Adventure Preparations!

We are one week out!  Bill is busy checking out all equipment in the van, positioning the TV monitor and checking out connections to the computer; trading favors with friends to keep the yard immaculate; installing a few new lightbulbs on the porches for security; and training a bus driver to replace him!!  Marlita is making calls to utilities, notifying post office and police, filling the cupboards in the van, checking out possible spots of interest, and getting all of Mom & Dad's details in order!!
Bill created this sign for our campgrounds so our various camping neighbors will know where "HOME" is!  He is so creative!  Our mission is to laugh, relax, encourage those we meet and take opportunities to see God ....and give thanks.

  1. Okay, you go girl. I hope you have a fabulous time. How long will you be gone? You are welcome to check out Prattsville, NY and see Greg and Becky and I am sure they would be happy to take you into NYC for a great adventure too. Have an awesome. I wrote a poem the other day that kind of speaks to your understanding of the new roles we will now have. I will email it to you for your leisure time reading! Love and prayers, Deb LaRoy

  3. The Michigan Mitten! What a great idea. He could probably start a business with those. H-m-m-m-m. It's nice to walk through the campground and see where people are from...good conversation starter.

  4. You already know your new role my dear! In your own words: "Laugh, relax encourage those we meet and take opportunities to see God and give thanks" "Spend EXTRA time in God's creation and listening to His voice in the stillness" "It's time to loosen my grip and watch other capable ones step up and blossom--not to be sidelined-- but to serve and support in new ways" "Teach me Lord" And HE WILL and you do have such a gift of encouragement and thankfulness and listening to God and others...so you got this! (Poem in regular email!) Love and hugs. DL
