August 4, 2011 - Toledo, OH

Well as you can see from Barb's Facebook page, due to her leukemia diagnosis, we have cut our trip short and will be heading back to Texas today so that she can start treatments ASAP.

We have heard from a lot of friends and have numerous offers to help but there is really nothing that can be done right now until we get back to Houston except for everyone to put her on your prayer lists.

July 31, 2011 - Toledo, OH

Left Indiana after sleeping in late and drove to Toledo. Arrived at Mom's house about 2:00. We called her when we were about an hour away so that she could clean up the house before we got there (ha-ha). We didnt give her much notice because we didnt want her stocking up with a bunch of junk food ahead of time.

We pulled in and barely made it down the driveway - fortunately Chuck had cut back the bushes a couple weeks ago, so we didnt scrape up the sides going back to the garage. Chuck and Daniel were here when we arrived and he even cleaned the pool yesterday so it was nice and clean for us!!!

After connecting to the electricity we found out that the voltage at the garage is only about 106-108 - too low for the air conditioners. So we run the generator in the evening so that we can turn the air conditioners on and cool the coach down for bedtime. Then we turn it off when sleeping.

We will be here visiting friends and relatives in the area for at least a week or more.
