EDT... Estimated Departure Time!!!

Calypso, David, and our wonderful grandson.

We are pleased to announce that Ruffingitx3 has an EDT... Thursday, August 29.  We plan to visit David's brother and mother first... in Tulsa and Rolla, respectively, during the Labor Day weekend.  From there, we'll head due west, looking for cool weather and clear lakes.  Our boat Calypso and Rox are at the ready!

As long as Roxanne holds up, we may go as far as Oregon and Washington.  Three weeks ago, it was hard to imagine that this day would come.  Wow!  Life is good!  :)

Thank YOU so much, PAPA!!!  Once again, one of my favorite Scripture verses rings true:

"This resurrection life you received from God is not a timid, grave-tending life.  It's adventurously expectant, greeting God with a childlike "What's next Papa?"  God's Spirit touches our spirits and confirms who we really are.  We know who He is, and we know who we are:  Father and children.  And we know we are going to get what's coming to us--an unbelievable inheritance!  We go through exactly what Christ goes through.  If we go through the hard times with Him, then we're certainly going to go through the good times with Him!" ~Romans 8:15-17 (The Message)
