Visit To Rocky Hills Farm



Making a quick stop at John's Meherrin farm, we were pleasantly surprised to find Bonnie and Parker there to see us. Parker is quite a little man. Taking him for a ride in the farm buggy, he was far more interested in the steering wheel, gear levers, and buttons than he was in the animals - a precocious 18 month old.


We also got to meet Jordan's new horse, Flash - a beautiful horse with one blue eye. Then, John grilled a pile of T-Bone steaks - all prime Angus beef raised on the farm.

We had a good drive up from Young Harris. It was so foggy over Chunky Gal Gap, we didn't even know that we had passed through. By the time we reached Greensboro, the air had cleared, and by the time we arrived at John's place, there wasn't a cloud in the sky. Tomorrow we rendezvous with the caravan at Newport News.
Complete coverage of the caravan will be on our website - www.walterberg.homestead.com.


Postings will depend on the availability of WiFi hotspots.

Cathy's Visit

We had a delightful visit with Cathy - Ann's niece from Virginia - over the weekend. Cathy always brings with her an abundance of contagious energy. Ann's sister Martha Louise and her son Stan also came up from Marietta. With Dian and Don Woodruff, we had a good group for lunch on Saturday at the Brasstown Lodge. The picture below is of the four ladies.

Our Week in Missouri - CEF

The picture below shows the campus of CEF - the world headquarters of Child Evangelism Fellowship in Warrenton, Missouri. This is a world-wide mission organization focused on children. They have over 1200 missionaries in 156 countries. In addition to administration activities, they train missionaries here, and they develop, print, and distribute all their literature here. They also have what's called The Mail Box Club where they manage a Bible correspondence program. That's where most of us spent our week. Handling 12,000 to 15,000 pieces of mail each week is a major undertaking, and it's all done by volunteers. The weather was great for mid-March.
