Leaving Bellingham

Well we are pretty much packed and ready to leave. We plan on going to Church in the Motor home tomorrow morning and hitting the road after services. We will check the weather in the morning and if nothing has changed we will begin our great road trip. We are heading to California to Andrea's first, even though they were just here we do like to play with the girls, and we have the Motor home half full of stuff that they couldn't take home on the plane. After that we will head for Arizona. From there we are pretty unclear, we would like to eventually make it to visit some friends in Florida. There are also people in Texas we would like to visit and we would like to spend some time at Koinia Farm in Americus GA. All of it will be up to weather and if we don't find something more compelling somewhere on the road. We haven't set a return date either, I guess when we get tired of being away we'll turn around and head back.

We are taking bicycles along and plan on getting plenty of exercise. We both could afford to lose more than a few pounds. We aren't going to allow any junk food in the motor home.

Austin, our 2 and 1/2 year old yellow lab will be going with us. I plan on working with him to try and train him to track. He is a very good dog and only has a couple of bad habits, he is nothing like Marley.

I plan to post often, probably not as often as I did from Africa last year, but we'll just have to see if I find things to write about. Feedback from my last post was underwhelming, but it is the kind of subject that you have to think about for a while. We will have cell phones and computers with us so it's not like we are very far away.

I ask for your prayers, that we will see with our eyes and hear with our ears. I am pretty sure we all miss so many valuable things in our busy lives, so we will make a real effort to be unbusy.
