Somewhere between Oklahoma & Ohio
Russell is made of a different fabric than I. The longest I’ve driven in one stretch is 3 hours. Russell can go all night and then some more and that’s exactly what we did. But even he needs to rest sometimes. I never know where we’ll end up. This time it was in a little bitty town that must have a claim on Route 66 although that’s not the road we pulled off on. It looked like a fun store whose parking lot became our rest stop for the next 45 minutes. Nothing was open since it was early enough that most people were still sleeping. A little rest and he’s good…

The real hitch in the trip was Seth’s new truck. The transmission went out before we were half-way and all he had left of his standard transmission was 4th gear. There were times the guys had to do this… but that was only part of…

A Summer in Ohio
Tomorrow we head out to a church youth camp taking others, as well as our family to Ohio. One thing will be different this time. Seth will be following us in his (new to him) truck and then staying on until the end of August or till sometime in September. He was offered a job there for the summer putting on metal roofs. He’s really looking forward to his time there, his bags are packed and just this weekend he bought his first ever vehicle. He’s now the proud owner of a little Mazda 4×4, for all of $2,200, purchased with 4-H money. At church this weekend, all the men gathered round…
