Fall Walk and Short Missions Talk

Fall Walk
Last year we posted "Tucker & Tanner On The Trail". Yesterday, Tucker & Tanner took us out on another walk and told us to take the camera. Being good humans we obeyed our dogs.

Warm sun, cool air.

Tucker: "Can we take a short break?"

Tanner: "Come on, Tucker...KEEP UP!"

Karen and Tucker take a break by the pond.

Life simply overflows with God's blessings.

"But I don't want to go home yet..."

Missions Talk
We hope to soon have a newsletter out bringing you up to speed on The Spirit's work in our lives, the mission agencies we're talking with, and about a local volunteer opportunity we're exploring as we wait on and pray for the Lord's direction!

Dad & Jane Visit Graham, NC

Laguna Woods, CA to Graham, NC
Dad and Jane dropped in from California for their annual visit last week. It was nice to take a break and do some touristy things while they were here: eat out, take a nap, sit and watch airplanes, nap, eat some more and then watch birds, take a nap, visit a grist mill, visit the Burlington Royals Stadium, eat out, whale on some Apple Fritters, and did I say...take a nap? Nice. We needed some fun. Yes, at our age naps ARE FUN! Ha. Here are some snapshots of our time together:

Here we are outside "The Old Mill of Guilford" which is a working grist mill dating back to 1767!

One of the mill workers mixes a grain recipe for grinding.

Two other mill workers bag and package finished products.

Dad & Jane in the mill's store.

Some of the scenery near the mill.

Two of the wild birds we watched in our back yard.

Two old birds watching airplanes at Burlington Regional Airport.

One Hot Chick I spent some time watching.

Jane & Karen worked a jigsaw puzzle in the afternoons.

Me and my Dad.
