Stopped in the Warsaw/Winona Lake area to eat and find the Billy Sunday Museum.
Kid's Meal at Dairy Queen included a treat!
And this framed article on the D.Q. wall gave us a hint
of some of the history of the Winona Lake area...
Below, grandsons pose in front of life-sized Billy Sunday--
baseball player turned fiery evangelist!
The tabernacle named after him has been razed,
but there is much interesting memorabilia in this small museum
located uphill in Westminster Hall.
I remember the bicycles-built-for-two, rentable,
from when I lived there in the early 60's.
So many changes here. Gary and I will go back
to this beautiful place and take our time "touring" one day soon, God-willing.
re: Home Education....In the first place, there is a time-table, written out fairly, so that the child knows what he has to do and how long each lesson is to last. The idea of definite work to be finished in a given time is valuable to the child, not only as training him in habits of order, but in diligence; he learns that one time is not 'as good as another'; that there is no right time left for what is not done in its own time; and this knowledge alone does a great deal to secure the child's attention to his work.
This blog is a FAMILY place. Of course YOU are welcome, too! Here you will find the ordinary things happening at Grandpa & Grandma's place (along with some advice we can't help passing on). With three children and eleven grandchildren scattered far from us, this will be the place we catch up more frequently than we can in person. Thanks for your encouraging words and for dropping in to The Gates' Post!
