California ~ March 2018

A Sunday evening drive

Sometimes, when I’m feeling kinda down, I take a drive. The evening of Father’s Day I did just that. I brought my camera, looking for beauty, for God in creation (having experienced that topic in an “indoor outdoor worship service” that morning at Bloomingdale Mennonite Church).

The weather for the last several days had been unsettled, rain and sun, sometimes at the same time. I got some dramatic sky pictures. When I got to the park in Stratford it was raining lightly. Billie and I waited in the car until most of the drops had quit, then started our walk by the river. A rainbow was evident. I also took iconic Stratford pictures, the river, the theatre, the swans.

On my way home another rainbow appeared in the sky. It accompanied me from New Hamburg to Kitchener.

California, August ’16

Once again I got to spend 10 days with my favourite grandchildren, including Volker’s 3rd birthday. Here are some pictures:

Cottage Weekend

Southampton sunsetI was privileged to stay at the Lishman’s cottage at Southampton this past weekend. Though I had a migraine the whole time it was mostly controlled by drugs and I had a good time!

Sister Cheryl and her little companion Maggie joined me Friday night and Saturday. I had to drive to Bloomingdale for church on Sunday as I was leading the service. After lunch I drove back to the cottage and stayed till Tuesday morning. Sister Martha dropped in for awhile on Momday afternoon. She snapped the photo of Billie and me.

I took a lot of pictures! Here are about a third of them
