Back in Town

We had a great trip to PA and are now back in town, arriving last night in time to unload our gear, make some popcorn, sit on our back deck, and watch the fireworks over the fairgrounds.

Traffic back and forth was light and we averaged 40 miles a gallon in our Honda Civic. That's nice when you're traveling 720 miles...Gas was $2.59 on the highway for regular. Just a tip for those heading east from Ohio on US 80...don't hold your breath waiting on a Cracker Barrel Restaurant. But if you like Perkins, Taco Bell, Arby's, and/or McDonald's you won't starve because they have those at EVERY exit...In Ohio you have a Cracker Barrel every 30 miles...

Saturday we hung out at a backyard bbq with family in Mifflinburg and Sunday we visited with a supporting church in Lewisburg getting better acquainted with several members of the missions committee.

Karen's out picking up some groceries as we're hosting a member of Mission Safety International's three man audit team arriving this afternoon. MSI is going to audit us as to how well we're operating as an FAA Certificated Repair Station. The team will be here through Thursday. While the FAA already regularly inspects us as a Repair Station, MSI is able to provide a little different perspective coming from a missions context and will be a complement to the FAA's already rigorous standards.

It's warm right now, over ninety degrees with nearly 50% humidity. Not enough to make one suicidal, but definitely warm enough to make one praise the Lord for air-conditioning!

Tucker enjoys the air-conditioning on the dining room floor.

Tanner enjoys the air-conditioning under the dining room table.

We're supposed to be 90+ through Thursday. Looking forward to getting back on my bicycle tomorrow morning. Have a great week!
