On the Road Again

Sunny today, but only in the mid 80's.  Made it through Wyoming....to Cheyenne.  I think this is cowboy country, but haven't seen any :)  Yesterday we made it to just inside Wyoming.  The trip up through Utah was so interesting.  We were going to take I 15 all the way north to I 80, but a great guy at a truck stop suggested we take a different route as there was a looooonnnnnggg slooow uphill grade.  The route we took was very picturesque and doable!
We had a good night and a good day of travel today.  Now what we have to look forward to is Nebraska!  No offense Cornhuskers, but it is 500+ miles of flat and yellow!  
We are in a nice park tonight and K fixed some wonderful chicken for dinner.  We helped out with some sides and it was a good meal.  It actually got so chilly that we had to go inside after dinner.  It really does feel good to be chilly for a change.  I fb chatted with Mary Raak today, and she said it was 111 at Hoover Dam today.  I think I'm glad we're NOT there!  Some crisp Autumn weather sounds very good now.
We've been following the Caring Bridge Journal of our friends, Tim and Tiffany Stob and their little family.  What a blessing adoption is!  We are so thankful that we can embrace children from many countries and call them our grandchildren.  It is a wonderful thing,.
A note of sadness.  K's friend, Rebekah, passed away today.  She was 92.  She reminded K of her mother, so it was a difficult loss.  J and K visited Rebekah and her husband, Leo, last winter in Florida.  They are so thankful now that they took the opportunity to make the trip.  Please pray for Leo.  It will be a difficult time for him.  
Good night and God Bless.

  1. Hi Mom, safe travels. We will make sure to have plenty of crisp Autumn weather here for you when you get here. It is supposed to be beautiful most of next week. If you can, send me the link of the Stob family journal. Love you guys, so glad you had so much fun!
