This has to be quick because I need to get to bed, but I talked with Mark this evening and he is in Sturgeon Bay. He’s hooked up to the milk house of a couple from my church there in Sturgeon Bay who invited him to stay on their property for a couple weeks. He says they have horses, goats, and chickens, and the cats are fascinated! He sent me a picture with a joyous message: Continue reading
When I called Mark this evening, he was in Forsyth, GA. I asked him to tell me stories I could pass along. He had a really funny one from today… Continue reading
I spoke with Mark this evening. Here are the highlights of his day: Continue reading
So much to do, so little time! We wanted to go to the Christmas Eve service at church last night, but we were busy doing our last minute shopping and wrapping for each other after spending a day catching up on laundry and trying to get ready for Monday. We wanted to go to the Christmas day service this morning, but we were getting dressed, having breakfast, and opening our presents before going over to my older sister’s house for Christmas dinner. We had to leave her place early to continue getting ready for our big moves tomorrow. Still, we read the Christmas story and listened to “real” Christmas carols about Christ’s birth. It was a good day.
I took a couple pictures first thing this morning, but I accidentally deleted them. They were of a hot air balloon flying among the mountains. That was the first of several interesting things that happened today. Continue reading
We had reached our campsite after dark last night, so we didn’t know what our surroundings looked like. This morning when I opened the blinds, I was happy to see that we were in a nice area. Continue reading
I can’t remember if I had mentioned that the campground we stayed at last night was Blue Earth Campground. Nice place! And the hosts were Sean and Marian. Nice people! We stopped on our way out to dump our garbage and Sean came out to wish us well. I gave him a Christian hug. I don’t think he was expecting that, but he didn’t object. Continue reading
It’s been a pretty good day in the Midwest. We woke up to sunshine. The park we had stayed in last night was kind of a city park and we could hear traffic, but it was still a pretty place. Continue reading
After four years of moving around, we have finally learned that we need to make our first day a shorter drive than any of the others. This is because there is always more to do to get going than we anticipate, and because we stop on our way to load up with paper plates, plastic ware and easy food for the trip. We have to put everything on our counters (both bathroom and kitchen) into the sinks so it won’t fall on the floor while we are on the road. Thus, the need for paper plates! Continue reading
Today all the campers were supposed to be out of here by noon. Mark and I needed to gather up any of the liquids we worked with that might freeze and put them in the heated garage. We also needed to do one last wipe-down, not a full cleaning, so that the bathrooms would be okay for the winter. Around 3:00 a couple people came in while we were working. Other than them, the campground was almost like a ghost town. Basically only the staff was here. Continue reading
