| The "Marriage and the Family" (http://marriageandthefamily.com) seminar is over, my Proverbs study is finished, our Chicago delivery is behind us and the Gospel Express
(http://gospelexpressonline.org/) Board meeting Tryon, N.C. is over, it's an absolutly perfect Sunday afternoon, one nap is in the books and number of you have been hinting
that it's time to update, so here goes!
First I'm going to let you all (ya'll for you southerners) in, on the view from my windows. The Genza Bottom! ("goose bottom" for you non german speakers). God has allowed
us this 26 acre plot north of Walnut Creek to use as our home until we get to move to our final home with Him! The photo below is the valley known locally as the Genza Bottom.
In the upper right skyline you can see the Amish Flea Market and to the left above the three silos is the Sugarcreek water tower. They are about 7 miles apart. This photo was taken
before it "greened up" it's much prettier now.
Dutch Wonderland
Janice and I went to Lancaster, PA to stay with Patrick & Mary June's (http://www.xanga.com/maryjunemiller) children, Portia, Benjamin & William while they went
to South Carolina for a wedding. Time with the grandchildren is always precious but this time we had them all to ourselves! Saturdays we spent the day at Dutch Wonderland
in Lancaster. We all had a great time and made a lot of memories.

| I’m only a couple weeks behind here but I wanted to do a post on the Gospel Express Annual Meeting/Auction in Lancaster, PA. The annual meeting is always a highlight. It not only involves the Executive Board but the advisory board, chaplains, as well as team members and ministry personel.
Heifer Auction
We arrived in the area on Thursday evening in time for most of the heifer auction. The proceeds all go for the Bible study ministry. This year topped all previous heifer auctions bringing in excess of $90,000, Praise the Lord! We have seen this branch of ministry really prosper.
Annual Meeting
The meeting on Friday was filled with praise reports. It was great to hear from chaplains on the effects of prison ministry as well as the report from Melvin & Amy Kuepfer on the “Bondage To Freedom” seminars on lives that are changed as a result of granting forgiveness to those who’ve “trespassed” against us.
Auction
This is always a great time of fellowshipping. We get to touch base with a lot of people we may hardly see any other time. Of course we always have a triple reason for wanting to go to Lancaster because of our son Patrick, my brother Ervin and their families.
Following is a collage of some of the photos we took during the weekend.

| I present ....... my grandkid's grandma! Also known as "Pretty Grandma". I feature her because it's her birthday! She's celebrating the 3rd anniversary of her 49th birthday! I am so proud of her. As you can see, she looks as good or better as she did at 16. Don't you agree?
