    3Score plus traveling to Lubbock

    28 juin 2022, États Unis ⋅ ⛅ 77 °F

    We left Tyler at 6:30am and drove towards Dallas. Again we stop at Buc eyes for a bathroom break. At Hope Coffee and finally to Juliet Fowler.

    We ran into Susan Malphurs there at JF. She worked at the CAM office when Glenn was there.

    We enjoyed a hamburger lunch at Northwest Bible Church with mom and dad.

    We left early before the program and drove to Lubbock. We enjoyed 2 hour visit with Hugh and Mary Jane Archer. We’ve known them since 1980 from Grand Prairie Bible Church. What fun to remember our times together. Tim and his 2 adult kids came over for a visit. Hugh didn’t have much to say - adult dementia/memory loss.    En savoir plus

    Silverton Ouay and Norwood

    30 juin 2022, États Unis ⋅ ⛅ 72 °F

    It took us all day to get to our destination of Norwood, Colorado, our “AirBnb” (but vertically free) for the next 7 days.

    We drove thru Silverton, purchased some postcards so I could write to David and Emily whose at camp next week.

    Then a lovely ride to Ouay, the Switzerland of America. Beautiful town nestled in the mountain.

    We had sandwiches out on the picnic table. Then we played Rummy-cube. I won twice.

    Our 1 bedroom suite is perfect. Small refrig. The internet works which helps with our zoom calls this week.    En savoir plus

    Honoring the Claire and Mayann

    2 juillet 2022, États Unis ⋅ ⛅ 88 °F

    We drive 2.5 hours to Grand Junction Colorado to take Claire, his wife Mayann and their 49 year old adult son, Nathan out for lunch.*

    We arrived at their home at noon and sat in their living room for over an hour hearing stories after story of their time on the field in North Africa, over a year of language learning in Switzerland and their challenges and blessing raising a family over seas.

    Claire mentioned that there were three things that they focused on: Faith, Family and Fun. He said that he placed the priority of his family first. Every Friday night was Game night for his family. Even though some other families that they worked with couldn’t understand how this was very important to his family.

    Nathan reminded me of “I am Sam” character played by Sean Penn. He was genuine, sincere and very likable. He loves trains and sports. especially the recent win with the Colorado Avalanche win (hockey).

    Glenn and I took this family out to lunch to a restaurant of their choosing - IHOP, Nathan’s favorite. Again we listened to their story, their struggle and their joys along the way.

    After the meal, we handed them a gift bag of items such as Bath and Body lotion, hand sanitizer, chapstick and several gift cards to Panera Bread, Chic-Fil-lay and Jack-in-the-Box.

    As we drove them home (their front yard is literally Colorado National Monument), I could only thank God for their 50+ years of ministry. They felt love and appreciated and thanked us for the visit.

    Rocky Mountain National Park

    With Danny and Kathy Mockler

    It was 98 in Colorado today, so we drove up to Estes Park. The drive was fun. We each talked about our kids and grandkids. The drive was beautiful coming through Greeley. The AC wasn’t working too good.

    We called the Perkins. No answer. Then drove up to the cabin. No one home. Kathy loved the view. We told them about me breaking my ankle in 2010.

    They had never been to Rocky Mountain National park. Glenn and I immediately said we had to go -Glenn’s park pass! Loved the view.

    Had subway with Nathan and Sarah.

    Then everybody meet at the campgrounds.    En savoir plus

    114 degrees and Dallas

    19 juillet 2022, États Unis ⋅ ☀️ 106 °F

    We left Colorado at 5:00am and drove non-stop to Texas.

    We watched the heat. It was 57 when we left Colorado and by noon it was 100 degrees in the pan handle.

    When we arrived in Wichita Falls it was already 114. Snd brush fires and had to drive 50 miles around the fires.

    We visited mom and dad at Juliet Fowler. Mom was glad to see us.

    Then we drive on to Tyler with a stop in Van to get some goodies for Ellen from Aunt Sarah.    En savoir plus
