Tomorrow the galley gets a break because we are ordering pizza from Pizza King for dinner! There was a sketchy Pizza King in Big Rapids where us Cran-Hill Ranchers would go out when our campers had headed home. I couldn’t help but pose with it!
Yes, it is true. These older adults are playing a variation of Bocce Ball in the park! At Hope, and at home (my parents’), and at home (15 E Central Ave), and a few times at church at night when no one was there, there have been many matches of Bocce Ball with good friends. I hope to still be playing when I am older.
I also went for a run along the North Sea again. During my run I went underneath some large power lines. As I listened to the lines crackle, I noticed that they were at a different pitch than I am used to. In the US, the power alternates at a 60Hz hum. Here, it is 50Hz. I knew that this was something that Andy Huisman and Peter VanWylen would have also noticed, and appreciated.
There is a small market with open stands in the town centre of Blyth where one lady was selling buttons! It reminded me of Grandma, because she has an amazing collection of buttons that us grandkids use with card games when we come up to the farm.
Double Decker busses in the streets are a regular occurrence here. I watched this one wiz around the roundabout remembering my days driving the good ol’ First Reformed Church bus/tank. There were many great voyages on that bus, some really hot, others really cold, but regardless, great. It was an honour to drive for the amazing students in the youth group. We have shared some rich experiences together.

Hi Scott
It was good to catch up on your life through your blog. Thanks for sharing the interesting pictures and stories. This is the third attempt at posting a comment and I hope it goes through--no surprise to you knowing how tech savvy I am! I too will keep you in my prayers as you must make a difficult decision--no doubt getting tougher as the time draws closer. I will share your stories with the rest of the team. Blessings friend

Good Morning Scott,
A beautiful day here in TC, and a nice warm and sunny weekend. The cherry trees across from our house are getting ready to blossom. They are usually the first to pop. How was the Pizza??? U Bill has been busy on the farm and I have been walking the last two puppies A LOT. One more leaves today and then we will have only our own. They sure are cute.
Love U Bill and A Monica
Dear Scott,
How is everything going with you? Great we hope, things here are fine. Grandpa and i walk everyday and it has been such nice weather that it is such a pleasure to be out in nature. The cherry trees are just starting to blossom so when your folks are here this weekend they should be beautiful. We are anxious to see your mom and dad, always enjoy their company. Guess it is almost time for your ship to sail, right? Hope the seas are calm.We love you loads and think of you lots. Our love and best wishes, Grandpa & Grandma
Hey Scott!
We're really enjoying your updates. Isn't it interesting how similar things are so far away? Glad to know you're thinking of us and that things you see there remind you of home.
We miss you and love ya lots!....Mom
Dearest Scotty-pants,
Brian and I are reading your update and we are racing to see whose update gets entered first without any grammar mistakes. We miss you and are moving soon. Brian got a sweet new computer today. The weather is nice and I once saw a movie with Newcastle in it about soccer called, Goal! I hope that your upcoming voyage is fun and exciting. Continue to put yourself out there and thanks for serving in such a wonderful ministry. In love and friendship,

Hey Scott.
I think I finally figured out how to contact you!!! Just a bit behind Grandma...but not bad! What an incredible experience you're having!! We love keeping up with you and hearing your stories. Erin enjoyed the "butter" story!!
Hope all continues to go well. We're thinking of you.
I wonder what makes Aunt Mary think that she is the favorite Aunt? Maybe she was just afraid to use her real name. I've been enjoying keeping up on your journey. My guess is that you will be sailing in a couple days. Have a great sail. We have our cruise all planned for Aug 12. Love you lots, Aunt Barb
