We spent the 4th of July in Chicago with my best friend from high school, Tom. It was a wonderful stop before we make our way to the East Coast. I'm realizing the stops with family and friends are our most cherished times.  We are so blessed to be on this trip.  Thank you Gloria Dei.   Will write more once we stop at our campground in Cleveland.   All is well.  Thanks for the prayers. They have held us up.

I attended a wonderful Taize worship on Washington Island during my class.   I have some ideas to share when I get back.
