Final Post of 2022 -The Ark Encounter
One of the families from church was able to get some discounted tickets for The Ark Encounter. We’ve wanted to go but never wanted to pay the price they were charging for tickets. So since we got these for $20 less per ticket we decided to go. The boys had to work, unfortunately, so it…

Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas from our family to yours! We had a beautiful church service Christmas morning. I love being able to celebrate the birth of our Saviour in church. I had cooked most of Sunday’s lunch the day before, and I put a ham to slow cook in the oven while we were at church. So…

Crazy Winter Weather and Christmas Eve
As I’m sure a lot of you delt with the same thing, we had some crazy weather move in Christmas weekend. Single digits, below zero and awful winds. With the windchill being well below zero, we stayed home as much as we could. So while the wind was howling and the snow was falling, we…

Italy Part Six
Friday, September 23. Once again we enjoyed our slow pace in the morning, reading our Bibles together, drinking our coffee and eating our cereal for breakfast. The airb&b did not have any bowls, though, so we had to get creative. But it worked! Since this was our last day in Italy and we had the…

Wednesday, September 21 – Our airb&b in Verona had a coffee maker in it.

There was something so satisfying about brewing my own cup of coffee. We still…

Italy Part Three
Tuesday, September 20. After another breakfast of croissants and coffee, we headed to our first destination of the day. The Bell Tower. We took an elevator to the top of this very tall building.

Italy Part Two
Monday, September 19 We had our first “Italian breakfast”. This was much different than we expected. Coffee shops there do not have places to sit. It’s normal to just go in, order your croissant, your “shot” of coffee, eat it standing up at the counter, then pay and head out. It was good though. This…

Italy Trip Part 1
Trevor and I had an opportunity to go to Italy this month. He was asked to perform a wedding ceremony for a friend of ours and so I decided to go with him. I’ve never been overseas before and I was nervous and excited all at the same time. We left on Saturday, September 17…
