A Taste of Home

One of the advantages of cycling on this tour through southwestern Ontario is having the opportunity to go home for a short stint. I did that this morning and was able to attend my home church, Maranatha CRC, in Cambridge. (I also had to go home to deal with bills that had not arrived in the mail before I left.) How wonderful to be a part of my home community again and to be able to share some of what I've been experiencing with great listening ears!!!

This afternoon a part of home came to the Celebration Rally in Niagara Falls, as well! I was happy to be able to meet up with my friend, Joyce (from Suddaby days) and her husband, Ray, from Kitchener, Tony & Roely from Blyth area, George & Cathy from Newmarket, and several members of my Maranatha family: Pat & Caroline, Cathy, Claire & Clarence, Mary & Thomas, Joan & Harry, Len & Rynie. The sense of support I feel is overwhelming! I am very blessed!

My sister, Nancy, & the kids dropped Pete and me off at the school in St. Catharines where we're staying this evening. Rather than set up the tent for one night, we've opted to join the many others who are camping indoors in various rooms. I've chosen the library since it feels the coolest. It just so happens to be next door to the computer lab, which is very convenient for working on the internet.

I shall sign off here. We have an early start planned for the morning. Our border crossing on the Rainbow Bridge in Niagara Falls is scheduled for 9:30 a.m. Tomorrow night we stay in an RV camp near Byron, NY. I'll try to post an update, if I can access a computer again.
