We were able to park behind Lee and
Dottie’s garage – that night there was a major thunder and lightning rain
storm. It took only a few minutes to realize we couldn’t have our windows open
even a crack! The damp side of the bed wasn’t a problem, since the temperature
was plenty warm. And it dried quickly.
Their church is large and has
several services. The pastor’s message encouraged the congregation to embrace a
multi-generational crowd. We appreciated that the elders (us!) were to be respected!
In Sunday School we learned about some of the issues that minorities face in
the American church. I think we both learned something.
Their son Jon, his wife LaShawn and
son Daniel came over for lunch. I (Heather) was the first visitor for Jon after
his birth. Our apartment was right next to the hospital, so it was a short walk
over (in 1974).
Today we couldn’t resist stopping to
enjoy a train ride in North Freedom, WI. It wasn’t far out of the way, and we
made it a lunch stop, too. The 2 cars they pulled were 99 and 100 years old,
but restored! Our conductor, a college student, owns his own caboose - 100+
years old!!
Summer has arrived and with it, road
construction. We haven’t been slowed down much, just inconvenienced having to
share one lane with all!
We spent the night in MN – now on to
SD.
