Cumberland Falls

On Saturday I played for a wedding in Cumberland Falls (about 2 1/2 hours away). Mom, Jen, Lydia, James and Craig went to see the falls while I was at the wedding. Here you can see the view from where I was playing.

Deanna's Chicago Trip

Mom picked me up from the airport this morning at 11:30. I had left on Saturday October 6th to spend time with my friends at IBLP Headquarters in Chicago, IL before they move on from Headquarters, starting new chapters in each of their lives.

This was Mrs. Stearn's last week working in the kitchen. It was such a privledge to work with her and the kitchen crew again.

Here are some of the girls that live in the apartment I was staying in. We had Italian this night!
Here's Mrs. Stearn and Lydia Collin working on the eggs...or "SMEGGS" as some would say :-)

STARBUCKS!!! What a great way to fellowship! Rachel Jorgensen recently arrived at HQ to work for a few months...we were able to share a few special moments together!

Apple Day with Lydia

Lydia got out the apple corer/peeler/slicer and had a big time preparing the apples. We made homemade warm chunky applesauce for Paul, because it's his favorite.

Then we made fried apple pies because that is daddy's favorite! Grandma Marple always made these and froze them. Whenever we would visit she would bring out the 'fried pies', creating one of daddy's fondest memories. With the apples leftover after pies we made apple crisp. Then we got to sample our work.

MMMMmmmm Delicious!!!
