Episcopal House of Prayer

Tuesday, 26 November 2013

We didn't plan to visit this historical building in Tampa, Florida. Saw this by chance, as we drove through that street. Unique structure made with rocks. Asked Mike to stop for me to look at the description plate on the wall and to take a shot of it as well. The plate read EPISCOPAL HOUSE OF PRAYER ERECTED 1922.

Airstream Ranch of Trailers

Wednesday, 6 November 2013

You can't miss these partially buried trailers in Dover, on the Interstate 40 between Lakeland and Tampa. Either we drove so far that we missed them or it was already too dark for a picture. I am glad today Mike remembered and stopped and I was able to take pictures from inside the car.

I thought that was such a unique and clever idea. Thanks to the internet, I was able to find some information about it - http://www.tampabay.com/news/localgovernment/airstream-ranch-along-i-4-does-not-violate-law-judges-rule/1072831

I don't know Frank and Dorothy Bates, who put them up, but I want to say that was so clever! I love it!

Right Time and Right Place

Saturday, 5 October 2013

Talking about the right time, the right place and God's leading hand. We were meant to be there.

She was standing alone at the side of the road, with a phone to her ear, and a car ditched. Mike stopped and asked if she was alright. She said she had no family in the city and she was calling her employer but they could not come to help because of the business/customers. She got her driving licence not too long ago and was on the way to work but had driven a little too fast at the curve and her car spun once and ended in the ditch. The road was obviously slippery after some rain during the night.

Grateful that the two truck came shortly to pull it out. Except for a little dent, it was a blessing that her car was okay. And most importantly she was not physically hurt. She was emotional and shakened when we spoke to her.
