Photos From My Trip
I thought you would enjoy seeing some photos from my trip. It was a such a special time, and photos say a lot more than words can….
-
- Reunion with friends of mine from university days.
-
- With my cousin Jon, his wife, kids and some friends of their kids.
-
- Reconnecting with Miriam, a friend who knew my mother, and who has been faithfully praying for me since we first met in the early 1980s
-
- A fun road trip to Ohio with Emily, Don and their daughter (right).
-
- With friends Sue and Dasil
-
- A visit to Lake Michigan where I saw this sign…
-
- With Emily and Eric, fishing near their home.
-
- Amaya, my oldest granddaughter on a 1920s carousel at the museum
-
- Amaya loves history and wanted to go to the museum. She was thrilled to see this actual part of the Berlin Wall.
-
- The reason she wanted to come was to visit the King Tut exhibit, all the way from Egypt.
-
- I was looking forward to it. I had seen part of it once, during a trip to Egypt over 20 years ago!
-
- Imagine my surprise when there, on display was the same throne and footstool I’d remembered seeing when I was in Egypt! Since then, I’ve never forgotten the verse, “Heaven is my throne and the earth my footstool…”
-
- Amaya and I on the carousel
-
- Ben at the Children’s Museum where he built a tower around himself.
-
- He then designed a different tower out of transparent glass.
-
- With Ivy after visiting “Build-a-Bear” where she created a new friend: Miss Luna–a unicorn who sings lullabies
-
- With Ben on a trip to Grassfield’s Farms
-
- In one of the fields at Grassfield’s farms
-
- With the kids and friends at Grassfield’s Farms
-
- The kids gave me flowers that I enjoyed in this vase at Sue’s house
-
- Lloyd, Kristina, the kids and I went to the races at Berlin Raceway. We only paid $5 for admission for all of us. I had tried to use a coupon, but it was too late to use it so they offered me free tickets if I promised to come back again. I said I couldn’t do that as I was visiting from Israel and wanted to treat my kids and grandkids. The person on the other end of the phone was quiet a minute and then asked for my name and told me, “There will be four free tickets waiting for you!”
-
- This was Abigail’s first race, Ben’s too, I think.
-
- Asa Roy at the races.
-
- Headphone protected our ears from the sounds of the cars.
-
- Abigail seemed to enjoy herself!
-
- Sue and friends from the congregation I used to go to. We couldn’t stop laughing!
-
- My friend Sue and her sister-in-law Louise. Rich and I visited Louise’s home after our legal wedding in Grand Rapids.
-
- A flower I liked in Louis’s garden
-
- Amaya loved the family picnic.
-
- Abigail enjoys fruit.
-
- Roy (left) with Emily’s husband, Eric (right).
-
- At last a picture of Andrea… I have no idea what they were looking at.
-
- Emily knew how to make me smile!
-
- All the family together, though we did miss Ivy (Jess)…
-
- I had to take a picture of this sign as well.
-
- My cousin Lori with her husband Jeff.
-
- Me… just to prove I was there.
-
- Lori, Jeff, and I went to a museum in Jim Thorpe (formerly Mauch Chunk) Pennsylvania. The museum also serves as a Presbyterian Church and has this window in the main “worship” hall. The tour guide asked us if we liked it. I told him “No.” He asked why. I explained that this picture places all religious as equal, and there is only one way to God, through Jesus. The guide wasn’t happy with my answer, and I think he was glad to see us go. But then, walking down the street, Jeff, Lori, and I met someone else who started talking to us about his problems, and he did want to hear about Jesus!

- My cousin Marge’s birthday celebration.
