Day 24 Wed. Oct 8, 2008

Today I felt the need to regroup. Pam agreed. We had to catch up on the blog. I, of course, made an assessment of my condition. I felt the need to massage my lower extremities, soothe my aching pains. Stretch my left arm and sleep a little longer. I took a very hot tub soak. The first one ever on this trip. The rest period was well spent. Pam typed my notes, I wrote with more clarity, I hope. I felt so relaxed and unrushed. We got groceries and Pam cooked.

Thanks to Arlene and Judy, Pam’s cousins, for supplying the funds for tonight’s stay. Thanks again also to Mike from St. Joan’s for donating a night’s stay. And thanks again to Serdar, a Turkish angel and friend who went out of his way to provide a room at the Holiday Inn Express in Liberal, KS. We truly wish from the bottom of our hearts to thank each and every one of you for your kindness and thoughtfulness. NB: My bottom thanks you too.

I also had time to read the Guest Book messages. Thank you Charmion, my niece in Trinidad, for the Guest Book note and for getting the article in the Trinidad Express. Thanks to Millie Clark, to Cheryl Kramer, to Joe Chouinard and to Amy from Famous Dave’s. We really enjoy reading all of them.

I would like to thank everyone for your encouraging words. It means a great deal when one’s world has become minimized by a bicycle, a motel room and restaurants. Thank God I have a charming companion who motivates me and keeps me focused all the way.

Yes, Wednesday was a day well spent and certainly much cherished. Once more, thank you all.
