TEN DAY TRIP.!!!!!!!
November 4, 2007 | Travels
Hello everyone who checks our site. Your mother and I had a good trip. It was good to visit with you and spend some time in your company. We spend Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights at Beth & Paul’s house. Brenda and Darrell crew came and visit with us at Beth & Paul’s house. We had a good time visiting there. We also saw a soccer game where Dillon’s team play, and taugh his team lost, he insisted that his team won, and he would not discuss it. He is a winner. We left early Monday morning (5:30 AM ), before the heavy traffic hit Alkadelphia road, or Hwy. 78 to Memphis. We did good getting out Birmingham early, but it took a while to get to Memphis and Hwy 40 west to Fort Smith Arkansas, where we took 540 north to Joplin, Missouri. Remember that all this time we were pulling the Dodge, Dynasty to Missouri. We got to Ben & Juli’s house about seven that evening, without any proplems pulling the Dodge. We took the Dodge of the dolly, and drove the Lincoln around the block going thru an unpaved road with gully whases. Next day, again we went thru the dirt road to take the dolly to the U-haul store; there the attendant came and unhitch the dolly from the ball of the car, and took it away. I bent down to take the bar and the ball of the car to put it inside the trunk, but I couldn’t find the pin nor the safety pin that holds the bar in place and prevent it from sliding out of the mount. I told Ben to look under and check for it. He did it but he saw nothing and told me about it, and then he preceded to pull the bar with the ball out, I was surprised in disbelief that the pins were missing. I really do not know when the pins came out. Thanks the Lord that we did not have an accident, because of it. We spent Tuesday, and Wednesday at Joplin, we had a good time at Bens House with them. We left Thursday morning, and got to Bill & Nancy’s house with plenty of daylight left. We had a good time there, and went to see the Astros play the Atlanta Braves. Atlanta won the Friday game and lost the Saturday game. On Saturday we went to the Chapel and Isaah was baptized into the church. It was a real spiritual service, Mother gave the opening prayer and I gave the talk on the Holy Ghost. After the service we went to The Red Lobster and ate lunch. Later on we went on to the baseball game. I take about an hour to get to the baseball park from Bill’s house. and the volume of traffic is like driving on 459 durind rush hour in the morning, or worse yet the intersection of 59 and 65 in Birmingham. During all the seating at the baseball park and driving to it, it is easy for your bodily functions to stop working the way they are suppose to work., but above all we had a good time seeing you all again. We left Katy, Texas the first Monday in October and stop in Biloxi, Mississippi, for the night and arrived home about seven P.M. THANK YOU ALL for the present for our wedding anniversay, may your children do the same to you in your OLD AGE. Ha. ha.. ha. next time send enough money for the labor too, just kidding. No really, thank you for your kindness and love. I did not wait to long to get it done. I started on Monday of this past week and finished Friday night putting the floor down, taking Tuesday off to go and work at the Temple. This Saturday I finished putting the base boards around the walls. Your mother loves it. Take care, Love Dad
