A Little Talk With Jesus

Since today is Father's Day I thought I would share the special number that five fathers sang in church today. Of course, Dwight is one of them!

Wedding

Darren and Brittany Jennings

After our drive to Bowling Green, KY we went north the next day to Louisville to attend Brittany and Darren's wedding. It was nice to be able to get together with family for the big event.

Javin and Chanelle thought the celebration on the rooftop of the Louisville Glassworks was pretty cool

Dinosaurs

Last weekend we drove down to Kentucky to attend Brittany's (Dwight's niece) wedding. Jen and the grandkids accompanied us as we first went to Bowling Green where Dwight's parents live.  The pictures below show our visit to Dinosaur World just an hour north of Bowling Green. The kids loved it. For us it was a very hot day, but they did not seem to mind too much.

Digging for fossils

MMS Spiritual Life Seminar

We just completed two days (Thurs. evening to Saturday noon) of wonderful, uplifting and challenging days as we were skifully led by Tom and Jeanie Eckblad. They were formerly missionaires to Bolivia and later were in Colorado with Missionary Training International. Tom is currently on the pastoral staff of Bethlehem Baptist Church in Minneapolis. Other members of the church came to hold separate seminars for the kids. The MMS Aviation family was really blessed by the ministy of the Eckblads and the whole Bethlehem Baptist team.

Food and Fellowship go well together

 

A time of praise and worship

The whole team is recognized

Little Evan (5) was quite proud of his Converse All Star (Chuck Taylor signature) tennis shoes. When he learned that there were others in the MMS group who also owned a pair, he requested that they all wear them on Saturday together. So of course, a photo session was in order! So we have Jess Grote, Evan Gettle and Dwight Jarboe in their "Chuck Taylors"!

Part 2 of June 2nd - Amish Country

After Javin's graduation, Jen and I went on a quest to find HH Greenhouse.. This is not your ordinary greenhouse.  It is one in the heart of Amish country that is unknown to tourists and is used by the Amish.  The Ohio Amish Community is the largest in this country. We thought we remembered how to get there from our trek last year!  However, after two stops to ask for directions, many rural roads and one phone call, we finally found it.

HH Greenhouse - Just a small place with terrific prices

We noticed that there were quite a few of these little buildings in the edge of the Amish farms. We know what they are - do you???  Leave your guess in the comment section and we will let you know if you are correct.

Kindergarten Graduation

Today, grandson Javin, graduated from Warsaw Elementary Kindergarten.  The ceremony was held outdoors at the park - a beautiful setting and lots of fun. Afterwards, there were hot dogs and other yummy stuff for everyone!

The outdoor stage was loads of fun

Following graduation, Jen and I (Rena) went in search of  HH Amish greenhouse to buy some really cheap flowers.
