On the Road Again

(This picture can be enlarged by clicking on it.)

This picture was taken back in March, 2009, when Betsy and I spent a few days in a delightful cabin at Serenity Falls in the Smokies.

I'm posting this today because we are once again taking a blog break. We'll be doing more traveling this time rather than staying in one place, but I expect we'll both come back with plenty of pictures to share.

We'll be away for the rest of June, and I'll see you in July.

********************
I would like to thank each and every one of you for your kind words and prayers on the passing of my mother. The funeral was hard for my Dad (he'll be 99 in August) but he was doing pretty well on Thursday. The entire family felt surrounded and uplifted by your thoughts and prayers. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Mom and Dad

This picture of Mom and Dad was taken a couple of years ago when we were at their house for the Fourth of July. They usually put up a fuss when we try to get their picture, but this time they let me get a quick picture.

Betsy and I will be going to Hendersonville today to help out Mom and Dad. We'll be gone all day, so I'll catch up with you as quickly as I can.

Celebrating Dad's Birthday

(This picture can be enlarged by clicking on it.)

Today is my father's birthday. We went to Hendersonville yesterday to help them out, and while we were there Yvonne, a member of Mom and Dad's Sunday School class, came over with a homemade birthday cake (and hat) for Dad. In this picture Mom and Dad are seated and Yvonne is standing behind Dad.

Incidentally the picture over Yvonne's head and the one to right of her are pictures of Betsy and me in our younger days!
