Cedarbrook Team On the Road!

Saturday 2/17 8:30am….somewhere close to the Dells.

I know, your thinking, 'I thought they left at 6?' We did! I am just officially awake. By the way this is Michele, your official guide to the 2/07 Katrina Trip.

Chris is as of now our faithful leader and we haven't lost anyone yet. I am just amazed at what a diverse group God has brought together for this trip. Let the adventures begin!

Quote of the moment: "Nanos rock!" -Brandy

Still Satuday 9:55am….honestly I don't know where we are.

But I do know God is amazing. Dave has been filling Brandy and I in on his new non-profit venture. I have dreamt of starting a 'make you house a home' non-profit…and it may fit well with Daves !! Cool!!

12:24 still driving. The roads aren't great. Brandy called Jayne to start up prayer chain. The good news is if we get stranded, we have enough non perishable food to last a long time. Learning lots about fishing and hunting. Oh goody…we are now onto cars.

1:43 Saturday and guesss what?? Yes we are still driving. A great big thanks to Sandy B. for the snack bags!!!!!!!

Quote of the moment: "Do you want some lotion? It’s Mary Kay."-michele

Still Saturday…still driving.

Saw the arch in St. Louis…after 4 tries, finally got a photo.

Quote of the moment: "Did you know flip flops are back in."- Jeremy B.

Still Satuday…8pm.. Farmington, MO!! ... finally NOT driving!!!

God bless Bill Younker for the Homey accommodations and wonderful company.

Ate our weight in food at Rays Buffet.

A time of devotion. A good protion of our team has been to NO on Katrina relief before….they are excited to see some of the work they have done come full circle. How cool for them.

Jeremy C. shared his gift of music with us…on his guitar and we sang. Not quite the Cedarbrook band….but still awesome.

Some "Quotes of the Moment" from other vehicles:

"We're in the lead?" - Steve

"Are we following the right van?" -Dave

"If we are, I don't know who on our team has a walker." -Michele

Sunday, February 18 - 7:56 am…leaving Bill's.

God thanks for our good rest and getting to know your wonderful friend Bill. God bless him and his family.

"on the road again…"

Stopping at 'Loves' travel stop…fuel up and stretch. This place is awesome!!! You can buy an oven to plug into your car!!! And it's 38 degrees.

All cars now have radios to communicate….good idea?? I'll let you know.

Tony broke out the shorts.

Quote of the moment:

"Can we speed up? A guy walking just passed us." - Jeremy C

12:30 Sunday 2/18

We invaded and took over Quiznos somewhere in Mississippi. Got it to go….picnic at The Mississippi Information center….44 degrees….."it’s just like coming home."

Quote of the moment: "oh man, I left my pants at Quiznos." - Jeremy C

So he and Andy back track to get the pants….and catch us at the next fuel up stop.

Thanks you God…for the safety thus far, the laughs that make the miles fly by and the awesome bonding that is taking place.
