The weather today was the reverse of what it was yesterday. We woke up to sunshine and then spent most of the day under cloud cover instead of spending most of the day under cloud cover and ending with sunshine. The mood matched the flatness of Nebraska. Continue reading
We got farther than anticipated today. Mark was able to drive about seven and a half hours, but with stops it was over a nine hour day. He thought about pushing even farther, but by the time we got to Omaha the sun had set so we stopped. We’re making up for lost time! Continue reading
We woke up in the RV in our driveway this morning and finished the last of what we needed to get ready to roll. We pulled out of our driveway at 11:40 this morning. Yay! Continue reading
The night before last, Mark and I made a list of everything we need to do before we can leave. Yesterday we worked on it all day and only accomplished a little less than half the list.

Some of the churches in Door County have banded together to help the foreign students that come here to work in the summer. The students don’t generally have a car and are unable to get around to places they might like to see and things they would enjoy doing.
