LONG AGO IN THE LATE 1800'S
MY GREAT GRANDPARENTS
HOMESTEADED IN
CAPE COD - IN EASTHAM, MA.
Here they are, in front of their home
in Eastham MA.
Luther Wilbur Brewer and his
wife, Vida May (Ingalls).
SUCH A MARVELOUS CONNECTION
I HAVE TO MY GREAT GRANDPARENTS
Here is a look at York Beach, Maine.
It is where they moved later on.
I visited this in 1987, and it still looks
very much the same, except the
beach has had building built and more roads.
I am living in Blaine WA
I attend Lighthouse Baptist Church in Birch Bay, WA My life is here on the western coast of the United States, right close to the border of Canada.
It is a part of me that sees how blessed I am to be by the Sea even as my Grandmother and Grandfather.
THIS IS THE HOME THAT THEY BUILT
IN YORK BEACH, MAINE
In this photo the porch was not finished,
but they did it as they could, and eventually
had a lovely sitting porch.
Luther Wilbur Brewer
An old photo that does not do justice
to his fine features.
Here are Bampy and Mamie (May-mie)
playing Croquet on their property.
Luther was a Leather Tanner in his living,
and they both were active in the
little Methoditst Church there in
York Beach.
They had two daughters
Florence (Flossie)
and
Lillias
Lillias was my grandmother.

Taken at York Beach, MAINE
My Grandmother married Forrest Raymond Carpenter
Here he is at that time. 1914.
Somehow, because his father had three sons -
the oldest Bert was in business
the next one Lester was married
which left Forrest to farm with his father.
So he did not go into the W W.
Here in York Beach, MAine is the family with
Forrest, Lillias, Florence and Mamie (Vida May)
Mamie is on the siting next to Lillias
Here is Lillias May Carpenter
with her first-born
Vida May Carpenter
born April 8, 1915.
Then here is a photo of my father and mother with
me, just newly arrived.

TO
SEEING THE SUNSET
FROM
BIRCH BAY WA
My Father is rich in houses and lands,
He holdeth the wealth of the world in His hands,
Of rubies and diamonds
Of silver and gold,
His coffers are full -
He has riches untold.
I'm a child of the King, A child of the King,
With Jesus my Savior, I'm a child of the King.
My Father's own Son, the Savior of men,
Once wandered the earth as the poorest of them,
But now He is reigning forever on high,
And will give me a home in heaven by and by.
I once was an outcast, stranger on earth,
A sinner by choice
and an alien by birth...
But I've been adopted, my name's written down
An heir to a mansion,
a robe,
and a crown.
I'm a child of the King, A child of the King,
With Jesus my Savior, I'm a child of the King.
Since my hip operation of 2016 I have done well
With my walker "Ebenezer" and my walking cane "Caleb"
I am enjoying my life in Blaine.
I welcome you to JOURNEY WITH ME
