Good Morning!
What a fun day it was yesterday with 6 Amish teachers in Lansing, IA at “Horsfall’s Variety Store” (opens@9). Anything and everything you can imagine in there with single file aisles packed full. There was no room left in the cargo space of the Expedition. Then it was off to New Albin, IA to “The Way Station” a thrift store (opens@10) with fun staff and good items at a reasonable price. Today will be an easy day for which I am grateful.

Know you are prayed for.
