Salsa Anyone?

I can hear the question on the tip of everyone's tongue right now. "I wonder if the Boggs' have been to Acapulco since they have been in Ohio?" 

My answer? 
"Is the pope catholic?" 
"Is the sky blue?"
"Is the sun still shining?"
"Is the earth still spinning?"
"Is the government still spending money?" 
"Do turkeys gobble?" 
"Does a one legged duck swim in circles?"

Of course we have eaten at Acapulco! We have been home over 48 hours, for goodness sake! In fact, we have visited Acapulco a few times in the last two days. We have pictures to prove it!








The first time we ate there Monday we met my Dad and Mom but failed to get a picture of the crowd. One evening we walked in and our good friends were waiting for a table. They asked us to join them and we were thrilled to do so. We love Bro. Keith and Sis. Jen and their family. All three of their kids have always been so precious and sweet!


We enjoyed another great meal and wonderful fellowship. It was a super evening with friends. Bro. Keith insisted on picking up the tab for dinner and we sure do appreciate it!

We did not get to go for lunch Tuesday. I had some dental work Tuesday morning and they had to numb both sides of my mouth. It was a challenge to talk, chew or swallow without making hamburger out of my tongue so I skipped lunch. No sense ripping open my jaw or tongue right before Thanksgiving dinner!

It has been good to see all my friends at Acapulco and to drink some of their award winning salsa! Wow! That stuff is good!

Hopefully I will have another dose of salsa today and then I will compromise and have some turkey on Thursday! I know that will be good too!

Thanks for reading.

AmazonSmile - Boggs Family Ministries


With Black Friday and Cyber Monday approaching, Odie thought it would be a good time to remind you that you can get the same low Amazon prices and yet help Boggs Family Ministries a little bit with each purchase.

I mentioned back in January you can go to smile.amazon.com and choose Boggs Family Ministries as your designated charity. You will be given an opportunity to search for a charity and you can search Boggs, Boggs Family or Boggs Family Ministries and Boggs Family Ministries Inc, Waynesville, Ohio will come up in the list. Then select it.

Caution: There is also a Bogg Ministries in Miamisburg, Ohio but that is not us.

Once you designate Boggs Family Ministries, 0.5% of your smile.amazon.compurchases will be donated to Boggs Family Ministries. You will be ordering from the same companies, receiving the same prices and the same service but you will be helping support Boggs Family Ministries. 0.5% is not much on a single purchase but if a bunch of people choose Boggs Family Ministries for their designated charity and then do their normal Amazon purchases through smile.amazon.com, 0.5% would certainly add up after a while.

Afterward if you continue to shop through your regular Amazon link then the ministry will not receive the 0.5%. You must change your Amazon link and do your shopping through smile.amazon.com in order for it to work correctly.

Thank you,

Davy, Kelly and Odie

Weekend Woundup and Weview November 22

The weekend began in Vonore, Tennessee at East Tennessee Luxury Coach. This has become our Tennessee home. Jeff Rowe takes good care of the BoggsMobile and helps keep us on the road. I thank God for him every few days!

Here are a few pictures from Vonore. This beautiful coach is only 3 years newer than ours but it is in fine shape!






This one is a 2015 triple slide coach.






Hooked up and ready to go Saturday morning.




The weather was cool and sunny and perfect for driving Saturday as we turned south to Georgia.




Then we hit a construction zone that was also the scene of a terrible accident. It took us one hour and six minutes to go about 8 miles.




Bro. St. Cyr's church is a storefront in downtown Adairsville, Georgia. It is a beautiful building. We pulled in front and parked in the street to unload our sound system.



The bus pictures and several of the pictures during church were sent to us by Sis. Donnie St. Cyr.










After we were loaded in we went about 15 miles south to the KOA in Cartersville.

The singing started at 6:00 PM and we had a full house!

Davy and Pastor Tony St. Cyr.













Our dear friends, Bro. Greg and Sis. Teresa Tinsley drove nearly two hours to be with us. They really surprised us by coming and made our day!













We sang to a capacity crowd Saturday night and they responded great. It was a wonderful night and was followed by a wonderful service Sunday morning. It has been a few years since we have been with the St. Cyr's and we really enjoyed the weekend!



















After a great service Sunday morning we ate lunch with Bro. and Sis. St. Cyr at a great local buffet then cranked up the bus and headed for home. It was a long drive home and the traffic seemed heavier than usual through north Georgia and all of Tennessee. The traffic finally thinned out after London, Kentucky although it kept getting colder by the mile.

We drove 442 miles in 7 hours and 30 minutes and we pulled into the Lazy OD Ranch about 10:30. We had the car unhooked, the BoggsMobile turned around, backed into the barn, the electric hooked up and the doors shut by 11:00. We pretty much have that down to a science!







I forgot to mention it was 25 degrees outside when we arrived home and 33 inside the barn. We are nuts for going north this time of year!

That pretty much wraps up our weekend. Thanks for reading.
