Aug. 23rd---we made it home on Aug. 22nd.

Now, it is after midnight--I have the "wide awakes"; so, I am up and on the 'puter--our trip and travels have come to an end--we had a great time---loved every mile of it--even if we did not go to Alaska---that can be a trip for another time---that being through the skies by flight--we can fly and go on a cruise---maybe--someday--something to look forward to--

We had a good visit with family in Tyler, TX---just did not get to stay long enough--but did enjoy our short time there--our miles home were good---started to stop over at an RV park but could not stand it and drove all the way thru to home---750 miles straight---we were ready to get to the house--NO PLACE LIKE HOME---

Thanks to our children, our trip they gave us was a great success and we do appreciate all they did for us and it could not have been any better--we thank them so MUCH!  Love y'all MUCH!

This is Janet and Jimmy's home in Tyler, TX

We got into Alabama to find a place for the night---could not find one--said to heck with that and said we feel like we are 'bout home---let's keep on keeping on and head for the house---we did and we did--got home  'bout 10:10 p.m. and BOY did it feel good!  Karen and Jeff met us---it was so good to see them--and they brought Miss Madi home---she was so glad to see us---and we were so glad to see her--she is our schnauzer dog---she is spoiled but we love her like she loves us--

Enough of the "gab"--just thankful for ALL of our blessings---we have MANY--we traveled---had a great time--things went well--things at home went well--the Good Lord looked after us along the way---ALWAYS--looked after everyone at home---friends still remember us---LOL---we ARE blessed--GOD IS GOOD!

Had a good beginning for the trip and the end of the trip was a good one---can't beat that with a stick!!!

Night all--sleep well--know that we are home---and happy!  God Bless
