Bill & Adele Drop In For A Visit

We had a great visit with Bill & Adele. It's always fun to have visitors from our home church in Grass Valley, California stop by! Bill & Adele were heading to Mt. Joy, PA to volunteer with their mission, Global Aid Network. They'll spend the next several weeks packing pallet-sized boxes for humanitarian relief efforts all over the world. When not helping pack pallets they make regular trips to the Ukraine and to Russia as part of evangelistic teams helping spread the gospel.

Keith & Bill

Keith leads Bill & Adele on a tour of MMS.

We spent Saturday evening talking, getting caught up, drinking hot tea and eating a plate-load of Karen's freshly baked molasses/gingersnap cookies. We worshiped together Sunday, toured MMS, and then had lunch at Unusual Junction which is a train-themed specialty items/specialty food shop which also has a grill where you can have lunch.

The Lava Rock Grill, inside Unusual Junction has great food and amazing hamburgers but can sometimes be a test of your patience as service can take a little longer than some are inclined to wait. No one goes there for FAST food. They go there for freshly grilled 1/2 pound angus hamburgers and killer onion rings/fries, and great coleslaw in a 70's rock and roll and "Price Is Right" venue (though the actual background music is more from the 50's). A large section of the original "Price is Right" wall from the actual game show set is there, signed by Bob Barker himself. It's also your one-stop shop for hot sauce, Amish specialty food products, and exotic olives. The building looks like an old train depot and has several actual train cars coming out of one end of the building. It's unusual, all right. There's even a miniature Statue of Liberty outside. And a bridal gown shop.

So we enjoyed our slow food, enjoyed our fellowship, and said our goodbye's as Bill & Adele continued on their way to Mt. Joy. Hey, next time you stop in for a visit...maybe we'll go out for some slow food.
