Today the fourth of June we went back to the visitor center at Kirtland and went through an art gallery of penciled drawings of the Savior.  Then off to the Isaac Morley farm.  Next was the John Johnson farm where many events took place.  The picture above is the Johnson home.  It was built about 1835.   It is very large and nice on the inside.  President Hinckley asked that the home be restore to its original and 85% of the home is original.   Everywhere you go here there is history that you have not heard of and the Spirit is strong. 


Yes, were alive and doing well.  Thanks for the concern.  Love Grandma and Grampa


We went to visit the Amish.  First we had a dinner cooked by them which was really good.  I got some fudge and Mom got a cinnamon roll.   This picture is taken at the Walmart parking lot.  There is another rail from the building down as far as the one with the horses.  They even have some covered places for them too.  Its neat to see them on the streets.  We drove out through their farming country.  I saw a older man setting in a lawn chair toward the back of his home so I drove up their drive way and got out and talked with him.  His daughter had a plant nursery next door.  we talked about farming in the old days and how it has changed.  Their homes lack electricity  so we talked about life without such things.  I still remember not having it at home so we talked about the different lamps we used to light our homes.  They were really very nice people. 

Tonight were staying in Austinburg, Ohio and we will be at Niagra Falls next.  Its so green out here and every house has huge yards and there so well kept up.
