Down Day to Rest

July 21, 2011 by Linda Lee Patterson

Wanted to have a complete down day yesterday although that’s not what happen.  I had to stop and sleep for the night as I just couldn’t ride any longer.  The heat is really getting to me and I get so sleepy about 3 pm and I have to stop and rest for 15 min before I can push on.

When I arrived at Joey’s, he had signs in the front yard welcoming me!!  It was so fun to see!! He was a great host and had a meal all ready!!

I lost one of my small cosmetic bags along the way and Joey took me to the store to replace the items.  We were laughing and carrying on and Joey mentioned that I rode out on a motorcycle to this man that was standing there.  We all started chatting and Joey gave the guy one of my business cards.  As we were pulling out of the parking spot, the man came running out of the store waving his arms wildly.  I rolled down the window and he asked if he could donate to the Journey!!  WOW!!

I took a nap when we returned from the store and I dreamed for this first time on this trip. When I woke up, I felt refreshed and ready to go!! I got dressed up in that dress and heels and we went out.  We met friends and had a great time!!

I laid my head down that night with a full tummy and a full heart!!
