Well, we'd like to drive home on the 8th of November.  But we have this issue...  our van is totalled and in Nashville.    I am fully confident that God has made a way for us to get back home, but we would appreciate your prayers for wisdom as we seek His will.

Just to give an idea, we've gotten some donations toward the purchase of a replacement vehicle, and are looking for something that would fit us and work for us long-term.  One van that we are looking at, the seller (a trusted friend...

Well, it has been a good day.

We are using the church's minivan (not quite enough seats, but we'll manage) to get around for now.

We started out the day with breakfast at a restaurant called the Dillard House (a very good place to eat).  It's in Dillard, Georgia which is just down the mountain from where we're staying in North Carolina.

After that we came back to the Byrd's Nest (the house L's grandparents lived in, and Wayne and Genene are in for now) and got ready for the memorial...

...and I finally have a chance to log in to the website. We were headed from St Louis to near Franklin, NC.  Day before yesterday, in Nashville (about 9:30, rainy and slick) we got in a wreck.  Our 15 passenger van was totalled.  Fortunately we were near a motel and were able to drive there and get a room.  Yesterday, knowing that van was basically done for, we decided to see how far it would take us before it totally died... it ended up being about 10 or 15 miles.

Thanks to the hard work...

but, hopefully we'll get things sped back up.  We're planning on heading to North Carolina Oct 25 and staying about a week, then hitting Florida to visit L's family there.  I'll probably get some work in with Wayne while we're there.

So it wasn't my sciatic nerve.  The chiropractor (Dr Mary) had me lay on my back and she checked both legs for movement and strength.  My right couldn't turn in at all, hardly.  She worked on it for maybe five minutes and I had pretty much full range of movement...

Well... just to give you a picture of what's going on:

Dad is no longer working with me.  That means SMD Services will no longer be installing cabinets and will go back to mostly dishwashers and other appliances and such.

I've torn out the wall (down to the studs) on two sides of our dining room.  One side I've put drywall back up on and it's even painted!  The other side I'm planning on building out a little bit first.

My Sciatic nerve really started acting up last week.  This...
