Restoring Honor rally

Amazing weekend in DC with Tracy, my sister.
First, the welcome and hospitality we received
was overwhelming from a homeschool
family who recently moved from Omaha to DC.
We didn't know the Panter family.
And the connection to them was
certainly the Lord's doing.

In Omaha the kids and I were
enjoying time with several Discovery
families on a Tuesday morning. I
mentioned trying to find a place to
stay in DC, but was having trouble finding
vacancies. One of the moms there spoke up and said
she knew a family in DC who just
might be crazy enough to have us for
guests! After a few emails, and without
any hesitation Holly in DC said "yes!"

Tracy & I are extremely grateful we were able
to attend the rally and meeting the Panter
family was such a neat bonus!!

Double rainbow!!

One of my favorite things in God's creation are rainbows.
While traveling to Illinois we saw a brilliant, clear DOUBLE
rainbow. This rainbow was visible on both sides of the road,
the ends seemed
to touch down in the Iowa corn fields!

It reminded me that God's blessings are
exponentially more than we can imagine or explain.
I am grateful. He is so.... good to us!
Thank you, Jesus for saving me.

Ephesians 3:20-21 ²⁰Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, ²¹to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.

to be able to attend this historic rally.

I couldn't stop laughing at this spectacle. My sister and Pat are real troopers.
It was a smelly ride back to KC.

OPD stables

Omaha Police Dept has a full mounted division. The officers work all shifts from the
downtown location. It's an extremely nice stable and the horses are beautiful.

Beloit, Wisconsin farmer's market

Our 93 yr old friend, Donna has a saying. "I love you a bushel and a peck and a hug around the neck!" We thought of her when we say the name of this
market in Wisconsin.
