So Far...(by mary)

ITS RAINING!!!

Everything's good. We just finished our bike tour yesterday and it was REALLY hard!!! It was very fun though. Our last ride was in a huge valley. Right when we got to the top of the mountain, it started to pour buckets of rain. The rain was so hard you couldn't even see 5 feet in front of you. It was also kind of gross because it was a horse and buggy trail so we were pretty much riding through horse poop puddles that splashed in our face and our body. But for a half and hour, we rode in the rain. It was a blast! I loved it. Then we walked in to the b&b- drenched. Then, that night we went to a show called river dance. It was soooo cool. It was a tap dancing theatrical play that was so awesome. It was very loud and in sync. I threw up twice on the ten hour plane flight and lost binkey and my bag. Other than that, everything is great. The b&b's we've stayed at are cool and the hotels are awesome! Right now, I'm at a house in England thats called the old rectory which is were the priest used to live (the church is across the lane) that is 4 stories high, has a pool, a water slide, and there back yard is as big (probably bigger) than a football fields length. It has a hedge maze that goes on forever. its really fun to play hide-n-go seek. =) The family has four kids.
Blond Boy that's 10 years old= Lachlan (Locklen)
Dirty Blond Girl thats11 years old (my age)= Francesca
Strawberry Blond Boy that's 15 years old= Collum
And a REALLY pretty blond girl that's 17 years old= Charissa (Carissa)

P.S. My suitcase and my blanket (binkey) finally arrived so i'm having fun now.

P.S.S. I HATE POTATOES!!! not really, but in Ireland that's all they serve you.

Hi Guys! Great posting Mary. I loved it! Charlie and Colleen you know you are blessed by 3 really terrific kids. Service was really good this morning. Nola gave a short testimony. God really spoke through her this morning. It was amazing. Worship was wonderful, as always and Pastor's sermon was terrific as it is every Sunday....hold on....I had to wipe off the brown on my nose. Just kidding. So I should say you didn't miss much - just kidding again. It was all so awesome but there were 5 empty seats. We miss you guys. We are praying for you. May God continue to bless you all.

Mary, Your description of bicycling in the rain took me right back to summer of 11953 and my first trip to Europe, a student bicycle tour. We started in Endland and had numerous days of cycling all day in the rain. We had ponchos whcih covered head, body and handlebars but left out legs and feet. It was a most unusual experience to rotate pedals while the water in one's Keds sloshed vack and forth from toes to heels. We stayed in hostels and ofter slept on matresses of straw. We are enjoying the family's notes and we miss the activity next door.
Best to all. A & J
