Super Week

Yes, Super Bowl Sunday, and super Festival of Missions at Indiana Wesleyan University among other celebrations and super size events this week. Let the photos speak for themselves.


Even the youngest got into the game. He never said who he was cheering for, however.
No matter, he lost interest quickly.


Most in our family were happy for the Packers, after all Mike is from Wisconsin.

Two belated family birthdays were thrown into the celebration.

And in the middle of all that our friend George Verwer arrived to stay with us for the week while speaking at Indiana Wesleyan University.


GV's various favorite spots at our place:


Office in the solarium
Building a fire
Praying through piles of papers, letters and lists with the cat's company. 

The semi igloo built Sunday still stands and we see deer occasionally.


 We had bitter cold temperatures, -10 F Thursday before the sun came up.


In the afternoon I drove to pick up a special package from my friends in Mexico, delivered by the team that just returned from Yucatan. 


The sweet letters and tokens of affection were very special, and I wore the T-shirt the next two days.

The kids at the Red Barn were glazing their pieces this week.


I spent one evening with the grandsons so their Mom and Dad could go to the new Indian restaurant, Sitara.  Malachi was working on a project for school.

Friday we took George to meet a friend and later be ready to catch a flight the next day.
We were very privileged to have these days together and to be able to attend all the chapel meetings and be touched by his inspiring messages. 

Then the week ended with a visit to the ER and a night at Ball Memorial Hospital for chest pains. But all is well.

    I was wondering if Indiana Wesleyan had a good music dept? my youngest is looking at colleges and music education. He is looking at Ball State but I would love for him to look at IWU.

  6. Waiting to hear who had the chest pains. Glad it was no worse than a scare.
    Quite a busy week. Would have liked to see George Verwer again.
    After all that pottery work, I hope Mike's eyes weren't "glazed" over.
