Last night we went to church in Lamar With Ronnie and Lyn,  The pastor said" The Jesus you know Will determine what kind of Christian life you live."  I like that.

 It was like stepping back into time for me to see the home where I was raised.
We went by the ranch where I was raised as a kid South of Brandon.  Terry and Janet own the ranch now.  The tornado of 2012  Destroyed part of the house , so they have remodeled and built on.  They graciously Showed us their home.

What a fun time we are having making memories with both sides of our families. Last night we spent in Agusta, Kansas with my cousins Donna and Larry, Francie and Steve,  DONNA and Francie are Zortman girls, they are first cousins to my mother.  I cannot believe how much Donna looks like my mother.

We have told Melynda goodbye and are on our way to Wichita.  She has matured so much in the past year, that it was not near as hard to tell her goodbye this year.

Monday night

We are at Barclay College in Haviland Kansas. It is a Friends college where Melynda our granddaughter, is in her second year.  It is fun to see how she is growing up and maturing.  We took her and Bethany to a Mexican place for dinner, I think they really enjoyed it.  At 9:30 PM we are going to watch her play flag football, that is past my bedtime so I hope I can stay a wake. ;)

Evanston Wyoming

We left today for Colorado Kansas and Missouri. We got as far as Evenston, WY and are calling it a day.

Preparing to Leave

My how time flies! We can't believe it has been one year since our last post.

It has been an eventful year and we are excited that after Don's two major surgeries this summer we are able to take a trip.

We are doing a similar loop as to what we did last year; Taking the car and not the bike.  Don prefers the car on these kind of trips where we are doing the  majority of freeway driving.  So, I'm sad to report there will not be a bike trip this year.  I am excited that we are able to travel so soon after Don's surgeries, though!

Tomorrow, we will head out after church and get as far as we can into Wyoming.  

Stay tuned!
