Hi from North Carolina!

Friends, the presence of God, and good ole’ southern cooking - what a way to start off a 9 week trip. We thank God for those who have attended the concerts and are praying for fruit from these times of ministry.

We before we delve into trip photos here’s a link to an article Mrs. Izzy Lyman wrote rebutting Ms. West who categorized homeschooler as those living under tarps, with relatives and in trailers. You all might find the article interesting to say the least. : )

On to snapshots and captions from the road….!



All aboard!
The bus parked in front of the house while we
racked our brains for last minute items and
packed the remaining instruments.
Carrying all the brass and the cello is proving to
be a slight challenge space wise.

Vincent and dad checking the bus.



We had some fairly decent clunking
noises early in the travels. Praise the Lord
the mechanics were able to spot the problem in
Virginia before the repair process would have
became a major repair. A stop at Lowes and
about 20 minutes we were
ready to go again. :) Thank you, Lord!

V-Ball!




It was nice to stretch out in the church gym at Lowell First Baptist before supper. : ) We had a nice tournament of games after the service, too. : D

Sunday was a very busy day with two services.

I don’t know about everyone else, but my voice was very tired by Sunday night. Whew.

We had a great time of fellowship at both services and enjoyed meeting new folks and hanging out with old!



Well, we’re in South Carolina now finished with a concert at the Oaks.
It will probably be Alabama before this is posted.

God bless you all!

Carol for all
