We went to an old car show in town today, and it brought back great memories.  This was the car Rod had when we met.  

This one is a  a classic.  Looks like the Chitty Chitty Bang Bang car on the Disney Show.

This one reminded me of Dad's old car we had when we were growing up.  A great blast from the past!

Our greatest joy on our Mission is serving in the Temple

Our Grandson Layne asked how many people we have baptized while on our mission.  We do Baptismal work all the time with people who Our Grandson Layne asked us how many People we have Baptised on our Mission.  We help groups every day that come to the Temple to be Baptized for their ancestors.  Yesterday we helped the youth from 3 groups from Cincinnati , Ohio.  When they were all finished, we had completed 600 Baptisms, and Conformations.  It was a special day for everyone who was there.  We do that everyday in the Temple.  After an 8 hour day it is a great feeling to have helped with this great work in the Temple.  It doesn't get better than that.  Thanks for asking a great  question Layne. 

 We love and miss our loved ones back home, but know we are doing what our Heavenly Father wants us to do, and we are loving every minute.  Only 5 more months to go!  It is going by fast and we love every minute we are here.  

Remember that we love you all and think and talk about you all everyday.  Family is a gift from Heaven, and we are blessed with the best family ever!

All our love to family and friends!  Elder & Sister Barney

A surprise sighting of a Snapping Turtle on the road to Niagara Falls on Saturday!

We saw this turtle on the road as we were driving to Niagara Falls Saturday.  Didn't expect to see one of those.  He was quite a fighter as we tried to get him off the road.  Boy, he can swing that tail around like a whip.  

The home of Josiah Stole

The home of Josiah Stole who let Joseph and Emma stay.  Joseph helped in his saw mill and Josiah became a great confidant, friend and employer to Josiah.  This is a mom and baby bench that serves as a cradle and rocker for mom and her baby.  The cradle guard can be adjusted to one side or the other depending on if you are left handed or right handed.  Great idea if you ask me.

As we were checking out some excursion sights we ran into this incredible beautiful old barn!  Wow what a beautiful work of craftsmanship!  Not far down the road we found a great takeout decorated in Coke- a cola Decor with great corn fritters served with maple syrup!  Wow, you hold try that one!!!

 

This Field caught my eye when I saw the letters in green - USA!  What a great statement to everyone who passes by!  Hope to see it later when it fills in more.  

The farm house and old making barn.  A true testament to craftsmanship!  this picture truly doesn't do it justice.  An amazing test of time.  They don't build like that anymore.

Getting a little crowded in here don't you think!

After about 4 or tries at getting her nest ready we decided to let her alone.  A week later she had her baby nest home ready for occupation.  Persistence paid off with 4 hatched eggs.  A little crowded if you ask me!

Getting a little more brave about leaving the nest. Two gone! Two more to go!

Our 4 birds have turned into 2.  I guess it is time to think about leaving the nest.  Looks like it was getting a little too crowded.  Time to fly boys!  Ready set go!

Should we go, or should we stay?    This is under the upstairs that lead to the Johnson's apartment.  Nice and protected from the wind and rain and snow.  Smart mom!

Hope to see them fly away.  How cool would that be!
