March 2024
Over the years, we've always compared our family life to a wagon train heading west. Just as everyone had to do his part to get to Oregon years ago, so everyone in our family must do his/her part to make our journey through life successful. If somebody climbs in the wagon and lets the others do the work, we just don't make any progress. We all have to pull our weight and work together. Along the trail we find lots of pebbles that make for a smooth ride and some bigger rocks that jar us a little; we hit the occasional pothole that can slow us down. But if we purpose to search diligently, there are countless gold nuggets and precious gemstones along the way as well. This journal is an attempt to preserve some of those precious moments for our children, and our children's children, as together we travel this trail called life.

Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore. Psalm 16:11

8-27-14 Rinkenberger Reunion

As we drove out of the driveway, the rain started; by the time we got to the Morton Fellowship Hall for lunch, it had almost stopped. It was hot before, like as hot and humid as it’s been this summer; after the rain it was still hot but cloudy which made it more bearable than it was before. Which was good because there was a lot to do outside. First up was a Mento Coke demonstration by U. Kenny which was pretty neat. Do try this at home, but first purchase the little gadget that drops a bunch of Mentos at once, and do be sure to do it outside!
