We started our day Sunday morning, driving in moderate fog.  It cleared as we were driving through Peoria on our way West and the rest of the drive went well. We drove to Burlington for the day to visit Son#2.  We had no trouble finding church even though it has been 35 years since I was last there.  For some reason I was expecting a church of mostly elderly folks, but as it turned out, I was the oldest Brother in church Sunday!  There were a few older Sisters, but all of the older couples had gone South for the winter or were visiting elsewhere.  I started feeling a little out of place!

After a blessed day in church, we spent some time at Brett's house, where Son#2 lives.  After changing clothes and having a snack, COO Aaron gave us a tour of HawkeyePedershaab.  I was impressed with the tools, machinery, processes, and of course, the finished products.  I was expecting more of an assembly line type factory, but it is really a very large custom shop.  It looks like a first class company and a good place to work.

We were invited to Brett's parents house for dinner along with other family and friends from the Burlington/Mediapolis area.  We were blessed with good food and fellowship and then had to hit the road for the trip back home.  Fortunately it is only a two hour drive.

 
   Thus saith the Lord of hosts; There shall yet old men and old women dwell in the streets of Jerusalem, and every man with his staff in his hand for very age.
