Washington DC, Part II

Dale’s sister, and our son and his wife, arrived on Wednesday to visit with us and see the sights. I had been given a list of everything they wanted to visit, so I developed a grueling, four-day itinerary. I didn’t realize how jampacked it was until we did it! But,...

Friends Stop by for a Visit

Earlier this week some friends who are living in Georgia came up for a quick 24-hour visit. We have known Judith for quite a while. She is one of the Harris Family kids, of the Round Rock Harrises. Ha Ha! She and Josh, and the baby, are missionaries! How cool...

Answered Prayers, Wedding Date Set!

We had one week where Dale, J and I would be together before leaving on our trip. I hoped, and prayed, that God would provide two things: a dress and a venue. He gave us both. All glory to Him for these gifts. If it had not happened, we would...

Wedding in the Rear View Mirror

It’s been just over two months since D and A’s wedding. I can’t imagine a more beautiful day or location for such a special event. It was cool and sunny. A’s planning made everything go so smoothly. We were surrounded by family and friends. It was really perfect. The morning...

Our 28th Anniversary

Today is Saturday, November 27. It’s a cool, dreary day. It’s a good day. We were married on a very similar day 28 years ago in New Bern, NC. What an amazing journey it’s been! And, I expect we will enjoy many more adventures, God willing. The last two days...
