Most of last week Ruth and I were at Doubling Gap, west of Carlisle. We drove out on Tuesday and joined Peter and his family with students from West Virginia University for a pre-semester retreat. Ruth spent most of her time with the grandchildren. It was a wonderful visit! The retreat center has lots of… Continue reading August 18, 2019 — Doubling Gap

I had three major priorities last week: 1) Details of travel plans, 2) Training Conference documents, 3) Retreat preparations. The previous week I had sketched out my fall calendar. Last week I planned each day in most of September and October, booked a flight, and reserved hotels. I'm ready to resume traveling. I finished creating… Continue reading August 11, 2019 — Bethlehem Again

The traffic was awful, and the 3-hour trip took 6 hours. Chris and I had a good visit, then… Continue reading July 15, 2019 — Maryland and Delaware

Summer is here in Bethlehem, and the reward for writing this post is that I get to sit in our air conditioned living room. The past two weeks have been packed! I'd like to blame it all on Christopher, but that is not the whole truth. I was in Dallas June 24-28 for the General… Continue reading July 7, 2019 — Dallas and Connecticut
