Our Destination

Finally, here we are at the book fair. Pulling in, we see this.

I persuaded Phil to stick his head in the giraffe.

These women came in with these HUGE dogs!

A Grandpa having fun with the kids.

Finally inside.

Being a Mennonite girl, I was interested in this cookbook.

The photos in it were gorgeous.

The kid's activity room.

Medicine for the soul.

The Roads Less Traveled

Come along with us on our drive to The Green Valley Book Fair! They are open every few months, and most books are 80% to 90% off. The ride there is just as much fun as the book fair itself. So fasten your seatbelt, as these country roads can be quite bumpy.

Oh, but now we have run out of time to go into the Book Fair! We will do that in my next post.

“One’s home is like a delicious piece of pie you order in a restaurant on a country road one cozy evening — the best piece of pie you have ever eaten in your life — and can never find again.”

Sunday Sunset

"How strange this fear of death is! We are never frightened at a sunset."

George MacDonald

Car Part Sculptures

You may remember when I posted this awhile back. It is a man and his little dog made from car parts. The dog's head is a muffler. It sits in front of a a small corner garage.

 Now they have added a couple new items! This bench is made from truck mufflers.

But I don't recognize any of the parts in the fancy bike.

“I think there is an element of magic in photography - light, chemistry, precious metals - a certain alchemy. You can wield a camera like a magic wand almost. Murmur the right words and you can conjure up proof of a dream. I believe in wonder. I look for it in my life every day; I find it in the most ordinary things.”

The Blue Light

Hi everyone; I am back! And so glad to be visiting again. After putting in a new hard drive, my computer is lightning fast! But it still kept losing it's connection every few minutes. And finally lost it completely. Because it worked fine in the computer tech's office, we know it was likely not the computer's fault, but the connection somewhere. So they sold us this:

It is a little plug-in external connector. As long as it flashes blue, it is working and connecting. So I am very happy to be blue!

Home is where the wi‑fi connects automatically.

Computer Down

Computyr is down! Hoping repair guy is coming tomorrow. It is the connection, maybe the router.

A Sunset

This sunset is not very recent. In order.

“The sun stopped in its tracks in mid sky; just sat there all day. There’s never been a day like that before or since—God took orders from a human voice! Truly, God fought for Israel.”

Joshua 10:12-14
