April 3

Everything is lush and green this morning after another good overnight rain! Amazing how all winter long, the state of Florida was sooo very dry and in such dire need.of moisture. And soon as we left, the rain just keeps coming down wherever we wander! April Showers are happening in GA, SC, NC and even had some sprinkles today. We are at the Dixie Caverns RV Park in Salem, VA tonight - drove 70 miles along the beautiful Blue Ridge Parkway today.Grandma and Brady this morning before we said good-bye...
My cousin, Clarine and Bert. We had a wonderful visit with these two very special relatives/friends/inspirations to all....Bert is an orthopedic surgeon who was injured in a bicycle accident last October and is now a quadriplegic.
Bert and Mark

After our visit, Mark and I enjoyed an excellent dinner at Mamma Maria's (a Bert/Clarine recommendation)!

Pat: A wonderful email about your cousin. He is a wonder to behold and very courageous. Prayers all around for him and his family. A deputy sheriff in our county was shot in the neck last year and is paralyzed I think from the waist down. He is back at work, of course only in the sheriff's office now. He also went to the Shepherd Center and they did wonders for him like they did for your cousin. I have a friend here in Morganton who knows a lady whose daughter is married to someone in the Shepherd family and has talked to her about the center and what wonderful work they do there. We are so very fortunate and do count our blessings every day. JudyB
