Greetings to One and All:
Judy and I were really glad to be able to share with those in attendance last Tuesday (7/15) at the spaghetti supper fund raiser for the missions committee of Christ United Methodist Church, Belle Plaine. There were around 40 in attendance. We shared some of our Adventures and Mis-Adventures of our NOMADS projects during the past 17 months through a computer picture show,
Some of the proceeds were donated to the NOMADS projects fund.
Judy had another spinal block put in today and medication switched again.
We are planning on being back in Belle Plaine in the morning (Thurs 7/23) to assist the CUMC of Belle Plaine lunch stand for the RAGBRI coming through there.
We still have not heard any thing from Rainbow End for this fall. So we are seeking GODS will in what we are too do this fall and winter. Please join us in prayer concerning this.
Remember that John is able to arrange for Adventureland Park Tickets at 19.50 instead of the $31 daily rate if you let him know at least 24hrs before arrival (we would love to visit with each of you while in Altoona). This week John is the Saw Mill Splash operator through Sunday evening.
MAY GODS BLESSINGS be with each of you!
The Longs:JUDY,JOHN and the Traveling Cats.
Happy 4th (2 days late) everyone!
The mid-summer holiday weekend is almost over and Judy spent Thursday with Andy partaking in the festivities in Belle Plaine , They would like to extend a big THANK YOU to the following for making their day go so smoothly: GRIEDERS SERVICE for the great parade viewing spot. Kurt and Terri for all of their hospitality and help. And Judy's sister DIANE for surprising us and spending the afternoon in the park with them. Then on Saturday Judy traveled to Independence and spent the day with her son Rich at his new Apartment. She says it was really nice and the staff there was very accommodating.
John spent the entire week-end at Adventureland from opening til park closing Thursday, Friday,Saturday operating or assisting on TORNADO (which celebrated its 30th birthday of the 4th), the UNDERGROUND, THE FALLING STAR. Then after 3 pm he was found at The North End of the SKY CHAIRS assisting riders to unload. Next week July 7- 13 he can be found back down on the RAGING RIVER (hopefully on the unloading side.)
Again we are asking for Prayers for guidance in the matters of our fall travel plans and destinations as things are not yet all confirmed. We hope to get to attend the NOMADS Reunion at Shawnee, OK. the last full week of Sept. then our FALL NOMADS assignment at Arkansas City, Ks. (we still need a leadership couple, volunteers are needed everywhere as we have a greater demand and a lot fewer volunteers, because of the Traveling expenses)
We still haven't heard from the ESCAPEES CARE CENTER at RAINBOWS END in Livingston, TX. about our volunteering there from last week of Oct through Christmas Day.
Samantha is returning to Davenport on the 15th of July and Davi and Nathan will come spend a week with us at that time.
We hope that everyones summer is moving along smoothly and enjoyably. We are especially keeping our friend Ruth in our Prayers as she continues from her recent minor surgery. And that things continue to get better for them.
Love and GOD BLESSINGS to ALL from
THE LONGS-ON THE ROAD: Judy, John and the TRAVELING CATS + 1
