Happy Anniversary Mom & Dad!

If you check out The Happy Pastor blog, you will see that he posted a picture to go with a Happy Anniversary wish. Since it takes two people for there to be an anniversary, I thought it would only be fair to post the rest of that picture, so here it is!
Here are the two men who performed the ceremony that day - my two grandfathers, Dad's Dad on the left and Rev. Marlin Crock, my adopted Grandfather, on the right.

Florida - Precious Memories

Here are some pictures from our recent trip to Florida. This is only a few of the over 300 that I got prints made of and a small fraction of the over 1500 that Dad & I took.
This is shortly after we left Harrisburg.
Florida, here we come! Coming into Tampa
The five that stayed in the "Men's Quarters" at our church camp - L - R: Stan Gemberling, Bro. Krauss, Me, Steve Aurand, Joe "Rebel" Holingsworth
Some of the people standing outside talking after the Sunday morning service
The beautiful dining hall
Even in Florida, Dad "has" to clean the tabernacle.

The Bible says that we should become like children, so . . .
Mom, Dad & I at the sign for John's Pass, a neat little place with a bunch of little shops.
Here is where we ate supper on Monday evening - Delicious
Madeira Beach
Here is the air boat that we rode out to the Gulf Of Mexico. In this pic, you can also see the man that was running it.

One of the many beautiful houses that we saw
The Gulf Of Mexico!
On Wednesday, we went to the Florida Aquarium. It was very nice!
Comin' right at ya!
Here a fish, there a fish, everywhere a fish!
The SS American Victory - a World War II Merchant Marine ship that Dad & I toured
Me at the wheel
The kitchen - or galley or whatever you call it - of the ship.
Good-bye Florida!
This is what our car looked like when we got back to Harrisburg! It got into the 80s the day we left Florida - it was 22 when we got to Harrisburg!
Thanks For Dropping In!
