Four Wheeling and Friends Come to Visit

We would have posted this sooner. However, our air card has not been able to keep a signal for more than a few minutes. We are having to drive to Wickenberg, a city about 15 miles south of us to have really good internet service.


Saturday morning found Gina and I excited and up early since Mike and Pat were taking us four wheeler riding through the desert today. The following are some pictures from our ride.

Mike & Pat Our, Wonderful Tour Guides!!

Gina thanking Pat for taking her to Box Canyon

If only you could have heard Gina making all of those ooh's and aah's as we walked the trail through Box Canyon, you would have thought she was a kid in a candy store.

One of the Many trails we rode on today


Gina and I both loved the view's we kept seeing all day


Gina didn't want the day to end as she was having way too much fun

We rode almost 40 miles today. I was tired and we both were dirty by the time we got back home. Gina wasn't tired because she managed to bring a few rocks home and was outside cleaning them up before she came inside to eat dinner. There are no words that could adequately describe our sincere thanks and appreciation for Mike and Pat taking us for this ride today. It will be a day that we will forever treasure. Thank y’all for such a fantastic day.

Thanks Mike and Pat for one of the best days of our lives!!!

Sunday morning we got up early again to attend the early service at First Southern Baptist Church of Wickenberg. This is the church Mike and Pat attend. Instead of a sermon this morning they had a quartet from Colorado singing called Legacy. The four men had amazing voices and afterward we bought one of their CDs. If you ever find yourself in Wickenberg, Arizona I highly recommend attending one of their services. The congregation there really makes you feel at home and we really enjoyed meeting everyone.

Back at home Gina and I prepared for a cookout since we had friends Allan and Jeanne Webster driving up from Glendale to spend the afternoon visiting with us.

Jeanne brought Gina a southwest gift basket full of goodies


Allan and Jeanne another wonderful fulltiming couple

We first met them at the RV-Dreams rally in Branson in June 2008. We really enjoyed hearing about the work they do for churches as they travel around the country. Thank y'all for making the drive up to visit us and for the wonderful gift basket. We had invited Mike and Pat to come down at four o'clock to enjoy dinner with all of us. Allan & Jeanne had just attended the Gypsy Journal Rally with Mike and Pat in Yuma, Arizona.

To end, Gina and I would like to Congratulate Ashley, our daughter, for her selection on being chosen as one of ten individuals that will fly to Bangkok and Ko Yao Noi, Thailand this summer for medical school.

CONGRATULATIONS!!! We are so proud of you!!!

Gina & I hope everyone has a pleasant and wonderful day, enjoying what our Father has so graciously blessed us with.
