OHIO

We stayed at a campground called Kenisee Lakes in Ohio. We managed to get a good system going there. We would have breakfast and get the dishes washed by 10 am (that may not sound like a feat, but believe me, it is). I would drive Randy up to the family center where he would work. The internet was faster than what we could get on the aircard, so he needed to be up there to get decent internet. I would head back and then the kids would start school. At some point I would get lunch started. We would all load up and head back up to the family center and eat lunch with Randy. That was around 1:30-2:00. We found out that if you want to meet people, this is the place to do it. We met so many interesting people up there, were able to share what we were doing and our faith in Jesus. There were so many nice people there. I am so thankful Randy had to go up there and work. The kids loved it there too. They played games and puzzles, got to fish and go out in rowboats, and we all learned how to play pickleball. These "older people" sure know how to play pickleball. I said that I need to find some younger people to play with, maybe they won't be so good.
We also found out what it was like to be pinching pennies while OTR. That was a bit of struggle but also a test of our faith. Are we willing to go to the end, not give up when things get tough? Are we willing to do what He has called us to do? Or are we going to bail out?
We are still keeping-on, keeping on, putting our faith, trust and hope in Jesus Christ.
We have a few pics of Ohio but we didn't do much outside of the campground. One, because of lack of funds and two, there wasn't much to do. Ohio gave us a chance to stay put for two weeks, meet a few wonderful fulltimers, spend time as a family and see where our faith really was.
