Pieter wrote: Our Weapon—A Powerful Gesture together with Prayer

 At times we find messages that really stand out! This I found on August 17...

In Dutch, Pieter wrote: Ons Wapen = Our Weapon

It was glued to a kind of diary that Pieter kept.

A cross with the four letter word: INRI = Latin for King of the Jews

Iesus Nazarenus, Rex Iudaeorum

Latin uses the I instead of the English J

It actually is a Cursillo Cross and on its back it reads: CHRIST IS COUNTING ON YOU

Also a Crucifix Rosary Ring from Italy hails from Pieter's Cursillo...

On Thursday, May 4 of 1995, my Pieter left by 2:00 PM for Savannah. His friend Hank Basedow let him know last minute that he was not going. Pieter had agreed to join because of him, for being one more time together with a special friend...

But he left now with Church friend Pat Roche.

Pieter came home from Savannah on Sunday, May 7 by 8:00 PM.

A nice letter from Walt Kessel, the organizer, who passed away on January 23, 2021

Hank passed away in February of 1997 and Pat on August 8, 2005.

Fond memories of brothers in Christ.

Our nation has very strongly used its weapon of the cross and prayer over the past months.

God has listened to His People and things seem to be changing!

Happy Thanksgiving to all in the USA

Pieter and I Consulted for Gourmet's Delight in Eden Wisconsin

One very pleasant consulting job for both of us stands out from April 4, 1993

A special Monday as we got up early for driving to Atlanta at 6:00 AM where Pieter had his I.N.S. interview for becoming a US Citizen on April 23!

We flew via Detroit to Milwaukee, Wisconsin on Northwest Airlines at 4:00 PM.

Upon arrival we had to drive one hour to Fond du Lac where we stayed at the Holiday Inn, now Holiday Inn Express.

Gourmet's Delight Mushrooms, Eden, Wisconsin

Tuesday morning we had to drive about 20 minutes to the mushroom farm of the Floyd brothers John and Richard.

Pleasant work for both of us and we had lunch at John's place, nice and homely cozy.

Wednesday we checked out from our hotel and went to the farm. Another pleasant day with lunch at Richard's home.

 For a chance, we were amongst Catholics.

By 5:45 PM we flew back via Detroit to Atlanta on Northwest Airlines and for this trip we both got an upgrade into first class.

Home on Thursday by 2:30 AM.

From Barb I received a written note:

Yes, the address is Mushroom Rd in Eden, Wisconsin.

Very unique!

It sure was a nice upgrade from tourist class to first class and our first experience together.

Our Sugar Maple

Our Acer Saccharum Marshall or Sugar Maple was looking rather nice and full on November 5.

Rain and wind did not add to it since...
