Well, I guess I have nearly 4,000 miles worth to catch you up on where we are! We drove out of Haines on Friday the 24th of August. The Canadian border is only about 40 miles from there so we disappeared into the Yukon/BC wilderness for a couple days to emerge into civilization on the plains of Alberta. While in the wilderness we did not eat locusts and honey but we did visit a hot spring. How interesting to be swimming in a steaming hot creek! We all enjoyed that one.
So, we caught up with Trish in Minnesota. She met us at the Mall of America where the older three children thrilled to some of the rides: swings going in circles, horses going in circles, "hot air balloons" going in circles --you get the point.
Next stop was at the farm in Wisconsin, Uncle Cliff and Aunt Cheryl's farm. We had to make it a longer stop than planned because of car trouble but what a place to be stuck. Cows and calves and even a bull live on the farm with a couple barn cats thrown in for good measure. The baby was just about as nervous of the cows as they were of her, however, the cats were another story. There are two cats that got their fair share of love from Ellie and the older three, too.
Now we are in Kansas City, Missouri at our mission HQ.
As I reflect on the trip so far I am reminded of how precious so many people are to me. These two visits were both short and the rest of the trip promises to follow in the same manner. It sure is a good thing we have eternity in heaven because I will need it to finally get enough time with each friend and family member. :-)
Smiling in the air conditioning,
Michele
