Indianapolis

Indianapolis is home to Jerry's 95-year-old Grandma Rench.  It was a treat to visit with her on August 5th.  We enjoyed good meals and fellowship with her and Aunt Pat and Uncle Bob.    

Benjamin discovered how Great Grandma Rench's typewriter works and gave her great joy by typing a sweet letter for her.

Katherine introduced Great Grandma Rench to her 10-day-old great- great grandsons via the internet, born to  Jerry's niece Lauren and her husband Jeff Pyles, in Charlotte, NC.  Grandma was also amazed to experience a video chat with Jerry's dad via Skype.  She couldn't believe the new technology!  

The Indianapolis Children's Museum is the largest in the world.  Benjamin had a blast with all the hands-on activities and we all enjoyed seeing the King Tut exhibit.  

Indianapolis was the last stop for Katherine.  She flew from here to Jacksonville, FL to spend a few weeks with Penny's mom, as well as her aunt and cousins visiting from Germany, and her friends.  She'll head back for her sophomore year at Union University in Jackson, TN at the end of August.  What a blessing to be able to enjoy her fun sense of humor and sweet spirit for the entire summer.  We're so thankful for her journalism internship which allowed her to work remotely from any location throughout our travels via the internet.
