Travel Adventures.....

Today we were driving from Tennessee to Texas, and what a beautiful day! The sun was shining brightly, and the roads were dry. We were making good time on our drive also. The kids were playing nicely in their seats....What troopers!!!


Tick...tick...tick...tick...(our Chevy minivan said), and then the "Check engine soon" light started blinking. This was not a good sound at all. We were at the truck weigh station exit, so we pulled into the weigh station. The Arkansas trooper helped us to call a tow truck....

At this moment, we are resting at the local Days Inn in Hope, Arkansas, and our van is resting next door at the local Chevy dealer. We were so blessed by the tow truck driver David, and his sister Melissa who brought us here. The details are taken care of so far.

Please pray for quick fixin' for the van...(we are in Arkansas, so I have to type my best southern accent).

The following picture is for your amusement...

We will update the blog with updates as the day progresses tomorrow.....
