Sunday morning I took the train to Reading where I met up with Graeme Powell and his family and went with them to the worship service at their church – Carey Baptist. I have photos that Graeme wants me to get to Pastor Steve. Meeting Graeme’s family was lovely – his wife, Caroline, and children […]

These posts will by necessity be “succinct”. I spent most of Day -6 (Thursday) in NYC. I did get to see Aunt Mary, who is doing fairly well under the circumstances – in the nursing home. Her 92’nd birthday was two days ago – May 10th! I didn’t get to buy the camera I was […]

It’s official!  I’ve been successful in the draw and have secured a place on the 2012 TGO Challenge!  Actually, I’ve known that for a little over a week now, but today (18th) is the day that the folks in the UK have begun receiving their letters saying yea or nay and now it’s OK to […]

I certainly haven’t been lately!  All I can say is that things have been pretty busy.  But I really want to do this and keep up with it on a regular basis.  So I will keep going, and I do have some other things that I want to say, which should be coming soon.  Thanks […]

It’s been a little while since I’ve posted anything, and I need to do something about that.  After all, now that I have a blog I do have some responsibility to my readers (I do have at least two that I know of–thanks, John and Darren!).  A little over two weeks ago I traveled to […]
