Schedule Change

We have added a date to the calendar. Yesterday morning I received a text asking us to sing Sunday morning at another church nearby here. We have plans to spend the afternoon with my immediate family Sunday afternoon but everyone was OK with us making plans for Sunday morning.

So we will be singing at Gregoryville Christian Church near Grayson, Kentucky. Google maps says it is about 11 miles from here. It is located right on US 60 between Carter Caves State Park turn off and Grayson. It is also visible from I-64. 

Service begins at 11:00. Come on out and be in service with us Sunday morning if you are nearby. 

We had another great day relaxing and spending time with family. Kelly Jo and I took another walk to a second natural bridge yesterday evening. This time my Bro. Steve, his wife Karen and Cousin Reva's grandson Solomon walked with us. 

We may make it to the third natural bridge before the week is out. It sure is beautiful here. I will have some pictures to prove it. Here is one to wet your appetite. 

We had a great day visiting with extended family and sitting around the fire in the evening. There should be more good times to come.

Pictures From Home And A Story

We had a restful and productive day at Carter Caves State Park. We will have pictures to post and stories to tell later in the week.

I am posting a few pictures from our last week near home while we were in revival at Anchor of Hope and the 4th of July. The first picture is me with my good friend that runs the Acapulco restaurant in Lebanon. He is a good guy and takes care of me while I am home. 

Odie ran into friends at the mall.

On the 4th we visited with some of the family at my Dad's barn and at Acapulco. 

After a great meal for Kelly Jo's birthday on the 3rd we splurged with a little Graeter's ice cream. 

I have a funny story. Kelly Jo and I were out running in the Green Machine near the end of April. We climbed out of the car and a man stopped us and said, "It's probably none of my business but I noticed your tag is expired."

We knew we had bought the new stickers so we were amazed that he was correct. We had driven thousands of miles in no telling how many states for over 3 months on expired tags. In some states that is no big deal but other states are very picky on tag enforcement including Ohio. 

We opened the glove box and there was the registration with the new 2015 sticker waiting to be put on. We put it on right that moment. The old sticker had expired January 16th. 

We were in bad frigid weather that month and we remembered putting the sticker on the bus and deciding to wait for a warmer day for the car sticker. 

Fast forward over three months to the first week of July. I was going through some insurance and registration papers and saw another 2015 sticker. 

What in the world? No! It could not be the BoggsMobile sticker.

Yep, it was the new sticker for the bus that we did not put on after all. There have been way too many winters in Oklahoma, Kansas and Missouri that we have had to warm up the license plate with a blow dryer or heat gun to get the sticker to stick. The cold years must have ran together in our frozen brains because Kelly Jo and I both clearly remembered putting the bus sticker on in January. 

You know what we did? We forgot! So here we are installing the new sticker 5 months and 18 days late on July 4th. 

We ought to get a refund for part of the year or something. It is very funny now since I did not get pulled over and given a ticket. 

Now back to food pictures. 

A Long Travel Day to Carter Caves State Park

We had an extremely long and grueling travel day on Monday. It was 7 miles from Pleasant Valley Church near Olive Hill to the campground at Carter Caves State Park. We drove the the Green Machine up here a little before noon to see if our spot was available and to make sure we could get into it. The trip back and forth in the car and then once in the BoggsMobile was 21 whole miles. Like I said, an extremely long and grueling travel day.

The last 7 miles in the bus did take 25-30 minutes because of the abundance of curves and hills. The last hill up to the campground is very steep and has a hairpin curve but the BoggsMobile has been up here twice before so I knew what to expect. We also had our last fifth wheel and Chevy truck up here at least twice.

It has been 5 years since we have been here and I was confused about the best spot for the bus. They have several 50 amp sites big enough, but with trees, narrow roads and poles there is ONE site that is perfect for us. When I reserved the spot online several months ago I reserved #68. From memory and from pictures I thought this was the spot where I parked in 2009. Later I discovered how to access my reservation history and found out the ideal site for the bus is #62. By the time I called to see if I could change #62 was booked.

When we drove around this morning in the Green Machine we found 3-4 other sites that were easier to access than #68 but they were all reserved for at least a few nights this week. So we wiggled into #68 and set up for the week. Actually Kelly Jo backed in perfect the very first time. That does not mean it was not difficult to get into it just means she is an awesome driver!

It was about 4:30 by the time we were all settled in and since I was running on about 4 hours sleep I laid down on the couch and took a nap. After nap time we went outside and spent the evening enjoying absolutely perfect weather. Kelly Jo grilled some low fat hot dogs and we loaded them up with cheese, kraut and horseradish mustard. Yummy.

It was a good day. The lightning and threat of rain forced us inside after 10:00 and the weather guessers are calling for rain most of the next 24 hours. That's OK because we are not easily bored and we have plenty to keep us busy inside. The rest of the week should be more of the same stuff.

Thanks for reading.
