Relief, at last!-August 4, 2011

We rode out a storm last night in that park in the middle of nowhere, Kansas. It was just horrible. We love the sound of rain on the roof of this coach, but do not care for the sound of hail. The wind was supposedly about 60 mph. The electricity was off for hours. Thank goodness for a generator. We had to open the windows to cool us down. During the night it started raining again and Jerry said he woke up to moisture hitting his face. So, he rolled over and went back to sleep. Is that a form of turning the other cheek?? We woke up this morning with electricity and a ton of mud on the car. It was cloudy so our travel today was very pleasant. We made it to Salina, Kansas. It was only 93° and much less humidity. They predicted a chance of storms. We still have sunshine right now. Very, very nice and such a relief. We are staying an extra day here so we can go to Lindsborg. It is a Swedish Village south of here that we have wanted to see for a long time. We are back on roads that we have traveled for many, many years so we are more comfortable. Derrick got the 50 amp hook-up installed at his house today so he is partially ready for his Alabama migrant farm workers to camp in his driveway. This is going to be an adventure in itself. He said it is supposed to be in the 90s in his area this weekend. We can handle that. Our pomegranate tree will be one happy camper to be able to be outside again. We will enjoy it, too.
