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
I had been to Mt Vernon with my family for the Bicentennial in the spring of 1976. I remember stepping out of the car in the parking lot and smelling the most fragrant magnolias I have ever smelled. Going in late fall is different, but there were other differences too. They have continued renovating and researching the site, so taking Mark to see it today, we both had new things to learn.

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
We’re still a little sore from all the walking we did yesterday and we wanted to let someone else do the driving for a change. We have pre-paid several tickets for things to see and do so we did two of them today. Continue reading
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
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!

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
It was a relatively short trip today from Fort Dix, New Jersey to Dover Air Force Base in Delaware. It would have been even shorter if we hadn’t run into some problems at the toll bridge between New Jersey and Delaware. Continue reading
Oy vey! Such a day we’ve had! I had not mentioned last night that we were camping in a rest area. I had discovered when I was planning this trip, that some rest areas are set up for overnight camping and have dump stations. They are free! It was unfortunate that the camper next to us made a lot of noise around 2:00 AM before pulling out. Still, it was a worthy experiment. Continue reading
This morning at grace, Mark prayed for the people of Paris. I am so out of touch, I had to ask him what happened in Paris. In my scripture reading today I was reading James 2:11-13… Continue reading
Friday the thirteenth has been a lucky day for Mark and me ever since we eloped in June of 2008. Today was fairly lucky for me too. I found some information on my Westcott ancestors. Continue reading
