Salt Lake City, UT/ Elko, NV
I’m combining yesterday and today. Yesterday there wasn’t much to tell you. We pretty much just drove through the desert till we got to SLC, and then hung out in a library. As you know it’s been hot everywhere, and we have stayed mostly indoors. Our love of comfort has been keeping us in. Our…

Vernal, UT
We left Limon on Monday, drove through Denver and spent Monday night in Kremmling, CO. Today we drove to Vernal, UT. The country has been so beautiful! There are trees! Pines, Aspen, Cottenwood! And mountains! And mountains with trees! And rivers! The humidity has dropped quite a bit, and everything looks brighter and sharper. Also…

Limon, CO
We made it to Colorado! So far it looks a lot like Kansas. We went to a Methodist Church this morning. It was a different tradition than either of us were familiar with. It was also very small. We are definitely out of the bible belt. But we were able to worship, and that was…

Wakeeney, KS
The weather seems intent on keeping us warm! The temperature has been in the low hundreds most all day. We pretty much just drove again today. As you see we’re still in Kansas. I’m not sure we’re seeing anything new out here. I did take some pictures. We saw lots of silos. Farms. And fields…

Wichita, KS
Were in Kansas! It was hard to leave Joplin. We had such a good time there. But we have to go home sometime. Kansas is known for being flat, or at least I thought so. But we have been driving through rolling hills. We have certainly seen flat areas! Mostly we have seen farms. Tons…

Joplin, MO day 5
This is our second to the last day here with Andrea. 😔 Sterling got a little one-on-one time with her today. I was meeting with my sisters on zoom. Last night Andrea cooked us all dinner at her and Andrew’s place. She made Mexican Cake. It’s a casserole with refried beans, hamburger meat, and cheese.…

Joplin, MO
We are visiting our daughter, Andrea in Joplin, MO. She lives with her boyfriend, Andrew. Here’s a picture. They are very good for each other, I think. We were so happy to see them. It’s been way too long! Andrea has three daughters. Her oldest daughter, Triniti, has four daughters! The oldest, Prim, is about…

Mountain Grove, MO
Hey Yall! We’re halfway from Memphis to Joplin tonight. We pretty much just drove today. My dad was born in Missouri, and my mom was from Arkansas, so it’s kinda interesting to see the country where they spent their childhood. I did see a casino in Arkansas and thought, “Oh no, my mom would be…

Jonesboro, AR
Hello dear friends and family! We got up this morning and drove to Memphis. I like bluegrass, but Ster’s heart is held by the blues. So we had to visit both Nashville and Memphis. By rights we should have spent more time in Memphis, and seen a show, but it’s so HOT. We always think…
