I have heard snow stories from around the country this last week. Here’s mine:

Originally we had planned for today to be a six hour day of travel and to have two hours left to travel tomorrow, but my older sister, Sherill, suggested we come the extra two hours and stay at her house tonight. That sounded appealing so we took her up on it, but it did make for a very long drive.

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
Storms still obey Him!
Mark and I had just had dinner and were talking about what we were going to do before our evening rounds when there was a knock on our door. One of the new Workampers here came to warn us that a severe storm was on its way. Continue reading
Going for a Sunday drive
This morning we went to the Friends church in Sturgeon Bay that we had gone to whenever we had a chance last summer. This is the church where The Old Rugged Cross was first performed at a revival meeting. They have a monument to that effect beside the church building. Continue reading
Snow in mid-May?!
We had “snow flurries” today!
From Rowleys Bay, WI

It’s not easy sleeping in a cabin with a hard mattress and two cats who are loose around you all night. By the time morning rolled around, we were ready to get out of there. It took three trips over to where our RV was for Mark to transport the cats and our stuff back, and the second time he returned to the cabin he told me that the part for our RV had just come in. By the time I was able to go over, the guys were saying the RV would be done in an hour and a half. Mark and I decided to check out the town while we waited. There wasn’t much to the town, but we found this beautiful field: Continue reading
The Sunday after the storm
I emailed everyone I could think of this morning to forestall anyone worrying about us when they saw the news about the tornado that hit close to where we are. For those of you who didn’t get an email, you needn’t worry about Mark and me. We slept through the whole storm and it didn’t greatly affect Sun N Fun. We’ve seen lots of Spanish moss on the ground and one of the wifi towers was down this afternoon, but everyone here in the park is safe. Continue reading
