Sunday 13th

Hi, it's Phyllis,
Guess I better weigh in on the last blog. It was a fantastic trip, and if I was 20 years younger, I would seriously consider Alaska as a place to live. But, like Ila, my recliner sure is great. Now, I'm not into cooking, so I haven't got that started yet. It was so good to be home, that I didn't leave, except to get groceries, go to the post office and to church today. Exciting things happened here while I was gone. For those who don't know, I live right next to the Des Moines River and the levee is in my back yard. Right now that levee is stacked high with sandbags. My daughter and son-in-law with the help of relatives, moved most of my things to higher ground, (Brenda and Bill's garage and house), and then on the 4th of July weekend, moved everything back. I knew it was happening, but there was nothing I could do from Alaska. Thanks to everyone who was reading our blog and praying for us. I don't suppose we will ever know how many people followed us day by day and shared in our adventure. We drove about 11,000 miles and OH the sights we saw. I can hardly wait to get my pictures printed. Thanks to all of you who accompanied us on the adventure of a lifetime.
