A Trip to Menno

I was up before seven this morning, putting orange rolls in the oven and sausage patties on the grill. We were getting ready to leave a bit after eight in order to drive the 90 miles from Ponderosa Falls RV Park to Menno Mennonite Church. The church is out in the country about halfway between Ritzville and Moses Lake. It's actually about three miles from Tree Heart Ranch, Ltd., our wheat ranch and home for over thirty-five years of our married life.

We lease the farmland and the house out, but still have hookups for the motorhome there. We will most likely move there for a few weeks after we finish with all of our Spokane appointments. It looks like harvest is pretty much finished in the dryland areas near the church.

How wonderful it was to walk into the church this morning. It's when we knew we really have made it home! There are no Sunday School classes during the summer time, so there was plenty of time after worship to visit and catch up with local friends.

Because Forry loves to talk, we are always one of the last ones to leave. When we got to Toad out in the parking lot, we discovered that some kind soul had left a large sack of fresh corn for us. I fixed four ears of it for dinner tonight and it was delicious. Thank you, whoever you are!
