Somewhere in Eaton, Indiana

Hi Students!

Today I am somewhere in Eaton, Indiana and I have hit the wall!

Strong head winds, flat tire, fatigue and long distances have won out; I cannot continue this journey alone. My brothers Dan and Ray drove here from Chicago and will accompany me to Washington D. C. as my "road crew". The journey is always easier when family and friends are there to help you. Tomorrow we will cross the Ohio boarder, refreshed and ready to continue on.

I have learned from my brothers that my 92 year old mother has decided to quite procrastinating and sharpen up her computer skills and check out the blog. It goes to show that when it comes to computers and the internet anyone can get on-line.

Stay with me and I hope to get some more photos posted soon.

Jim,
We are all behind you. Glad the boys are with you. Some people think St. Christopher is out - but we still think he is the go to guy for safe trips. May he be with you to the finish line.

I am glad that Uncle Dan and Uncle Ray are there with you. There is no way to avoid fun when Ryans' are together!!

A big way to go to Nana too for being 92 and still willing to try new things.

You were bound to hit a fatigue block or two. Just enjoy your
R&R with your brothers at night so that you have the drive and determination to continue onward in the morning. I hope that the weather cooperates fully --- no BIG storms on the horizon, I hope. By the way, did you see the school bus factory in Richmond, IN?
Many continued blessings as you head toward the Buckeye state.
