In June we had a very good trip to Ohio to connect with folks from The Chapel as well as friends and family. After reading many books about Malabar Farms, it was a highlight to be there and see the farm. It is in central Ohio, a beautiful area!
Steve enjoyed connecting with an organic farmer on the way to Colorado as well as an amaranth grower. Amaranth is an ancient grain that is highly nutritious and it has been an interest to Steve since 2004 when our daughter's friend's grandpa introduced us to it. Steve was recently instrumental in getting it planted in Turkana, a drought-stricken area in Kenya. We just got a report from them that it is growing well and has been a successful project.
I attended a Women of the Harvest retreat which was an excellent time of being refreshed and taught from the Word, getting to know the people in my small group and being pampered. They did a good job of that and we could sign up for a pedicure, massage, haircut, color analysis, and they even gave us a choice of free clothes and books.
Here is the pedicure room. It felt more like foot-washing as the volunteers prayed for each person at the end. We were very blessed.
These are some pictures of our travels in Colorado. We went to Estes Park, a family reunion, the Royal Gorge and around Pueblo. God's creation is amazing!
Joanna had the idea of making giant Dutch Blitz cards to play at reunion. It took us more than a day to make them, but it was worth it and was a lot of fun! We played in a gym. We had teams that took turn running to the middle or turning the cards over.
