"All aboard!" Our fiddle player, Bob Baumann and his wife,Sue, drove in from Branson about 11am to meet us at place called Psalms Camp in south Arkansas. We loaded the last minute items including instruments, suitcases, and snacks. Bus was washed and tires shined, and then drove through a muddy drive, before pulling out about 1:30pm. Circle of prayer always starts our weRcalled family journeys. ( Dj moves his left hand a lot when he prays.) I was next to him and he just kept shaking away. Lol.

DAY ONE: Florida bound!
Traveling now. We will meet the Talleys later today for some fun and laughter. We are finally on the road. It will take us about 6 hours or more to meet the Talleys. Ugh, I don't like long trips :/. Have you ever took along trip before? Well it takes 2 or 3 days till we actually get to Lake Placid, Florida. And then after that we have to back up to Jacksonville, Florida. Have you ever been to Florida? This is my first trip and I'm very excited to see the beaches.
Tallulah LA: Love's truck stop for tire repair, nail in tire. Repairman Ronnie is a Christian. He asked prayer for his safety and God's blessings. He was a true blessing to us! The Talleys met us in route here in their bus. Everyone jumped off the bus to greet each other, all of us kids jumped on the Crusaders' bus for lots of laughs and guitar picking. The buses are fueled and we are on our way
7:19pm crossing the swift Mississippi River...
Passing thru Vicksburg, and over the Mississippi River, we can't help but think of grand memories with lifelong family friends from Natchez, CL & Kay Wheeler, Shy, Locke, and their families. We look forward to laughing with them and creating new memories in just a couple weeks.
10:59pm Ranches Los Fuentes on Hwy 26 east: (giggle) Our Bus "wagon train" just circled two cars in parking lot chatting after hours. LOL! (Actually we had just missed our exit, low clearance so we were turning around) Wonder what the people in those cars thought when two big tour buses pull out of no where, circle around them, then leave?!
Lucedale, Mississippi, Walmart stop to stretch and grab some last minute things. Will wait here for repairs to be done to the Crusaders' bus first thing in the morning. Notified Bruce Norwood to also meet us here. Climbed in our bus bunk beds to crash for the night.
