Monday morning-back in Arkansas!




We left Georgia slightly past 8 am. Vern flew us out and Jon Abarr flew Gracie back to her Ga roost.It is uncanny how often Deb has a tailwind when we fly. At times this morning we were traveling over 200mph over the ground. Wow! The Lord even blesses Deb with tailwinds! Note the arrow on the lower right .That's the tailwind component.




Jeff Sims picked us up at home this morning and drove us to the airport. We had a send off team waiting and Steve McDonald with Julie Kilgore in his rear cockpit did a formation takeoff with us. We flew around the pattern for photos in tight formation, then Steve and Julie broke off for some acro while we headed West towards Arkansas.


We made such good time that we beat Calvin the limo driver.He's almost always been waiting on us to arrive.Today we turned the tables. We were welcomed to the Markham House Suites, room 309 and our three boxes of stored goods were delivered. We unpacked and walked next door to Sammie's Serious Sandwich Shop for a serious sandwich! Then, as I organized, Deb took a nap. The room had a very large recliner so I swapped it for a petite -sized one that is more comfy for Deb. After all, she practically lives in recliners. Might as well be comfy!

After I go to Kroger and buy grub, we'll be fully settled into our Arkansas home-away-from-home! The heavy action starts early in the morning.

Thanks to all the angels who helped us get here! We are so grateful for each of you and can't imagine being here on our own.

  1. Hi Vern & Deb,
    Glad you made it back to Arkansas safe and sound. It seems you had a wonderful break back at home--new sunroom, baby-sitting, cookouts. We are so thankful for all that.
    And now it's back down to business in Little Rock. We are also thankful for the wonderful care and medical treatment that you have there. You are still at the forefront of our prayers. We know that today is busy, busy for you, so you go do your stuff. As you do, know that we are here holding down the prayer fort.
    ♥Bruce and Daria
