We took the 7am flight to Chicago.

And lunch at our favorite, Gino’s East!

We are in Chicago for meetings at Moody Bible institute for 3 days. Then Ellen will pick us up and take us to Fisher for the weekend.

At Moody Bible Institute
18. Oktober 2023 in den USA ⋅ ☁️ 63 °F
We had to skip the morning message as we were involved with a zoom call with members of member Care that support the retirees.

Unfortunately the Wi-Fi didn’t work and our call dropped several times.

We spent the afternoon at moody and visited all the major buildings.

I ran into many old friends.

Joseph Stowell spoke the first night.

Ellen arrived and is staying with us at the hotel for the night. We took Elizabeth, Annie and Amanda to McDonald’s. And then to the evening session with the girls. We walked the 10 blocks to the school. It was just drizzling.Weiterlesen

Its my birthday
20. Oktober 2023 in den USA ⋅ ☀️ 57 °F
I’m “JudyfromMoody” and I just spent my day on Alumni Day at Moody Bible Institute, my favorite school.

God bless the school that D L Moody founded.

We ran into more friends from our college day.

The alumnus of the year award goes to 1970 graduate that was the COO of Compassion International

Glenn and I found our “brick”. And on the 1978 Year Book, I found my picture. Notice it is right next to DL Moody.Weiterlesen

My birthday party
20. Oktober 2023 in den USA ⋅ 🌙 55 °F
After 2,000 people celebrated my birthday at MBI, Glenn drove us down to Fisher. We took a wrong turn, but in the long run, it was more relaxing driving on streets than on the freeway during Friday afternoon traffic! The only thing, our GPS was kinda taking us thru questionable neighborhoods. I just wanted to make it out alive.

In the meantime, Emily was preparing our Mexican casserole for my birthday dinner.

When we got home, there was a banner made by Lucy. She asked Ellen how old I was and Ellen replied 62. Wow I feel young!

We had dump cake for my birthday and then watched Home Alone.Weiterlesen

Elizabeth was sick, so we stayed home. We worked a puzzle and played several games. She had a blue hair doll.

Then later in the afternoon, we walked through the neighborhood.

We watched the Texas Rangers win.Weiterlesen

We took the 6:30am flight non stop back to Dallas. And picked up our car in Remote Parking.

We drive to JF to see mom and dad. El Fenix it is! Nice drive to Casa Linda. Mom was very talkative. Cheese enchiladas were hot and delicious.Weiterlesen

Returning Home
25. Oktober 2023 in den USA ⋅ ☁️ 81 °F
I drove back to Tyler while Glenn flew on to Seattle. He is helping Sherrie drive the Uhaul down to Houston.

I helped with the routing. They’ll stay with Dave and Kathi Gibson in Idaho then one of Sherrie’s friend in Colorado and finally the Ferguson’s in Oklahoma City.

Dad joined me for a short ride to Texas State Fair Park. I picked up my second place ribbon cross stitch. Then I visited mom.

I also ran into the lady that needle point all these replicas of candy bar. Beautiful

In the mean time Glenn and Sherrie picked up the uhaul. They load it on Thursday and leave on Friday.Weiterlesen

SURPRISE! Carol’s 70th bday
3. November 2023 in den USA ⋅ ☁️ 55 °F
Glenn and I flew up to Illinois to participate in Carol’s surprise birthday party that Scott organized.

He had a sweet tribute to Carol along with pictures. I’m so glad we made an effort to come up.

We invited granddaughters, Lucy and Elizabeth to join us. We had a nice chat with 39 year old son, Joel.Weiterlesen

Relaxing Saturday!
4. November 2023 in den USA ⋅ ⛅ 45 °F
Today, we had NO soccer games to go to. We stayed at the house, reading, making crafts working puzzles and taking a nap.

In the afternoon, we walked to the new city park.

In the evening, we watched Anne of Green gables.

So glad we get an extra hour I’d sleep as we have a 7am flight to catch.Weiterlesen
