ESCAPED!!!

Good Afternoon from Deming New Mexico.  We escaped Sun Lakes on Monday morning.  Spent a couple of nights in Casa Grande.  Will spend a couple of nights here before going on to Pecos TX.  Ok, ok, before y'all all get your panties into a wad, we haven't had contact with any more people than we would have at home.  We stopped once for fuel at Flying J, Bill used his mask and gloves to fuel up and to pay.  Stopped at rest areas for lunch and to let the girls out.  Ate from the freezer and fridge.  When we get to the RV park for the night, we have already made our reservations and paid, so they have our instructions and site number in a mailbox outside - don't even have to see anyone! 

They have people parked farther apart with at least one space (about 20 ft or more) between coaches.  Everyone is friendly but keeps their distance.  Contrary to what our government thinks, we Americans DO have common sense and can think for ourselves.  Our great country is headed into a downward spiral, the likes of which we have never seen.  We pray for all those who are having to work through all this.  We have a new appreciation for the truckers, also all the First Responders, doctors, nurses, etc.  God Bless them all!

Today we saw a car which had rolled off a tow truck near Tucson.  Also at a rest area, the police had a semi pulled over and were inspecting their load.  Hmmmm! Wonder what was in it!  Always see interesting things on trips.

Stay safe and healthy!

The Baptism???

 Bill has a Pastor friend that he likes to fish with at Lakeview.  Last Monday they decided it was a good day to fish - Any bad day fishing is better that an good day anywhere else, right??  Well...... Doug was helping Bill get into the canoe and somehow something went wrong and Bill fell in.  Billfold, cell phone, credit cards, etc., etc.  Doug happened to have a blanket, so he gave it to Bill to dry off somewhat so he could drive home.  Immediately jumped into a hot shower. About an hour later, Doug called to make sure Bill had made it home okay.  He apologized profusely. Later that afteroon Doug called again. Same thing, asking if he was okay and asked if Cheryl was mad at him for "throwing him in". Then, Tuesday we had friends over for lunch.  While we were eating, Bill got a text from Doug........ "When I got home and told my wife what happened, she accused me of deliberately tipping you over, so I could count you as a baptism for my preacher...

 Last month, we did something we have never done, and will probably never do again - we went on a hog hunt.  There are approximately one and a half MILLION hogs in Texas, and people are encouraged to kill as many as possible.  They are a very invasive species and will ruin entire fields of crops in one night.  They destroyed several areas of lawn, including rooting up irrigation systems.  Lakeview hired some professional hog hunters and we got to go along.  I won't gross you out with the details, but the night we went with them, they got a 250 pound hog!  That was a lot of bacon!  One of the guys processed it, which included soaking it in salt water for four days.   We have painted exterior doors on one entire set of dorms, cut lots of bushes, trimmed more trees and served in the cafeteria.  We have had two groups of people.  Most have cancelled.  One group was 185 people,  youth groups from a few of the local churche...

  This was our radar at 6:38 this morning.  Palestine is left center on the screen.  Praise God it missed us.  We didn't even have any wind or rain from the hurricane.  Many of the guests who evacuated from Beaumont have returned to their homes.  Some have stayed on.  God is so good!
