94o - it was warm here! And factor in the humidity.
On Monday we met a friend of Heather’s for lunch – in Plainfield, IL.
Carolyn “adopted” Heather at birth, since they share the same birthday. While
we were in the restaurant, the skies opened up and it poured for several hours.
Then it quit, the sun came out and we didn’t get wet at all! However, we had
left some RV windows open…
We had the afternoon free to unwind and just work on some
items. Roger had to glue a dresser drawer – things get pretty shook up over
10,000 miles! Heather had bookkeeping work to do. (We got our once a month
“mail drop”, which gave us lots to sort through.)
The last 2 nights we parked at Roger’s 2nd cousin’s place in
Wheaton. They have a lovely large property, well shaded and green.
Tuesday we had lunch with friends from our “before marriage”
days – the church youth group. My, they looked older!! But we recognized
everyone. The lunch was at a lovely restaurant by a sandy beach of a small
lake.
Tuesday dinner was with Roger’s cousins, Bill and Betty. They
worked for many years at radio station ELWA in Liberia. Now they are busy in mission work near
their home. There’s still work to be done.
The weather has cooled – very pleasant – thunderstorms are the
reason. Some flooding has even been predicted. The wind whipped and rocked us,
but we didn’t get wet or blown away!
