Thursday morning was our 2 hours with Bryanna and Tracie.
Bryanna, 2, has started walking. Both girls are in all day developmentally delayed day care, 5 days/week. But Bryanna has been making good progress, and they aren’t sure yet if she is autistic.
Tracie is pretty much on track, but has asthma. We really had fun with the kids! (& the sun was out in full force!)

After our 2 hour visit, we took Mary to the laundry mat and
while doing laundry had lunch in the R.V. Then we walked around the small lake
near her house.
We left town shortly after that, since there were no R.V. parking spots available in town (much to our surprise!).

Thursday night we stayed at the Tom Sawyer RV park right
next to the mighty Mississippi River - wonderful parking spot and beautiful
weather - went for a night walk right up to the river - stars out bright!!
Several tug boats went by and we watched their lights. But the next morning we
walked out to the river edge to see tugboats pushing enormous loads – one was
pushing 35 barges upstream!
It doesn’t take long to get through a lot of States – went
from AR to TN to MS to AL to GA in one day. We also crossed from cool spring to
hot summer, hitting 90o. We are very grateful it was only one day!
In Harlem, GA, we visited a Laurel and Hardy Museum. (Hardy
was born there.)
We also saw a mini-museum of “everything made of wood” items (cars to scale; an engine – The General – to ½ scale; etc. Check it out at: www.russeth.com).

Sunday morning we attended a large Baptist church in
Columbia, SC, that was celebrating a cookie Sunday!! Roger thought he might be
called to the church!!….Their music minister had been there 30 years (and I
guess he likes cookies??) We really enjoyed the pipe organ.
In the afternoon we drove about 100 miles to Florence, where we attended a "mega" large Baptist Church – about 500 attending the evening service…all ages! A large choir, many instruments, a baptism service with 12 being baptized (1 child; 6 men; 5 women – including one who just got saved on Monday), and a great sermon! We like the Bible belt.

We’re situated now for a few days volunteering at the Logos
Hope ship’s book warehouse in Florence, SC. However, Roger spent the day
getting new rear tires installed on the RV and some welding done on a broken
wheel shroud.
