Saturday. 26. Darrell made pancakes for us and Eric’s family. They got their plumbing issue fixed and are able to go home after breakfast. We like our house and we are here for 2 months.

Sunday. 27. Eric’s family came for lunch. We had chicken tacos and black beans.

Monday. 28.

Tuesday. 29. Darrell’s morning labwork. Mid-morning Bible class at Capshaw church. On a 2 week break from our e-Bible class.

Wednesday. 30. 100,000 mile Truck maintenance. After maintenance, the truck broke down. Towed back to Honda. Borrowed Samuel’s car. 

Thursday. 31. Car Re-repaired and then delivered to us. Afternoon eye shot for Darrell. Darrell found out today at the eye doctor that his next shot (in 5 weeks) will be a totally different medicine. After that shot, he will have a 7 week break before his next shot. Now this 7 week break got him to start thinking about our upcoming trip to England and the possibility of staying longer.

Friday. 1. Owen and Esther come over for a couple hours after breakfast. 

Nomad Notes. Been here in Madison, Alabama for a week. It feels good to be here for 2 months. I’ve been looking and researching about our 2 ½ weeks of unbooked time. From the day we check out of this airbnb (September 19th) to the day (Oct 8th) we fly to England to get on the transatlantic cruise with our son Samuel.
