We drove over to Mt. Airy to see our nephew Joe and family and Henry’s sister Caroline.  Their boy Scott is 5 and Rachel is about 2.  Their huge back yard could fit our entire church property on it easily with room to spare.  While the little ones played in the sandbox with Sara, we adults sat on the swing and around a table and just talked.  Joe and Lindsey and family were going hiking at Great Falls, so they left 11:30.  The rest of us went over to Burger King for lunch—delicious. 

We visited the Veenstra family hear Frederick.  They now do the Sound of the Word literature ministry to missionaries.  We have received a monthly mailing for several years now and it is always good to get the envelope in the mail.  They are a terrific family.

We then drove over to Fairmont, West Virginia, to Pastor Lee Bowman’s church for a meeting there Sunday. The roads wound through the hills of Western Maryland where we saw some beautiful purple trees in bloom.  It was a wonderful drive up and down the mountains.  West Virginia is beautiful country—almost heaven as the old song goes.

The Bowmans took us to dinner at a Chinese Restaurant.  This place was buffet style and had at least 8 tables of food to choose from.  I always opt for sweet and sour and took a stab at the frog legs—taste like chicken, really, good, too.   After this delicious meal we drove back to the hotel in Fairmont.
