When Barb and her husband got up this morning they decided they would like to go have lunch on the Mississippi River so we went for a drive to Muscatine IA. It is an old town famous for making buttons in the early 1900's. We saw some beautiful old homes and went to the Mark Twain Overlook overlooking the Mississippi River towards Illinois. Notice on the board noted that Mark Twain observed some of the best sunrises and sunsets from this spot. We also took some pics of Barb and I trying to ride some bikes that were stationed around town.

Tonight we had a Celebration Service at New Life Community Chruch and they provided a spaghetti supper for us, Much appreciated and many thanks for their kindness and hospitalityTomorrow we have a 95 mile day. Phil Quist reported that he discovered a bridge is out on out route and has to plan around the detour tonight yet before our maps are handed out. As Phil says another alligator has bitten us and we need to adjust. Challenges keep coming and adjustments made. But isn't all of life like that. We have curves thrown our way and need to adjust. Its how we handle these challenges that determine our characters and whether they throw us for a loop and cause us anxiety or do we see these as opportunities to see where God might lead us in new ways. Everyone seems to be going with the flow right now and are handling the changes rather well. Hopefully our route tomorrow will still go well and we see some more or God's beautiful creation here in Iowa that we might not have seen on the old route. We shall see what God has in store tomorrow.
It is cool tonight and people are dressing warmly for a cool nights sleep.
Till tomorrow.
