On The Road Again

The timing of yesterday's post and Friday's post was a little off. You can click on the bold links to read them if you missed them. In fact, any time you see a bold word like this on here, it will probably open a link in a new tab.

Hello Friends, from a rolling BoggsMobile. We are some where in Connecticut, I believe. It feels great to be back in the saddle again. Yes, I am singing our theme song "On The Road Again" as I type. On The Road Again, Just can't wait to get On The Road Again, The life I love is making music with my friends.... You are welcome, I know you will be singing it now too. 

I am excited about this northeastern trip we are making. It will be wonderful to see friends again and make new friends along the way. We came up through here two years ago and it is nice to be going back.

Although I love being on the road I dread having to bid everyone at home a final goodbye. Thankfully this is a short trip, in our books. The BoggsMobile will heading back toward Ohio before we know it. My final few days in Ohio were so good. I relaxed and spent time with family, that is two of my favorite things to do. 

Here are a few highlights of my week. 

Monday evening I spent with my cousin Lisa. We had a fabulous meal at Acapulco. Then we sat outside and enjoyed a beautiful summer night. It was a great time to catch up. I so glad our schedules finally lined up. 




Tuesday Mom and I had a chance to spend the day with Gran and Papaw. It was wonderful to see them one more time. Thanks again for being our chauffeurs all around creation and running errands with us. We had a great day kicking around town and watching Dad and a few others working at the barn.


Mamaw and I saw this beautiful sunset Tuesday evening between the Ranch and Mamaw and Papaw's. It was truly an amazing sight. It was a perfect ending to our day. 


Finally on Thursday Mamaw and I decided to enjoy some girl time with lunch and a Walmart run. Pictured below is the goodness of a Skyline 3-Way. What is a 3-Way you ask? It is spaghetti, chilli and cheese. It is one of my favorites and I had been carrying a gift card since Christmas just waiting for a trip home. Definitely not diet food but WOW it was good!


I think this concludes my pics from this trip home to Ohio. Thank you for stopping by! Stay tuned for more adventures in the coming days. I should be coming to you from tent revival in northern Vermont next Saturday if we have phone service.

Travel Day - Home to Tannersville, Pennsylvania

Yesterday's post went up late last night so you may have missed it. You can read it HERE. This post is going up Friday evening and Odie should have her post ready mid morning on Saturday as usual.

We were ready to roll shortly before 8:00 AM Friday morning as Dad and Mom pulled into the Lazy OD Ranch with Odie. She loaded in the bus and then we stopped a moment for one more picture before we hit the road.


We drove about 554 miles in about 9 hours and 15 minutes so it was a pretty good day of travel with only about 40 minutes of stops. The weather was perfect! We saw some beautiful sights going across I-80 in Pennsylvania and finally stopped at a rest area near the New Jersey state line.

Kelly had a wonderful supper prepared when we arrived and now we plan to lay down a few hours. If all goes well, we will leave here about midnight and skirt around the north side of New York City while the traffic is hopefully lighter. 

We have about 340 miles to go but we hope to only drive a couple of hours tonight. If we can find a place to stop in Connecticut, we will sleep the morning away and finish the trip Saturday afternoon.

Thanks for reading.

It Is Time to Roll Again

It is time to roll the big wheels of the BoggsMobile again. If all goes as planned we should pull out Friday  morning for our whirlwind tour of the northeast. We are really looking forward to it.

You can see our schedule for the next few weeks HERE.
_______________________

The first leg from the Lazy OD Ranch to Boston is nearly 900 miles. We plan to divide that up over the next two days, driving the biggest share Friday and then finishing up with a shorter day on Saturday. We will be preaching both Sunday services for Bethel Revival Center in the Boston suburb of Everett.

Many of you may remember that we originally had a revival scheduled at Bethlehem but had to reschedule it. They are changing locations and are right in the middle of a building sale and have way too many pieces to juggle at this time. They ask us to preach their regular services on Sunday though and we are thrilled to do so.

Our next scheduled stop is for tent revival in Lowell, Vermont. We are honored to be returning to Vermont to preach for Pastor David DiZazzo. They are providing the tent so all we have to do is show up, sing, preach and let the Lord have His way.

After the Vermont tent revival we will mosey down to New York City. We are scheduled to sing and preach the Anniversary services for Pastor Sunny Philip at Gateway Christian Center in Valley Stream, New York. The church is on Long Island just east of Queens and only 4-6 miles from the churches we preached in back in February.

We are planning to see many of our new friends in New York City while we are there. We will be visiting a few churches and some our friends will attend the services at Gateway. Taking the bus through New York City should be enough excitement for any one but I sure there will be more than just that.

When that meeting is over we will rush back to Dayton, Ohio as fast as our little wheels will carry us for Indoor Fellowship at our home church. That meeting should be a highlight of our year.

We have a few other special things planned for this trip. I am sure we will post about some of that as it happens. Stay tuned!

Thanks for reading.
