Biking....

Saturday was our church's annual bike hike. We normally go to Tallahassee to the St. Marks Historic Railroad Trail but this year, we decided to stay local and ride on the Blountstown Greenway. The part of the trail we would ride in Tall. is 16 miles long. That is a nice trek! The Blountstown path is only about 7 miles round-trip! :) Not quite so hard on the tush!

Tamara and I rode together the whole way....she is still a little slower and cautious than her brother and Dad! :) But since I have an old bike with no gears, I don't mind taking it easy, either! So we make a good team!! :)

Of course, we had to stop in town and take a break at the train!

Danny and Austin N. in the caboose....

Time for a drink break....

At the end of the trail, by the Apalachicola River, there is a path leading back through the woods. We had never checked it out, but were told there were ruins of an old saw mill back there. So we went and had a look....

There it is.....


My Mr. Clean and I .......

...as Mariann R. calls him since he shaved his head!! :) Dan says he's still working on the earring, I say he needs bigger arms and white eyebrows!! *HeeHee* :)

Danny and his friends, Jay and Austin, down by the water...

Troy sleeping...well, like a baby :) for Sherry....

The Apalachicola River....beautiful! Now we just need some Fall colored leaves to make it perfect! :)

Danny on top of the world...well, in this case, just the train! :)

Ruth Drawbond and I split from the group and rode a few blocks down to the Farmer's Market...
Alice E, Amelia G. and Glennys S. had a stand selling products they made.

The Smith's and Katy E. had a stand as well. They were selling baked goods and homemade jewelry.

After we all got back to the park, we had lunch! Chili soup is the tradition and it tasted wonderful on that cool, breezy autumn day!!

Dan held Troy for Sherry while she ate lunch....he is such a cute smiley baby!! :)

See!?? :) :)


It was that day we found out that Josh and Angie's two littlest ones had the Whooping Cough. Things seemed so scary since we realized that most of our church had been exposed to it and didn't realize it. Poor Josh and Angie had no idea that is what the kids had. :( The last I heard, the children seem to be doing relatively well. We were especially concerned about little Jasmine, who is only 4 months old. Forrest, the other child with w.c., is 1.
Sunday our week of revivals started, and Mr. Yutzy asked us to have special prayer that morning for Jasmine and Forrest and all of Josh's family...and then too, for our church and surrounding community to be protected from this illness. In the evening the Pastors and Elders went and had an anointing service for the Yoders.
So keep praying, if you would....this may not be over, but God has it in His control!!
