We have a house meal every Monday evening, taking turns with making the main dish and everyone else signs up for salads, bread, & dessert. It was a fabulous day last Monday and we ate out on the patio and decorated it with lights and candles as it was Will's birthday. We grilled hamburgers over an open fire. The beef here is a far cry from what we are used to in the States. But it was good anyway. Any guests we have at the centre at the time are invited and we had Deb Brubaker from Goshen join us that night. She is a music prof at Goshen College on sabbatical doing some interviewing of church leaders about their music. We are meeting a lot of mission workers, church workers, people working on papers for degrees, etc. that use the centre for lodging, meetings, or library use.Our latest outing was to the museum of natural history. We attended a special photography exhibit which was fantastic.
Cemetery resident of the week: MONK: William Henry (1823-1889). Choirmaster, organist and composer of church music, notably that for "Abide with me". Musical Editor of the first edition of Hymns Ancient and Modern.

The kids wonder when we get to see a picture of you, ED. And by the way did you start any fires with all your birthday candles? Hope you had a great day!! We ate chocolate cake and ice cream for you on Saturday! Just in case you were missing it, we are in the midst of a big snow storm with over 15 inches so far. I can't even imagine sitting in a garden!! Love you guys-hopefully we can talk soon!

Wow, the garden is beautiful! It sounds like such a neat place - wish we could come visit, too!
Interesting about the cemetery resident of the week segment. We also wish we could be over in that area for a visit.
