This entry is the first written on the road. I know Dale, Shari and Katie left on Saturday from Washington, and we left yesterday from Greeley, but this is “the official leaving.”
Wray was a total blessing. It is beautiful and charming and very friendly. It would be the ultimate great place to raise your kids.
Last night we got to the Swanson’s home in Wray. Jim and Louane Swanson, Marv and Vicky Southard, Randy and Sabrina and Glen and Tracy Kline were there. They make up the board of Simple Wisdom Ministries.
We had prayer, food and lots of stories. Then we went to Clint’s sister’s home. That is the Southard’s.
They have a really great place on the edge of Wray. It is a log cabin full of interesting memorabilia, pictures, old west stuff and antiques. We were totally blessed by their hospitality, and desire to help us all. They basically kept asking if there was anything else they could do to help us. What wonderful servants. How can you not love them?
We had breakfast which included pancakes with Vicky’s family recipe of chocolate syrup. Oh man!!! After the usual loading fire drill, we left did some business in Wray including mailing the titles to the vehicle and trailers to the border. Apparently after the border gets the paperwork we have to wait 3 days at the border for them to process it. It sounds like we will, God willing, be leaving the US on Monday at 9am when the border opens.
We went to Hillcrest Care Center in Wray on our way out of town. While Clint visited with his mom, we talked with Corky who is a resident there. She is still working for the Lord despite having just fallen and broken her wrist. She is writing an article for the Wray Gazette about Clint and his adventures. If I reach that age, I want to still be doing interesting things for the Lord. She said she would like to go with us if she was able. I believe she would be great fun to take along too.
As we pulled out Clint said its 11:20 people!
