On the Road Without the Motor Home

Yesterday we learned that there were more problems with the motor home: parts had to be ordered, and it would take time to get it fixed. Rather than sitting in a motel room, we decided to get some clothes and necessary supplies, just take the car, and drive to Omaha. Since Kristy, Keilah, and James were to leave on their trip to China today, we wanted to be there to bid them "Bon Voyage" and so, the change in plans. Once the motor home gets its current fix, we will drive back to Wichita, and drive it back to Omaha where we plan to stay for a couple of months.

It is about 350 miles from Wichita to Omaha, and we made the trip in record time. We unloaded some things into our storage unit and then caught up with Kristy's family at a basketball game, where James plays on the team. His team was quite competitive and nearly won this game. It was great to see how much his team has improved this year. After the game we all went out for pizza, and then they went home to finish packing, while we drove to Dennis and Rachael's to stay the night. Aren't good friends wonderful? They put us up on a moment's notice, and then best of all ,we got a great chance to catch up on all their doings.

This morning Rachael fed us good coffee and waffles made from scratch, and we are set for the day. Later today we go back to Kristy's to help Tim with the three younger girls for this week while the rest are having their trip to China. Imagine being able to see the Great Wall of China!

So we are in the arms of family and good friends, and the motor home is being fixed. How much better could it be? Happy travels.
