I’ve been off work for the last week, and Mark only has one day left of work. I thought I’d share some recent photos… Continue reading

From Stone Mountain, GA
I had never heard of Stone Mountain, GA before we started planning this trip, but it was a place Mark wanted to see. It just so happened that I have another friend I had never met before who lives on the opposite side of Atlanta and he and his wife were free to meet us tonight. Here are today’s pictures: Continue reading
From Harper’s Ferry, WV
In 1976, when my family came to Harper’s Ferry, it was dusk, but I had the impression that it was a beautiful, quaint little town. I seem destined to arrive here at dusk, but I had a very good reason for arriving at dusk this time… Continue reading
Arlington National Cemetery and Second chapter of Acts
Today was a spiritual day in many ways. I wanted to take Mark to Arlington National Cemetery today while we finally had full sun and then Denise Fuller invited me to an Acts 2 event that friends of hers had invited her to. Mark and I both had a sense of reverence all day. Continue reading
Places to go, things to do, people to see!
This morning Mark and I took the truck into downtown Washington DC to do some sightseeing. But first we had to find parking, and by then we were hungry so we had lunch. We were on 6th St a block from Independence Ave. We had a long way to go from where we parked. Continue reading
From Andrews AFB, MD
It’s been kind of an exciting day. The most exciting part was getting to hear the voice of my twin, Denise Fuller, on the other end of my phone line this evening! We are in Maryland near Washington DC and we will have five days here to explore and also to spend time with her. She and I have never met yet, but we’ve been emailing each other for about a year and a half and becoming fast friends. I’ll get into that more in the next few days. In the meantime, here’s today’s news… Continue reading
MCC and Gettysburg
This morning Mark and I headed to Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) where Sue was going to show us around. On our way, we noticed that many on the homes had clothes hanging on clotheslines. Apparently, Mondays are wash days. Continue reading
All Saints Day
Because we arrived at this campground last night in the midst of their Halloween activities we didn’t get a chance to actually get registered. So this morning before church we went to the office. It was closed and a man who was working outside said that they didn’t open till 9:00 AM. I had thought it was 9:00 so I looked at him quizzically and he said, “The time changed last night.” Ah! Being on the road I hadn’t kept up with when the time change was going to happen. We came back an hour later and completed our registration. Continue reading
From Elgin, IL
We got a really late start today, plus the fact that we needed to stop for groceries in Sturgeon Bay, so we entered Illinois in the dark. We got to the campground we were hoping to stay in and at first we saw a closed sign and were afraid we were too late. Fortunately we found out that only the Burnidge Forest Preserve was closed but the campground was still open. We were so grateful! Continue reading
Last day on the job
The last campers pulled out (supposedly) by noon today and then it was time to do closing procedures. The part Mark and I played in it was to bring all the soap and shampoo dispensers and cleaners up to the main building to empty them into bottles so they won’t freeze this winter. Then we washed the dispensers out and put all the used rags through the washer and drier. We emptied the garbages, turned off the heat and locked the doors. What a joy to be done for this season!
