The younger ones having fun at "the swamp" before getting back on the road.
The sweet Stricklen and Whiddon girls in the Whiddons' lovely new school room
We enjoyed a concert of beautiful music by Laney (cello), Nina (violin) Brooke (violin) and Mallory (harp). What a blessing to see the girls using their God-given talents so generously! Our trip to Missouri started out with dreary weather and tail lights on the trailer that must have been malfunctioning from almost the start of the trip! The dear Whiddon family asked us to stop by their house for supper, so after a day of travel and dealing with unexpected circumstances, we rolled into their lovely property about 9:30 at night! We had suggested that we stop for supper earlier so they could put little ones to bed, but they would have none of it! The girls had spared no effort in preparing a feast for us, and we couldn't disappoint them.
What a beautiful setting and what a wonderful warm welcome as we gathered and enjoyed time with them. Then, they insisted that we stay the night, and the girls gave up their rooms for us. In the morning, once again, the delicious home-style breakfast was just perfect. We lingered as long as we dared, and, after some much-appreciated help by their "Uncle Jim" in fixing the lights, we reluctantly went on our way. Thank you so much, dear friends! We hope you will come down and let us return the hospitality soon!

It really was a wonderful time, Sarah. And you will love the goats and Great Pyranees doggies. We hope to get back up that way, too, soon.
