The morning started out fairly according to plan...that is, until we got almost to Eufaula, AL. Just prior to getting to Eufaula, Chas pulled over to tell me that he had a road noise. We could see no major problems, but the sound/noise persisted. We then stopped in Eufaula to find that maybe the tread on the back tire of the Mistress looked a little odd. Odd in that the inside tread was protruding out and we felt it best to figure out what to do. So, with a couple of phone calls, we had a place to park the Mistress and we were headed to Bob & Angie's to pick up another bike. We had already planned to get the bike from Bob and Angie in a few weeks. However, according to Bob, the Lord desired to have us pick it up on this trip that he might not have to bring it down...Of course, we were so incredibly humbled to begin with with the whole idea of gaining this bike from Bob and Angie and at such a great deal....(believe me, we have been incredibly blessed and pray that the Lord blesses Bob and Angie in return). We visited with Bob & Angie just long enough for the kids to fall in love with one of their dogs, Grizzly. He stole Angela's heart and now he is her dog. The kids left out headed on to Carnesville because David wanted to surprise his grandparents, aunt, uncle & cousins because Angela had come up. We then left headed to Commerce to meet up with Herman and Susan. In Commerce, we ate dinner and then, in true HBW fashion, went to the Waffle House for further fellowship. We had a great time today visiting with and catching up with old friends/HBW Royalty. It is now near midnight back home and near one o'clock here. The kids have been up to Commerce to meet back up with us and are now headed to my grandmother's house, where we will be staying, and Chas and I have said our good-byes, gotten our hugs and watched our friends ride away. We now sit in Denny's (using the free wi-fi to post tonight's blog), and reflect on the day. We were blessed with safe travels thus far, and have had great fellowship with people we love very much. Now, we must pack up and travel about 20 or so miles tonight before we are able to call it a night. We have a busy day ahead of us tomorrow....hope to see you all back here tomorrow night. Until then........
