September 17-19, 2019 Sangchris Lake State Park, Deer Run Campground, Rochester, IL THE SUNSET!

We traveled into Illinois today -about 6 hours. another long day of driving. I want to mention that God has protected us times with “almost” accidents (side swipes, head-on’s, and rear-end crashes) HE had certainly put guardian Angels out to protect and defend us- Thanks God!

At Sangchris State Park (We are liking State Parks!) we were overwhelmed with the setting AND the sunset by the lake!

We saw fish jumping, cranes swooping, and squirrels chasing! It was a treat to sit here and take it all in!

It was great to just relax. We’ve shared with each other that it’s really hard to remind ourselves that “this is not a vacation” This is our new life – WOW -so blessed and grateful for the years of hard work that got us here. Thank you God!

September 15-16, 2019 Wallace State Park – a place to relax and enjoy the country.

We traveled about 5 hours today – we were ready to get off the road. Wallace State Park is beautiful….and humid! We “dripped” the whole time we were setting up. SO thankful for God’s creation and air conditioning!!

Lorree continues to work part time at Revive Our Hearts from “home” We have enjoyed great reception on our unlimited data plans – either AT&T or Verizon – so she has been able to connect from everywhere we’ve been!

The next day the humidity was low and we enjoyed being out in our “sun room”

September 1 – 5, 2019 Our first stop: Mueller State Park, Colorado

It was a bit tense as the Avalanche showed all the dash warning lights for most of the way. It never affected the drive-ability, but just nerve wracking to wonder if it would get us there. About 3/4 of the way, the dash light situation quit and never came back on. All was well.

Creation proclaims His majesty! Our new backyard!    

I love how Lorree gets up early to work her part time job, leading others to know the Truth of Gods Word. ❤️ (👍)

Able to keep connected with today’s technology !

We thoroughly enjoyed our 1st guests to our new home! Thank you Duane and Ruth for making a trip to see us!!! And sure enjoyed our time with Kay yesterday! Thanks for coming up to see us!!!!  …and Nick stopped by for a few minutes after hiking another 14er 🙂

Getting ready to do some electric “biking” around the campground! 

Mueller Park has a number of trail heads with lots of trails. We chose to do a 5 mile round trip hike (of course it was up hill all the way!)

It was a beautiful hike this morning- ahh the splendor and majesty of God seen in His creation☝️❤️

It was a great first stop on our journey – much needed rest and relaxation after a hectic busy full past six months! Sweet!
