We  have many photographs of Europe and the USA including vacations, shopping trips, weddings, and our grandchildren.  We share some family history and memories.  We are Christian; we believe the Bible and our Lord Jesus Christ.  We provide online Bibles in many languages, study guides for the Bible, and an American Translation of the Bible called "The Holy New Covenant".

The most extensive section of our web home is dedicated to food.  We love to cook and to dine in and dine out.  We have recipes we have gathered from around the world and family.  We also offer many cooking tips.
