below the buildings, a staff person opens all the curtains.

I took this picture after a few other patrons left, so they didn’t think I was taking their photo.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There is a beautiful waterfall below the entrance steps.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hallway to the parking lot

 

 

Main Street

 

 

Our table was inside the two windows on the left.

 

 

I haven’t done this for awhile – played with the camera when it’s too dark to take pictures without a flash.

 

 

The display on the left is a car going past us in the opposite direction.

 

 

Do any of the locals know where this is? This is another restaurant on 322 (not Lily’s).

 

 

The end of a great day.

She won, and it arrived a few days ago. To see it go to here.

Truckers’ Jamboree

Saturday, September 11

Calvary Monument Bible Church, Paradise, PA

 

 

We were honored to take TFC’s International Chapel to this celebration of truckers and the ministry of Transport For Christ.

 

 

There were sixteen shiny trucks.

 

 

A young driver tells TFC’s Director of Chaplain Wellness, Bunny O’Hare, how his recent commitment to follow Jesus has changed his life.

 

 

Donuts and coffee were available by 9:00 a.m.

 

 

It’s obvious that these three were enjoying them.

 

 

A barrel train was just one of the activities for the children. The barrels were full most of the day.

 

 

Amanda’s face and arm painting was lots of fun for the children.

 

 

 

 

Jamboree Hats for Sale

 

 

Drivers did their best to have their rig looking good for the judge.

 

 

This one is a favorite.

 

 

Dick Summers waits in the background while Randy Sauder judges his truck. Randy’s son Josiah went along with his dad to each truck, so will probably soon be qualified to be a judge as well.

 

 

I liked that this driver had decorated his truck with two small American flags.

 

 

 

 

Everything was free today – including lunch – thanks to Calvary Monument Bible Church.

 

 

 

 

The band “Forgiven” presented a great, lively gospel concert.

 

 

 

 

Drivers and their families watched and listened from their trucks.

 

 

Bunny shared a challenging message on forgiveness.

 

~~~

Then it was time for the judges awards.

~~~

 

It was obvious that this rig was not going to get first place – but it did receive sixteenth place – “The truck with the most potential.”

 

 

 

 

     

 

 

 

 

Earlier in the day I caught Nancy Sensenig polishing one of her trucks with the sleeve of her sweater.

 

 

It must have paid off, because it won first place – which was a hot air balloon ride for two people.

They give out great prizes, so you may want to bring your truck next year. Second prize was two tickets to sight & sound.

Every driver received something – from meals in a local restaurant to travel coffee cups. I helped Cerwin give out the prizes, so didn’t get any photos of that event.

 

 

We enjoyed meeting the drivers and their families, and showing the chapel to many visitors.

 

 

By 4:00 p.m. we began tearing down and prepared to take the chapel back to TFC’s shop.

 

 

If you are looking for an old truck to restore, this one is waiting for a professional touch – just a short distance from the church.

 

 

The evening sky was beautiful when we pulled into the International Office.

 

 

 

The amazing grace of the Master, Jesus Christ, the extravagant love of God, the intimate friendship of the Holy Spirit, be with all of you.
