A small detour to Rogers Arkansas to visit the Davis family. A huge storm kicked up some heavy rain and wind and we had to stop for an hour or so. We have never been in Eastern Oklahoma before. Very pretty and some steep hills, made us a little late for church. We enjoyed the service and lunch with the Davis family.
We spent the night in Osage Beach, Missouri at an R.V. park with a golf course right across the street. We played 18 holes and drove the 4 hours to Carthage, Illinois where Rick and Diane Balmer now live. They had a catfish fry and 2 couples that make the annual trek to build a house in Mexico.
I played golf the next morning at Western Illinois University with Brad Hunt, and then headed over to Roy and Carla Days for a brisket dinner and fantastic desserts. Several Carpenter's Crew members came and shares about all that's been happening in Mexico lately. Thanks all for the great time. The guys changed a flat tire on the R.V. a piece of metal cut one of our tires, so they mounted my spare. Muchas gracias.
We arrived at Kristin, Larry, and Leas by mid afternoon Wed.and have been playing with Lea ever since.
