Sunday, October 29th,
Wow, so much has happened since my last posting on the 13th, my Detroit Tigers has been defeated in the World Series by the St. Louis Cardinals. Someone must have left the Tigers bats at home, for they were not the hitting team they were against the Athletics.
Today, I enjoyed an afternoon of soccer over at the University of Portland campus. The pilots won 3-1 against a very good Pepperdine team. The first half was scoreless, even tho we had 15 shots on goal to their none.
Friday night and Saturday I enjoyed being in Battleground, Washington for the fall retreat of the Missions committee of the N.W. Yearly meeting of Friends. This will be my last meeting with that group, for from now on it will be called Global Outreach, and I chose not to put my name in for inclusion of the new team. Maybe someday, I'll feel I should join it again, but not for now. There are some really dedicated folks on the team, and the future should be bright for the missions outreach of the Friends.
Last Sunday we were to Julie & Chris's for Karls birthday party. Hard to believe he will be 10 years old Tuesday. They leave Wednesday or Thursday to fly back to Iowa to be there in time for Julie's mom's wedding to a neat guy from Indiana. Think his name is Dan, and Bonnie met him on a missions trip to Central America a couple of years ago, both lost their mates within the last 4 years, and they just sort of fell in love with one another. We're very happy for Bonnie as she is such a tremendous lady.
Around her, nothing too tremendous has been happening. Donna spent several days working on cleaning up the spare bedroom downstairs. Rearranging, and discarding things we no long used. Good Will Industries received many boxes and bags of good items for their retail store.
Think I probably told about the train ride up beyond Hood River in my last blog, am wondering if I included the picture of the whole group. Will have to check it out, wow I forgot to even mention it. Dare I try and put a picture in here of the group that went that day. We went about 18 miles up an old railroad track in some open window cars, up past many apple orchards and pear orchards to Parkdale. Had lunch there and then back to Hood River and our long trek home to Vancouver. Let me try and insert that picture here. Its liable to be at the beginning of this blog, and sometimes, I'm unable to type more after the picture appears, so if that happens, hope you have a good week. Treat the little goblins good Tuesday night. Cheers!
