THE HOLY LAND

Three years ago Mark and I took a wonderful trip to Israel. It had such a profound
impact on each of us that we vowed that we would somehow return with our children.
Well, we were able to return to Israel, and Alex and Dan and Sara were able to join
us on a wonderful adventure. Maybe sometime in the future we can again return
with Sarah and Jeremy and Nate and Kellie. Until then, here are just a few of our
many pictures we took of this trip of a lifetime. Seeing Tel Aviv, Cesarea, Tiberius
and the Sea of Galilee, the site of Armageddon and the Jezreal Valley, Masada and
the Dead Sea, Qumran, site of where the Dead Sea Scrolls were found, then onto
Jerusalem and its many treasures. Bethlehem, Nazareth, Capernaum and Cana, the Jordan River and
the Mt. of Olives and Kiddron Valley, and the Wailing Wall... ... it is a life changing
experience to see these sites.

The Wild and Crazy World of All Terrain Vehicles

Recently Mark decided to make our wonderful retired life even more exciting by getting a little two seater ATV for hitting the dusty trails of southern Utah and northern Arizona. Here are a few pictures of our recent trip with our good friends Russ and Janean Sonntag and Marty and Melanie Tidwell. We did get lost a few times but luckily no accidents occurred. I have to

admit it is pretty fun to go out on the desert exploring sand dunes, slot canyons and beautiful scenery. Pack a lunch for the day, and we're set to go!
