Safely In Nigeria

Hello just a quick post to let you know all is well. I just realized I missed a voicemail from Dad. They made it safely to their hotel in Nigeria. He asked me to post because they do NOT have wifi.

They were extremely tired but safe. In Atlanta they were delayed untill almost 2 A.M. So Wednesday day was a long travel day for all of them. Bro. Gary started early Wednesday.  I know he was wore out. 

On the home front in Ohio I am doing great. I have been hunting two full days. I am still a deer hunter.  Hopefully I will change that soon. 

We are headed out for a girls trip now. I will fill you in later.

A Visit to the Original KFC in Corbin, Kentucky

I am going to have this ready to post on Thursday just in case we are not able to post from Nigeria the first day. Remember, there may be more than one post a day while were are gone so scroll down to see.

Sunday we ate with the Carpenter's at the Original KFC in Corbin, Kentucky. The colonel's story is very interesting and the chicken was very, very good. We had great food, fellowship and fun in the house that fried chicken built!

Of couse, Kelly Jo had to have some pictures with Colonel Sanders. She loves those celebrity pictures you know. In this first one the Colonel is trying to balance a bucket of chicken on her head.

Evidently Colonel Sanders had never seen an iPhone. I would guess he is just too busy preparing chicken and visiting with all of the folks that come through. You can see that he is very interested in the KJ's iPhone. He really loved all of her pictures, especially the pictures with other celebrity's. 

He was really fascinated that she had met and had her picture taken with Big Boy, The Geico Gecko and Ben Isaacs. The Colonel has known and respected Big Boy for many years but he really wanted to meet the Gecko and Ben Isaacs someday.

I am so glad we finally made to the home of Colonel Sanders and Kentucky Fried Chicken. I have been a fan for years!

God bless,

Davy

Atlanta

UPDATE 10:45 PM: Maintenance issue with the plane. Departure delayed until at least 1:00 AM. Still seated on plane as of 10:45 PM.

UPDATE #2 1:30 AM: We deplaned (Tattoo) about 10:55. Everybody and everything went off the plane and into the terminal. Delta was super professional about it. Every employee had a great, friendly attitude. They have been trained good.

They provided a meal voucher and all the refreshments we wanted. We are back on the plane and we are waiting for a replacement crew and for all the bags to be stowed.

They are hoping to be in the air by 2:00 AM. That puts us in Nigeria about 7:00 PM their time.

Original Post:
We are on our way. In fact we are boarding in Atlanta right now.

The last picture is the line of elderly and those that need assistance boarding. I counted 17 wheelchairs. Odie would have made 18 if she had come. Lol

The plane is completely full. No room to lay down on this flight. Maybe we can sleep some sitting up.

Bro. Lockwood was waiting for us in Atlanta and we made some Nigerian friends while at the gate.

The lady in the picture with KJ and Bro. Lockwood lives in Ibadan. Hopefully she can attend service there Sunday the 9th.

It won't be long and we should see all of our Nigerian friends.

Odie hunted today but no deer yet. I think she plans to hunt Thursday too.

God bless you all.
