April 28th and 29th Elk City, Ok. Strong winds which made us breathe a sigh of relief aswe pulled into the RV park. We had stayed here before and even with no frills the staff was friendly and they were transplants from TN. A little concerned about the bad weather headed toward TN so watched the weather channel alot. Ended up staying an extra day b/c of winds and possible storms, didn't want to deal with that driving into the canyon. Our big excitement was a haircut for Doug..which led us to a great Mexican restaurant for dinner.
April 27th Spent the night in Tulsa , Ok. and went out to eat with our niece Lory and her husband Rick. Tried to close the restaurant but finally left as they had to work in the morning. Sweet girl brought us a homemade potpie in the morning before we left. It was our supper tonight and was delicious.






April 25th and 26th We took the road less traveled to Bull Shoals/White River State Park in Arkansas and it was beautiful. Our site is overlooking the river and there are Eagles soaring overhead. It has turned windy with a bit of a chill but we are determined to eat outside and enjoy the view. Doug had a run in with a post as he was parking the truck...just saying glad it wasn't me driving! Same weather on Monday and we had some entertainment as we ate...an old gentleman very experienced ..flyfishing right in front of us and some large egrets flying around him.






April 23rd Did a little sightseeing around the area...visited the Park displays and information center. Then we drove all around the lake. Paige and Jordan (our neice and her son) came over in the evening and we went to a local restaurant for some great catfish. Enjoyed catching up with them and seeing how Jordon is growing up and becoming such a great young man.

April 22nd Pulled into Reelfoot Lake after a six and a half hour drive. We are still adjusting to getting back into the RV lifestyle and changing time zones doesn't help. We have a nice site at the Park campground and are taking a stroll around the lake and area. Interesting history about the earthquake that formed the lake.
April 20th RV has been cleaned, packed and we are now on the road. First stop Louisville, Ky to visit with our son. After setting up we headed into town to meet him for dinner at a great restaurant overlooking the river. One problem...we had forgot about the time change. So when he called to see where we were, I proudly said "Oh we're early and we'll be there right on time after we set up". Whoops, oh well we were only 45 minutes late.

Hello to all our friends and family. We wanted to have a blog where we could keep everyone updated on our travels and experiences on the mission field. Thanks for all the support and prayers as we continue on this adventure in our 2nd half as Kingdom Travelers.
