Hello from Hutchinson, Kansas

It has been awhile since I have updated our blog due to the fact it has been hard to find wireless connections.
We had a great time in Charlottesville, VA, with Jim and Cindy. We visited some historical places and had good times with family.
On June 10 we flew from Dulles Airport in Washington, D.C. back to Dallas and spent the night with Ann. The next day we drove to Amarillo and spent the night at Cal Farley's Boys Ranch. That is a very interesting place.
On June 12th we drove to LaJunta, Colorado. We did some looking for a house in case of eventual retirement. We found one with about 11 acres by Rocky Ford which we like pretty well. We had a good time with friends in Colorado, and we spent last Sunday afternoon driving in the mountains. June 15th was my 56th spiritual birthday. Roger and I were both saved that day in 1952. It was Father's Day that year as well.
Monday we drove to Hutchinson, Kansas, and have been doing more house hunting. We haven't found anything we feel the Lord really wants us to do anyting about at this time. Yesterday we took a tour of the Hutchinson Salt Mine Museum 650 feet below the earth's surface. That was fascinating. Today we went to Cheney Lake and spent some time on the beach, then ate at Carriage Crossing, in the Amish community of Yoder. We plan to be in Hutchinson until Thursday, and then go to the Dallas area for a family reunion on Don's mother's side of the family.
We plan to return home about July 2nd. We have had a busy month seeing many family and friends and much beauty.
