I have done a bit of research and the saint depicted in the stained glass window on your site here is St. Cecilia – The Organ is her attribute and she is the patron saint of church music.

Glad the bees found a new home. Your trip to Iowa must have been breathtaking. Especially with all the memories there. I had my bone marrow biopsey on Sept. 4. That was a breeze. BUT, that morning before we headed out to Ann Arbor, I became nauseated in the shower and got dizzy. When I got out of the shower I passed out on the floor. I certainly have a shinner of an eye now. When we finished with the biopsey, they sent us to emergency. They said with my platelets so low, that I needed CT scans of the brain every 6 hours. So we did that and the scans were normal. But we were in emergency for 20 hours….That was a long 2 days for us. I began my treatments on Friday the 7th. We just returned from treatment #6 and 18 shots so far. My treatments are for 10 days in a row. I know yours are 7 days. Just the study that I agreed to be a part of. So Sunday will be our last one for these 10 days. I sure hope I perk up next week. I really have not done much of anything, but sleep….. My stomach and legs and arm are so blotchey with the results of these shots. I did find that a cold cloth helps keep my itching down. Do you have the welts on your skin also? Will these welts go away before time for the next treatments. I know you have a biopsey coming in October. Do you think you will be able to stop treatments for awhile? I am so happy to have found someone to talk wirh who understans what I am going through. You truly are an inspiration to me.
Sincerely, Sheila

As your trip pictures show, there are still parts of the countryside that are peaceful and calm, with pockets of serenity and hope for the future. And what a blessing to be able to retreat, at least in our minds, to those pre-terrorist days.
God bless, Caroline

Thank you for taking us to your country – your country is our country full of curly headed cows. The stories and the sites were magical. Thank you for sharing.

No doubt your ancestors came from northern Germany where the predominant religion was Lutheran. I hadn’t learned until a few years ago that those from the southern Germany were mainly Catholic where the counter-reformation had taken place. That revealed to me why many German-descendants in our home town were Catholic and others were Lutheran. Now, I’m wondering whom did the Methodists attract?
