Sat. 10/24/26, Packed up everything, Bill hooked the trailer up to the motorhome with my guidance, he loaded the bike on the trailer after Ziggy brought it up, Ziggy prayed for us and then went to the morning service, we took off after we were all ready, had a beautiful ride on a beautiful day. We stopped at Lamberts again in Sikeston, Missouri. Then we drove til we got to Effingham, Illinois, then stopped at a Cracker Barrel for the night. I was around 9..

There was a big ole wasp on the top of the mirror on the right.  I couldn’t wait to get going so he would blow off.  I sure wasn’t taking him home with us.

We both got chicken strips dinners 

I got 6 huge chicken strips, cottage cheese and chunky applesauce, Bill caught us each 2 rolls which are huge, then they bring around pass around bowls of fried okra, fried potatoes with onions, macaroni and tomatoes, and black eyed peas.  We didn’t eat any black eyed peas.  Bill didn’t have any fried okra either,  Everything was so good.  The waitress brought us 2 extra rolls to take home, plus we had 2 left we didn’t eat.  We took 4 of our chicken strips home and I took some fried potatoes.  We ate left overs for 2 days.

Bill did a great job driving all day and into the evening.  The country side was beautiful.  We only stopped for gas/potty breaks.  We ate lunch in the camper while we were going.  I cut up chicken strips for Bill and he ate a roll.  I had the same thing only had potatoes with mine.  We snacked during our drive too and listened to Christian music I had on my playlist on my phone.  We enjoyed our stop at Lambert’s for dinner again.  Such a fun place with great food and friendly waitresses and waiters and roll throwers.  We called Bev and Jim while we were waiting 30 minutes to get seated.  It ended up being 20 minutes.  They were 45 minutes behind us and we were just getting seated, so couldn’t wait for them.  We drove a couple of more hours and stopped to stay in a Cracker Barrel in Effingham, Illinois.  We didn’t even play a game after driving all day.  We relaxed, then went to bed early.  Thankful to the Lord for keeping everyone safe today.  We talked to Cindy and they were staying in a Cracker Barrel in Terri Haute a ways ahead of us.  Bev and Jim were staying in a town about the same distance behind us.  Russ and Marsha were staying in Indiana near Indianapolis at a hotel.  Travel will be resumed for all of us tomorrow.  Gayla texted me during the day to see where we were and how we were doing.  I kept her posted all day and let her know where we stopped for the night.
