Hi Shawn,
RH> younger. The singles are all of college age or older, here mostly
RH> because of the seminary and college but some locals with no school
RH> connection. It's a small property but has a lot of trees so a lot of
RH> hand mowing has to be done.
SH> Nice to have a young group though, it means your chruch will be there
SH> for a while yet. The one I went to has recently closed after over 100
SH> years it's sad because it has one of the most beautiful pipe organs
SH> ever in it and it still works. :)
We hope it will, it went thru a split about 5 years ago and have been rebuilding
since. The building and property were given to us about 17
years ago by a church that had to close but we had to spend several
years bringing it all up to city code before we moved in. A lot of sweat
equity went into it but well worth it. No organ of any type/size, just a
piano and a couple of guitars.
SH> Of course now the homeless have taken over the property so I'm sure
SH> they will break in and destroy the church soon.
Hopefully not.
RH> family--visited Halifax and docked in Sydney but we took the bus tour
RH> up to Badeck. Steve has said he wants to go back to Badeck, see some
RH> Canada, so we may head that way some summer.
SH> There is a lot to see around this area. Petroglyphs, caves,
SH> waterfalls, big city's, small villages. Just don't waste your time
SH> visiting The dirty Shwa as there is nothing here. ;)
So, well worth condsidering a trip up there. What's the local "gotta
have if you're in the area" food?
RH> willing to eat whole wheat pasta & brown rice than older daughter's.
RH> But, she tried--her husband is more meat and potatoes than how she
RH> was brought up.
SH> My father is like that. Likes his meat, potatoes and veg. ;)
My dad was like that, potatoes had to be mashed 99.99% of the time, rest
of the time, fries or baked was acceptable.Mom never scrubbed the
skin on baking potatoes so we couldn't eat that.
