Thoughts and Questions!

I wanted to post for myself our travels for the last month....we started out in Springfield, Oregon....drove to Grants Pass where we encountered our first rain. Spent the next night in Turlock, California then on to Hanford, California...then to Bull Head City, Arizona...on to Sun City West. Left Arizona and found our way to Gerome, New Mexico and then to Sedona, traveled North and found ourselves in the Pan Handle of Oklahoma spending the night before traveling towards Ponca City...where our motorcycle had to be repaired at Performance Plus, on to Miami, Oklahoma and into Joplin, Missouri...then to Salina, Kansas...then to North Platt, Nebraska, on to Pine Bluffs, Wyoming for a trip down memory lane...spent the night in Laramie, Wyoming and rode to Lander, Wyoming the next day, found ourselves passing through the Tetons on our way to Yellowstone where we spent two days and took a wonderful bus tour seeing lots of wildlife...out the West Gate into Montana and then into Idaho Falls, Idaho....planning on spending tonight in Nampa, Idaho and riding back into home turf tomorrow....spending two days riding home probably through Bend, Or. It has been a wonderful trip....we ran out of gas three times, always within sight of a gas station...twice we coasted to the pump itself, one time we had to push up hill about 1/2 mile. Sometimes exercise is good for you...this was not one of those times...dressed in full leathers in about 40 mph wind....it was an experience and we survived with a good story to tell. Life is really all about how we handle various circumstances that are introduced into our routines...take care my faithful readers to make sure you please God in your reactions to life's situations. Have we really been gone 28 days...I think so, but I am not ready for it to end. Seeing the grandkids will be awesome and I am anxious to see the girls face to face...cell phones are amazing for staying in touch. Thanks for praying for our safety...keep up the good work...Popa has done well. God has been faithful and Popa's health has allowed him to enjoy the "ride".
