Another New Song

Bryan has helped me with another new song called In the Garden which is the story of the Fall.

Check it out by clicking the title.

Rangers win 3 to 1

 We thought it would be much more enjoyable to watch the Rangers play in Seattle where temperatures are about 75F rather than in Texas where they are about 100F. So we purchased some good seats on the third base side and took Clementine and Elijah to their first baseball game. Of course they didn't know what was going on but they enjoyed the peanuts, hotdogs etc. and the big screen which showed shots of fans in between innings. It did lay the ground work for running bases and catching a ball later on.

Riding the Rails

Great family fun filled with old trains, period actors, music, farms and the great outdoors!

Sharing Health Care Costs

Samaritan Ministries are one fine example of believers bearing one another's burdens.  We joined them last year and our healthcare related costs have gone down! As you know healthcare in the US is very complicated and expensive. Many people still are not insured even after the landmark legislation, and it certainly has not reduced the costs for ordinary citizens. Samaritan Ministries is another case of good news that goes unpublished. If you decide to join, give them our names and we get a discount.

Our Hosts

While scouting out Luton Town we were warmly hosted by Richard and Mary. They are involved with Chinese students and have visited China several times. They have been living in Luton for quite some time and in addition to being fun, were a wealth of information. They also have a tumble dryer. :-)

Hats R us

The little spotted one wanted us to put on hats (she was very ardent about it). So we donned hats to humor her. Now I can see how they benefit a young ladies wardrobe, but they didn't do much for the masculine!

Riding Easy

Traveling sounds exciting but ... after a slow train to Chicago, thunderstorms delaying our outbound flight, then electrical problems delaying it more we finally arrived in London for another 2 hours of trains to London Road! Fortunately family perks us up after the long road.
