loddy's adventure

just received some great pics yesterday from uncle paul in california. here's 4 of them: two are loddy and puppy in aunt donna and uncle paul's pool in fresno CA. him and beautiful auntie donna, then him and del's 98 1/2 y/o believing, mighty prayer warrior grandma. she has been praying for del since his birth! (future blog idea on praying grandmothers. i had one too and wanna be one, not too soon tho.)

the back story is this:  our son finished his degree from u of a, fayetteville, (praise the Lord and start makin' those loan pymts) and then set out on a lifetime adventure in august! his goal was to travel and settle in the great west, destination eugene, oregon (as far away from his mama as he could get without leaving the country! was it something i said?). 

as it turns out, he discovered west was not best and after 8 weeks on the road, he's now back in little rock settling in to life post-college, (pre-grad school is what we tell him), working at children's hospital where his dad and sister both work. he's in a former job on the STAT team but applying for degree related positions.

he and faithful puppy chance traveled something like 9,500 miles and within a day or two of his return, he had all this data on a spread sheet (he was a business major after all) with miles per gallon, names of places he filled up etc.  he stayed with fam in tulsa OK, great falls MT, eureka CA and fresno CA. the rest of the time he was camping in national forests and occasionally in a wal-mart parking lot where they welcome campers.

loddy only took about 500+ pics so i'll ask to share some of those with you soon. A-mazing ones you will not believe. they look fake, they're so good.
