We're home!

It's been like a strange time warp where we drive and see things and experience everything then go back into the RV and it's like we never left Benicia California. It's a strange comfort to come in here after a long day and use your own shampoo grab a Q tip when u need it change your shirt on the go when u get BBQ sauce on it...no wonder people vacation in these things. Of course I didn't drive it even once! Kevin had to do it all himself. He is such a good man! Think I'll keep him. I'm being extra nice this week as July 30 th is our 29 th year anniversary. This year we plan to go to a near by Moroccan restaurant to celebrate.
I like Indiana it reminds me of Ohio and missouri. You know you are back east!
We went to get pizza and the young girls there asked us where we were from we told them California they asked in unison " why did u move here!!!!". Made us laugh.
The rv spot is lovely on the end near extra parking and it has a tree for shade and a picnic table. I'm ready to settle in for the next month. Tifka will be home on Wednesday so we plan a BBQ dinner and happy food to welcome her. Now Cassie's on her own and we plan to tempt her to visit before winter.
So now that we are somewhat settled that's the end of the blog. Real life from now on. Remember to send us PERSONAL emails we love hearing from you and your life stories
Love u all thanks for reading

Illinois

We are out of missouri and in the little bit of Illinois next to Indiana. No problems and still hot and one highlight was stoping in st Louis mo for lunch at Pappy's it was in the ghetto area and we were worried about leaving the rv in an


abandoned lot but Kevin and Tifka had worked this all out over the phone she had researched it for us. It was featured on man vs food and travel Chanel and more places I can't remember we met the owner and had fantastic BBQ dry rubb didn't need sauce but they had some that was yummy there was a long line but it move fast and we got our order 3 min after ordering and they stay open till they run out! Ha.
Now we in a lovely rv park in brownstown il and guess what! We studied our watchtower at picnic table and was so encouraged by it that we took opportunities to witness together to the receptionist at the front desk ( I went in for marshmallows ) we talked a half hour or more oh it made our faces shine w joy. All week we not been out in service and we missed it woo hoooo we got to use Jahs name and I'm leaving scriptures and my email address for her to continue the conversation now we get up and need to get to Indianapolis mañana and be set up showered and ready for their meeting by 3:30
Love all of u wonderful people thanks for reading!

We made it just outside Joplin missouri to a camp sight out in the boonies just as the sun was going down we raced to set up the rv and if it was you calling at this time sorry! We couldn't get to the phone but will call u mañana :-).
We blasted thru Oklahoma 110 degrees again land flat and pretty clouds and trees that look like broccoli only thing against it is the stupid toll road from oklahoma city to Joplin mo. They want exact change and that got kevin and I to scrounging for change like mad men and it came in strange increments 1.15 then 4.00 then .35 cents. Ughhh we finally got enough change to get thru ok with no over night stay. We are in Missouri out in the boonies in a crazy make shift campground that looks like someone's back yard but the lady was so friendly and helpful. We are at Hardee's for dinner ( Carls jr for u west coast people)
I've been listening to pandora and French music and Adele kevin is listening to watchtowers and song za. I get so board looking at the back end of our rv that I sing songs at the top of my voice stretch put make up on and any thing that makes me wiggle :-)
Ok that's it for tonight we gonna crash
Love u all

Pictures from the journey...so far..

Well we got up at 4 am and drove to the Grand Canyon and got there exactly at 5:30 am 3 minutes before the sun rose over the rim.  Awe inspiring!  Jehovah is the best artist and Creator of all things.  with the clouds and the colors of the dirt and deep canyons it was so beautiful.  One of the lovely moments of our life together.
we got back to the Rv and our park and left by 9 or so.  Arizona was beautiful and cooler in the Flagstaff area so it was tollerable. We staid the night in Grants Arizona and left early this am.  All the days are bluring together its hard to remember where we were and when.  However we were both amazed at how beautiful New Mexico is.  It is an over looked state and we both decided it is the most beautiful of deserts.  It was high enough for green to be showing and short stumpy pine trees and flatt mesas and the clouds were unbelievable so soft and fluffy looking floating high up but close enough you felt you could reach up and touch them.  We stoped for coffee and there were native americans all through out the buisness and at the gas pumps.  I think they are a beautiful race and so dignified and as we passed by each person would wish us a good morning.  so this is our favorite state as of now.
we are in Amarillo Tx where everything is Bigger than anything else!  we went to a funny place that has Texas memorablia all over the building, Steer horns everywhere and cow hide table cloths.waitresses dressed as cowgirls, fun and delicious steak...melt in your mouth like butter.
now kevin is messing in the RV to find a way to prevent the motor heat from frying his foot.  It is coming in thru a cover over the engine.  It has been 90 to 100 degrees and then with that on his foot he is roasting!
i am a comfortable pig all the time as i drive the lincoln and as long as i dont push it too hard and keep the air conditioner on low it keeps it from over heating.  i keep thinking of offering to drive the RV but then I see the near misses behind kevins driving with the other semi trucks and chicken out.
We liked the park last night but after we settled in we found out it is right next to trains.  So that kept us awake and up during the night.  now we are in a lovely park in Amarillo Tx...and guess what, after parking and paying we found out we are under the airport flight path!  large planes overhead every half an hour...I think i will take a sleeping pill.
ok thats it for tonight
thank all of you for the emails and texts and phone conversations
we love you and miss you
Kevin and Kathleen
