Day 11 - Springfield, OR June 25, 2007
We decided NOT to have today be a driving day. Arielle and I are both still ill. Poor Arielle threw up off and on until about 3:30 a.m. and then has slept all day. I’ve been sleeping and talking through waves of cramps and nausea.
Mike and the boys did various odd jobs around here for Dad. It’s great to see him up and about now that he’s nearly recovered from his hip surgery. He saw the doc again today and is released for “sedentary” work - not the correct adjective for truck driver. ::snort:: The doc says up to another year for recovery. Thanks for your prayers during the past year for Dad, continue.
We’ve had various ones stopping by throughout the day. We’ll see many of them again in Spokane at the conference. A highlight was my oldest brother dropping by.
Mike took the boys to the park….so the girls could keep sleeping….maybe in peace.

Oh, De'Etta, what a relief to hear the news about your dad. This has definitely been a trial for such a faithful servant.
Sis:
We got on a wrong road and ended up near the Idaho border just across the river.....Dayton etc.... Took 12 + hours to get home. We were both tired yesterdayb and slept a lot.
Went to Portland today for the Filipino welcome. Saw a lot of folks who had visited over the years. Mardelle looks the same but just a bit older. Was fun. Just got home a bit ago.
Now vacation starts for me.

Wish you,Arielle & I could have gone to Skinner butte park to play with the rest of them. Amazes me that some of the same things you and Willie played on are still there and your kids got to play.

So glad to hear that your Dad is doing better!
Not going to try and comment on all but it was fun to read about your travels. Sorry to hear most/all of you got sick though. Prayers for good health for the rest of the trip!
