Home again Home again, Yay!


Guess what Izzy really did on vacation... Computers, CELL PHONES, and lots of SPAM!


T'was a dark and stormy night with howl of the winds at our back and the eire glow of wet street lights as we pulled into our driveway in Kansas City after 14 hours of driving. Its 01h00 and, besides a horribly strong cross wind (30 mph mostly) and a wonderful respite at the house of our delightful friends Aaron and Melissa Pennington, we had a most uneventful trip home. We crossed the great plains of Nebraska, following the Platte River most of the way across on I-80. My farm kid heart was made glad watching the fields grow and late plantings getting in the rich black soil across the midwest.
We are now home in storm torn Missouri, with Kansas City getting several local touchdowns with relatively minor damage and not to distant city of Joplin getting mostly destroyed. Besides the grass being really long from my absence our house is unscathed by all the storms.
The Lord is so kind to us. We lost our cat "Gus", to a heartless motorist, who didn't even slow down after the fact, a few weeks a
go. Our Friends the Pennington's gave us the last
kitten of their cat's most recent litter. When we arrived home in Kansas City, to our surprise, our friend Tikva, had also gotten us a kitten, as a surprise. And ironically the kittens look very much the same in color, only one is long hair
and the other is short hair; So instead of one cat we have two.
