A Day of Rest

Our pace while in Elkhart has been too hectic . . . with the emotional drain of the funeral of Carole's cousin, Gabby, and visiting with so many friends and relatives, Carole is exhausted . . . so today Carole wanted to spend "A Day of Rest" . . . just hanging around "The Bus". We just relaxed, did a little reading, and watched a little TV.

Late in the afternoon, however, Carole had a phone call from one of her long time friends, Nancy Goepfrich Westlake, who Carole had not seen for some time, so we put "A Day of Rest"on hold and drove to Larry & Nancy's home.


Carole and Nancy spent several hours talking about old times and getting caught up on all of the activities in each other's lives.

Nancy's husband, Larry, and I had a good time talking guns and shooting while monitoring a Barn Sale, which they had in progress.










In the evening, Larry & Nancy, suggested we go to a nearby Mexican restaurant for something to eat. We all drove to the restaurant, but stopped in the entry for a quick photo op . . . that's Larry & Nancy on the left and Carole & I on the right.

Then it was inside for nachos and salsa while we waited for our order to be served. It was very good Mexican food, more like authentic Mexican and not Tex-Mex cooking.

After dinner, we returned to "The Bus" to turn in for the night . . . finishing "A Day of Rest". We plan to get up earlytomorrow morning to get on the road back to Kansas.
