Fall Fun

Dear Friends,

God bless you, your loved ones and your ministries this week!

Last week a friend invited us to fly over our village in his single engine airplane. Seth went with me, but Roger was not so brave. We flew over Ripley's Corn Maze which was super fun to see. There is a dragon and a spider web carved in the corn. Seth got a photo on his phone to show to his friends at school the next day. We saw our house, the Congregational Church and the grain elevator at the end of our street. We also saw Seth's school, Thornapple Lake, Peace Church, Kalamo, Moo-ville and Nashville.

I was impressed with how small Charlotte and Lansing are from that vantage point. I was also amazed at how many trees are still left unharvested. The rivers and natural lakes stand out in sharp contrast to the rectangular geometry of the corn and bean fields.

Later in the week, we went to Art Prize in Grand Rapids. Seth was happy to get a day off from school and it was amazing to see everyone's differing reactions to the art. My favorites were the bronze statue man, the tee shirt structure, the door with the suitcase, the scar project and the pillars of cereal boxes surrounded by the carpet of bottle caps. Seth and I both liked the video about the concentration camps for the Japanese.

On Sat. we watched our grandson's football game and he made the only touchdown in the whole game! He was grinning from ear to ear along with the whole family!

Love, Sue
