Amarillo Ranch RV Park.

We connected with Barb and Darrell Howard who we met at Quail Run last winter.  Amarillo is their home and we were fortunate to catch them here before they take off again... they're full-time RV'ers, also.  It was great to visit with them.  Thanks for the meal, yall!  We realized that we'd only had a bowl of cereal and some trail mix all day, so we were hungry! :-)

Before we left for dinner, I got a disturbing phone call from our Leslie.  All the plans to be able to move to Round Rock on the 22nd of this month fell through today. She was devastated and that is only one of the emotions she was experiencing.  We know that God has a plan and we trust Him, we're are just crying out to our Father for "Help" right now. This family has been living under separate roofs for over a year now and it's been hard.  I'm so proud of Leslie and how she has held up, but it's very dark for her right now.  We are hanging on to this:

"There is a Power in this world that's bigger than the circumstances you walk in."

Even if we lose everything, we still have Jesus and we are blessed.  He sees our tears.

Glad you arrived safely. You should make sure that you stay at ranches the rest of the way home. That would be neat. We will keep Leslie and her family in our prayers. Love to you guys and safe travels.
