Train to Chicago

40mph to Chicago

Well we are heading for the airport in Chicago at a very slow speed due to heat restrictions on the tracks. It's about 70 degrees outside. Hmmm...... We've come from Decatur where my dad had a procedure in the cath lab on Friday. Then we spent the night at our friends house in Indiana and caught the train the next morning. Only one train to Chicago per day so we are very very early and the slow speed gives us time to catch up on emails and blogs and all that rigamarole.

Can't wait to get to Chicago and get some breakfast!

Watching from the Porch

The Lord will open the heavens, the storehouse of his bounty, to send rain on your land in season Deut 28:12

Barb has fixed up the porch (and she is out there now) as these past several weeks have been really ideal weather. She can sit on the porch surrounded by pictures of the grandchildren, with her music playing and reading the newspaper, while enjoying the green leaves, the cool breeze, and even the rain. We've also really enjoyed the fresh produce from the micro garden this month. Talk about no guilt healthy eating.
Thank you Lord for answering our prayers and giving us a good measure of rain.

Mother's Day

Betsy, Bryan, Andy

 We went up to Bryan's house for Mother's Day and had a very enjoyable weekend helping around the house, and tasting Michelle's special chicken, sweet potatoes, and roasted brussels sprouts.

It says in the Proverbs he who gets a wife finds favor from the Lord and that sure has been my experience with Barbara

We are also so thankful for the three children and all the blessings they have been to us over the years!
