Today I remember my grandfather, Clair Packer who would have marked his 110 birthday. May he rest in peace.
Today’s Saint is Conrad of Piacenza know for “The Miracle of the Bread”
Today’s ponder: “Can ordinary man hate the world enough to change it and yet love it enough to think it worth changing.”
Today we see our amish friends Henry & Linda. They moved here last fall. Henry now and again called and said stop in today and say hi. We would laugh and comment on the 10 hr drive to do that. Today we will, and hopefully they will be home for us to do that. We will then travel on to Monowi, NE which I have wanted to see for years now. It is a small town with a population of 1 just over the border. From there we will wander around till we find another mom & pop motel to spend the night in. I am enjoying our great adventure. The man and I haven’t taken the time these past 50 yrs to vacation. Perhaps more truthfully we were too busy working to make time for one. Sometimes in life making a living interfers with enjoying each others company. Our intent this month was to spend time with each other as we spent time wandering the countryside seeing people and places. Thus far we have taken in Wisconsin’, Iowa’, Missouri’, Kansas*’, Oklahoma*+, Texas*+, Minnesota’, South Dakota*’, and Nebraska*’. * denotes it is a plains state, ‘ denotes midwest states, + denotes southern states. I’ve always found interest in knowing things like geography and history. This trip has allow us the time to find things out we other wise wouldn’t have bothered to think about. Hopefully you are enjoying the information as well.
Know you are prayed for.
