On the road . . .

We are in Richmond, Virginia tonight. What, you say?? The last time we heard from you, you were watching grandchildren ride the wind in Alturas?? Well, yes, sadly I have let many things slip through my mind without posting them. But, here we go . . .

RG flew back home a couple days ago because he and Danny are attending the Witherspoon School of Law and Public Policy sponsored by Vision Forum. He came in a couple days early, and we had a big to-do at our house on Saturday evening for his friends to get to say hi. (Pictures upcoming -- I am on my mother's computer, since mine is not co-operating on this trip!!!)

Then on Sunday, we had Brother Terry Donahue of the New Life Children's Homes come and update us on the orphanages in Burma/Myanmar. He has a visa to go over shortly and bring back a report for all those who love and support the children there. God has been merciful, both to Brother Donahue regarding his health and to the children in Burma. They lost most of their buildings but the dear ones there were saved.

We had enough food left from the get-together the night before, so we all ate together Sunday afternoon. Then Danny and I, RG, my mother, Molly and her children all left for Virginia. It was just going to be Danny and RG, but it snowballed, and we are having a good time together. Tomorrow, we plan to visit several Confederate memorials RG has always wanted to see and then head on to Fredericksburg for the rest of the week.

My mother has not been to Washington and wanted to see it before"I walk through the pearly gates". What a joy to be able to bring her with us! Of course, we won't be sprinting around the city the way the youngin's do, but we'll savor every step.

Hoping to get some pictures up when I can -- and hoping to get back here while we are still on the road. Thank you, Lord, for traveling mercies and for sweet traveling companions!
