Andrea and I drove back to Maryland early Sunday afternoon. We went for a walk in the country once we got back. Some quads flew past us on the road and I said to Andrea how much fun that looked, so she took off to her grandparents' farm to borrow their quad so that we could take it for a spin.





But the quad died on us on our way back. My chaplaincy skills are good, but not quite that good.



We spent some time with Andrea's family Sunday evening. Here her dad is making popcorn over a fire - my first experience of fire-popped pop corn. It was yummy!



On Monday Andrea and I made the 10 hour trek back to Indiana.




The beautiful but long trip back.



"Wild and wonderful" - just like Alicia (according to Joanne).
