New friends and wonderful fellowship!!

The Lord has blessed us with some new friends
over the last few months. There is a tie that
binds, (besides the Lord), which we will hopefully
announce in the near future. We thank the Lord
for these new friendships!!

Saying goodbye to an old friend...

We have not been regulars, but every now and then
a "Whataburger" was desired by someone in our family.
It has come to our attention that all but one of their
restaurants in Florida is closing. This made us sad.
Not because of the lack of being able to eat there, but
because of all the folks losing their jobs. We decided to
make one last run...


Sign announcing their closure...

Some new friends and In & Out Burger

While we were camping at Kirtland Air Force Base in New Mexico,
we had the honor of meeting the Trowbridge family. They are
missionaries to the Tohono O'odham Indians in southwest Arizona.
We didn't have much opportunity to visit...a couple hours standing
in the drive of the campground...but what time we did have was
such a blessing.

It is so awesome how God brings brothers and sisters in Christ
together to encourage each other. After parting with them we were
all encouraged. We are praying for God's direction for you all.
If you read this post, please contact us!!!

While visiting with them, they told us about In and Out Burgers.
They are owned by a Christian family and you can only find them
in 3 or 4 states. When we found one, we thought we'd try it out....
It got our overwhelming approval. The restaurants were very clean.
The people were kind and professional. The food was good, too.
If you find yourself near one, give it a try...you won't be sorry!!
