Happy October all:
I see where those darn cats thought they were getting a new comfortable ride. Well Judy's dream wasn't meant too be at this time. The cost was just too much for what we can handle right now, with making payments on her car also. So maybe (probably she says) summer of 2008 will see us in a Motorhome.
While staying over in Woodstock (near Atlanta) we visited the Corp of Engineers park VICTORIA LANDING. A definite 5 cats paws on the TRAVELINGS CATS rating scale.
We also visited with some former Belle Plainers JOHN AND JUDY CARTER (thank you for the lovely Sunday afternoon and evening, especially the ' POLKA FEAST' with your Sunday school class.
John also visited (via phone) with 2 of his long time good friends who live in the area.
Our plans are on Wednesday to take in a few of the tourist items: like the Capitol, Aquarium, Atlanta Speedway and maybe the Underground business district.
Then it is Orlando bound on Thursday, with an overnight at "Camp Wal-mart", while in transit. LOL. With an expected arrival at Azalea Park U.M.C. around 1 p.m.
Judy's uncle Paul is sure excited about us coming down to see them.
WE HAVEN'T HEARD MUCH FROM ANYONE LATELY SO WE DON'T HAVE ANY PARTICULAR PRAYER REQUEST AT THIS TIME EXCEPT REMEMBER OUR SERVICE PERSONNEL OVERSEAS, JUDY'S HEALTH, AND TRAVELING MERCIES FOR ALL THE NOMADS.
GODS BLESSINGS TOO ALL!!!!
High Gang:
Pebbles and I just wanted you all to know that today (Oct. 6Th) was Mom's (Judy's) birthday.
We got up early and left HINTON RURAL LIFE CENTER, after getting the 5er repaired on Friday (getting new landing legs { front jacks} and a new valve for the bathroom stool). We drove into Ga. to Woodstock, near Atlanta, where dad treated Mom to a visit at a CAMPING WORLD DEALERSHIP and store. Mom bought herself a birthday present, a 2001 Class A Motor home, so I guess Pebbles and I will have a NEW HOME,,, where we will be riding right along with the folks all the time. We think the exchange of homes will happen on Wednesday morning, before going onto Orlando, Fla We are going to visit Moms Uncle Paul and his new wife, Hilder. Dad and Mom are also going to be working at a DROP-IN NOMAD site at AZALEA PARK U.M.C. for around 10 working days.
The time spent at HINTON R.L.C. was fantastic, we had lovely weather for all of our catnaps. Dad said that the five houses that he and Mrs Traviss, added final electrical trim (outlets and switches) to, all passed final testing,,,,, HOOORAY Dad.
Us cats are looking forward to returning to the Mississippi Coast again the week after Thanksgiving. We will be at Caswell Springs UMC at Moss Point, Ms. for 3 weeks where the folks will be part of a team of Nomads working again on Katrina victims houses. This is after we spend 3 weeks in Ala. at Selma, United Methodist Children's Home. That happens the 3 weeks before Thanksgiving and after Azalea Park.
Mom was on the phone talking and I overheard her say that they have been approved for NOMADS project work in Southern Texas. the first 6 weeks of 2008, then 3 weeks off (to play Texas Tourist while traveling up to Oklahoma ). When in OK mom will get to visit with her close friend Connie at Claremore,OK. While near by at Tehlaquca (sp). Then,I think, we just might be headed for Iowa for the summer (stayed tuned , as I hear, I'll purrrr it on).
Well I think it is time for me to catch up on my sleep and eating so a big MEOWWWWWWWWW to one all. Bamm- Bamm and for Pebbles also. God Bless you all.
Greetings Ya'll :
Week #2 at HINTON RURAL LIFE CENTER here near Hayesville, N.C. is over and we are in our final week here. Fall has arrived with beautiful crisp mornings and nice COOL sleeping nights (between 52 and 65) overnights. The colors are fading and headed for their splenderful fall colors.
Judy has learned how to wire the outlets and place the trim around the fixtures, so she has joined John in getting this important job done on the 7 houses at WESLEY MEADOWS. The other members of the NOMADS TEAM has accomplished quite a bit of their assigned tasks also, THANKS TO GOD for providing pleasant working weather.
Jack and Arlene Fenn health has improved (thank you for the prayers for them) Arlene has been released by the Drs. to return to work, but Jack is still restricted as he recovers more from pneumonia, but he has joined in the devotions and some of the weekend activities.
Speaking of weekend activities Judy and I found a convenient store that had a special 2 RC's (ROYAL CROWNS COLA) and 2 MOON PIES for 2 Dollars,, since Judy has never had this favorite SOUTHERN tradition before we couldn't pass-up this bargain.LOL...WE HAVE NOW BECOME'D RC'D AND MOONPIE'D. We also visit the local used book store,ran by the friends of the library, and found more bargins.
Our stay here will be over on Friday of this week (if we get our RV part back) , the we are headed for Atlanta for a few days, Then on to Savana Ga., Where Judy hopes to FINALLY view the Atlantic Ocean beaches. We then plan on going to Fla. and visit Judy' Uncle Paul,, then find a Drop in project either at Eustiss Fla or Macon, Ga then get over to Selma, Ala. for another Nomad project .Then have a week off for Thanksgiving. Then 3 more weeks down on the Mississippi coast , this time at Moss Point.
We were able to get ALL of our 1st request for NOMADS assignments for spring 2008 so will be sharing those places and dates with you all in the next post as plans are finalized We start and Tex in Jan and finish in Oklahoma in late April or early May. Then properly on to Iowa for the summer.
Need run as it time to return to work now..
GODS BLESSING ON ONE AND ALL--- THE LONGS -ON THE ROAD JOHN AND JUDY
