Yesterday I left “Rudy” (Hannah Ruth) at Lake Ann Camp to be a counselor for the summer. (As you can see, I didn’t have my official photographer with me, but I did capture a likeness of Hannah when we arrived at Lake Ann).
It was bitter-sweet to drive away and home, leaving Hannah “alone” for the first time ever. She will be there until mid-August. On the drive home across our beautiful state I had time to quietly think about Hannah. She has been a delightful daughter to have in our home these swift-flying years. She has worked very hard and she has been a great help to her mother and all of us. We will especially miss her cooking, her “cab service,” and her shopping for us. I have so many very happy memories. If you think of her, pray for her and the team of young people and others who will minister there this summer. So far there are over eighty campers signed-up from Evangel.
(This was taken at Bond Falls in the UP a few years ago).
My Grandfather Pierpont grew up near Chatham, Ohio in the days when cars were a novelty of the rich. For staples and supplies that the family couldn’t grow on the farm they would take a buggy to the village store. He often told the story about what happened on one of those trips to town. It was winter. The river was frozen and the ground was covered with snow. The trip to Chatham would be an adventure that winter day. They would use the sleigh. The whole family clamored to go.
