THE HEAVILIN HERALD
We have been in Redlands for a little over two weeks now. The theme
for this newsletter seems to be CHANGE. We have seen much change in
the year we have been gone. We have begun to wonder just how many
Starbucks one city can support. In one of the new shopping malls
that has appeared this year, there are three Starbucks!
While we are here, we have gone to the storage unit and brought all
of our pictures back to our RV to sort through and reminisce. We
have also sent pictures to many of you, thinking you might like to
add them to your collections. The first attached photo shows us in
1966 with my mother and our three kids at Knott's Berry Farm. The
next picture shows Glen and me in 2004. We’ve only changed a
little.

There are some things that haven’t changed. Our church still seems
like home to us. Attending Maundy Thursday and Easter Sunday at the
church was a very special treat for us.
The statue is still just as beautiful as ever. The roses are
outdoing themselves, even in March. We are enjoying visiting with
friends and catching up on the Redlands news.
We have made one change in our brand new motor home. We now have a
dual recliner love seat. Now we can sit together and even hold
hands!
We have kept all of our doctors’ appointments and we seem to be in
good shape for another year of travel. We plan to leave Redlands on
April 20 and will be visiting friends in Nevada, Oregon and
Washington. Hopefully we will be able to visit Harvest House
Publishers in Eugene, Oregon. They have published Roses In December
for many years, but I have not been able to visit their office. Then
we will head toward the midwest and finally New Jersey for another
summer.
We have enjoyed visiting Life House Theater for a presentation of
Joseph. I think Glen knows most of the script by heart. This week we
will be able to attend the opening night of Pollyanna. We are hoping
Glen will get to participate in a play on one of our visits in the
near future.
One thing that has not changed is God’s love for all of us. He is
faithful.
In His love,
