Rosemary's Blessing:
Lord
Enlighten what’s dark in me,
Strengthen what’s weak in me,
Mend what’s broken in me,
Bind what’s bruised in me,
Heal what’s sick in me,
And lastly,
Revive whatever peace and love
Has died in me.
Amen.

Beginning their new life, Valerie and Victor Godinez, married Saturday evening. Victor is Luciano's "little" brother. Both brothers are doing really well.
Special Announcement: We are moving
After celebrating week after week for 10 years, PISD is asking us to move over to Sigler on Janwood. Apparently it is quite expensive to A/C the large cafetorium at Vines. Sigler will be more economical. September 6 we begin our new adventure.

Thanks for your Generosity, Everybody.
Do not plan on riding your bike through the towns. Between overnight towns, there are 5-6, always jam-packed with bikers walking. Pictured, Fonda, just west of Fort Dodge and a few of the 15 thousand riders.
Have a Good Week, J.S

Almost every little village had a water station, usually toward the end of the town. A very popular stop by almost every biker. Look at that Iowa sky.

We passed a rainy night in Storm Lake, appropriately. A second storm passed overhead at 7:00 A.M., heading west to east really swiftly. By 8:45 we could head out following the storm, but not in rain. The day turned beautiful and we arrived dry in the beautiful over night town of Fort Dodge, the former home of Kent & Diane.
