Josiah: It was a beautiful day that began on little sleep, but included some singing seniors, a sit in a veranda, a nap, a Wells Fargo scavenger hunt, a heated game of gin, a swim across the lake in borrowed shorts, ice cream after sundown and a talk about the future with some folk who've lots of it left, ourselves included. It was a day bursting at the seams.
Darrell: Thanks to Doug and Martha for being so generous and kind. They made our first night on the road comfortable- it was a nice transition from the comforts of home to the graciousness of the road. From Alex and his tall fishing stories to Kathlyn and her passionate singing (regardless of wether she knew the words or not) the nursing home was full of colorful conversation and lovely staff with awesome sub-dermal piercings. Josiah and I learned gin tonight. We look forward to a continuous month long card came. The result of which might lead to bloodshed.... or hurt some minor taunting. Finally, we had lakeside time with our hosts Sarah and Katie. Although the relaxation was short lived as we were coaxed into a swim across the lake and back... our efforts were compensated with a conversation about futures on plush leather couches. Josiah: Talk to you later. Keep up with us and thanks for checking in!
