... Yesterday was full of souvenir shopping for the boys and family. It was a great day filled with sharing of memories and God's blessings. Thankful we had someone to help us "haggle" in the market place. Jeff's blonde hair and blue eyes somehow makes the price of an item magically go up a few dollars. One thing I experienced yesterday that I will miss terribly... food court food. Yeah... who would miss that right? I had THE BEST ...

The venue itself was pretty nice, and we had a really fun crew. They were so efficient and good that we had our fastest load out to date.

Decatur, AL claims to be a "Grand City on a Charming Scale"... now, I don't really buy that, but I will say, I found it's alternative title "Home of Meow Mix" to be the most exciting aspect of the city. We passed the giant Meow Mix factory on the way out of town. Sadly, it left it's jingle of singing cats in my head for about 5 min.

... mumbling in the back..Are we lost. I was starting to panic..but I just did what comes naturally to a Chicagoian..a U TURN..wooohooo.. I just ignored Garmin..even with his english accent.. Ok..so we are back at the hotel.. The girls threw a surprise bday party in our room..Lyndsy, Megan, and Wimpee were surprised. We had cupcakes... Then we headed off to the fields..They are nice.. Did I mention we are playing in ...

... together to get the wrecked truck up and out of the way. I crawled along at about 3 miles per hour for 50 minutes. Not helpful.

Traveled about 505 miles today. I noticed that gas prices in the Decatur area are about the lowest of anywhere on the trip. Not a reason to stay in town, though!

Friday, July 31... Well, I've looked at some of the bills that have come in already. I averaged slightly less than ...

... DOWN THE ROAD, IT WILL BE REALLY NEAT. I GUESS WHAT I LIKED MOST ABOUT THE FESTIVAL WAS THE FOOD AND THE CLOWN. THE FOOD AT A FESTIVAL IS ALWAYS FUN TO SEE HOW IT IS GOING TO TASTE. I, ALSO, NEEDED THE LAUGHTER MORE THAN ANYTHING, EXCEPT THE NEED TO BE WITH MY MEME (MY LITTLE MALE SUGAR GLIDER)! THE STAY AT THE JAMEISON INN WAS PLEASANT AND WENT GREAT! MAYBE WE WILL GO AGAIN IN THE FUTURE. THANK-YOU. LORD FOR GIVING TO US LAUGHTER!

... PARK; I
GRABBED THE MUG BEFORE WE LEFT. I HAVE WAITED TWO YEARS
FOR THIS VERY MOMENT. WATCHING HER DRINK ROOT BEER OUT OF
HER LITTLE MUG. OF COURSE, IT BROUGHT BACK MEMORIES OF
WATCHING AND HELPING HER DAD DRINK ROOT BEER. BACK THEN
YOU COULD BUY LITTLE CHILDREN ROOT BEER IN ONE OF THESE
LITTLE FROSTED MUGS. WHAT A WONDERFUL TIME. WE HAD THIS
DAY. THANK YOU, FATHER!!

... PICKED UP
SOME LUNCH. WE ATE IT UP THERE ON THE
MOUNTAIN. THERE ARE CABINS, CAMPING
SPOTS, ALSO. IT WOULD BE FUN STAYING IN
ONE OF THE CABINS LATE IN THE FALL.
THEY HAVE FIREPLACES, AS FAR AS I
KNOW. WE WILL CHECK IT OUT. THANK
YOU FATHER FOR THE BEAUTIFUL WORLD
YOU HAVE CREATED FOR US...AND FOR
THE BEAUTIFUL GRAND-DAUGHTER WE GET
TO ENJOY!.

... ATE IN HARTSELLE AT
RYANS. THE FOOD WAS EXCELLENT! THE TOWN OF HEARTSELLE IS OLD TOWNISH AND QUAINT. ALL IN ALL THIS MADE FOR A GREAT TRIP! WE LEFT OUT EARLY IN ORDER TO GET THERE IN TIME FOR THE GRAND ENTRANCE. I REALLY CAN NOT ADEQUATELY DESCRIBE IN WORDS WHAT I WAS FEELING THROUGH THIS WHOLE EXPERIENCE. THE PEOPLE WERE LOVING;SO FRIENDLY. YOU KNOW...I FOUND MYSELF AT TIMES...WELL I JUST DO NOT KNOW HOW TO TELL THIS ...

TODAY WE TOOK LITTLE BIT OF A WHOLE LOT TO GET PIZZA AT CHUCKEY CHEESE. THIS WAS OUR FIRST TIME TO TAKE A GRAND-CHILD TO EAT PIZZA HERE. NO WE DID NOT RIDE THE RIDES BUT WE SURE HAD A LOT OF FUN WATCHING HER RIDE AND WATCH THE OTHER CHILDREN. I AM NOT SURE HOW SHE LIKED CHUCKEY CHEESE AND HIS GANG SINGING BUT THE REST INSIDE THIS PIZZA PLACE SHE DID LIKE. I AM SURE WE WILL BE GOING BACK1
