Lots of Rain

Water where normally is no water

a full creek

we are not sure how much rain we had

the rain gauge is full

a table full

Full with people

Riah

enjoying family

opa brings Elijah to bed

Home made Sushi

Phil and Angela came over 

we learned how to make a sushi roll

we got a chance to make our own

even made some with the sticky rice on the outside

taste test

they were yummy

The Shaffers are here

They came in the middle of the night

Elijah loves all the farm sights

The Vegetable Garden

the beans seem to like the new poles

some years the red cabbage does well other years they don't

Rien put the hoe to work between the rows

I worked between the plants, I was not done before the rain

Climb down at Hoggs Falls

don't know what 1935 stands for

so many pretty ferns

the rope to go down

it has a few knots in it

so even with sandals you can make it

it is so worth it

beautiful

going up again

Henk and Jacqueline at Eugenia Falls

Not as wild as in May

but a fun place to take pictures

Henk and Jacqueline are visiting us

Weird trees

and pretty flowers

we got our feet wet

on top of the falls

This girl will have lots of pictures to sort

Last pictures of the General Synod

My room mate and the neighbour who we shared our bathroom with

Friday afternoon advisory committee 

It was all about commissioned Pastors

 and how they should fit into the structure

Saturday morning the staff of Camp Geneva led us in worship

they brought everyone along

Our clicker for voting didn't always work instantly

only one time we counted votes by people standing

on the clickers it was 11-110

and by standing it was 114-113

after that the president would ask if everyone had a green light

 before ending the voting

My table number 12

Monday evening we went out for a beer after a 

long day where you could feel the heaviness

 of the issue we voted on

but everyone had been very courteous to each other

Beach Day Lake Michigan

a warm day

and a Sunday

lots of people at the beach

footsteps in the sand

big cold waves

quite a few steps

or you can go through the tunnel

back in the evening with 2 Synod Friends

Anna and Ruth

to see the sunset
