We had an amazing time in Manitoba. Short, but good. It was so great to be with our family again, to share meals and laughter and long conversations. Both boys were very blessed by things that happened while we were there. Garry and I were blessed and encouraged. God is good. Always.

We are on our way to Arizona, about 1300 miles down and 700 to go. It's been fun thus far. Really, we love driving as a family! It's incredible to drive for hours and hours on nice highways. It's fun to find a nice place to stop whenever you want to stop.

We spent the night in Colorado Springs and visited Focus on the Family this morning. We were impressed by the spirit there, apparently good camaraderie between people and helpful staff. We had ice-cream at Whit's End and thought we were inside our radio:). What a blessing!
