FAMILY AND CRAZY ACTS OF KINDNESS
Pastor Herb & Sandy
As many of you might know, we are in San Antonio with our family. This is the first time we have had everybody together for 7 years. Lee Anne, her husband Gene, and their two boys, Shane (15), Shepherd (6), Amy, her husband Don, and their daughter Taylor (13) and son Evan (12) live in San Antonio. Sandy’s passport fiasco enabled us to use the airfare to fly Heath, Misti and their son Hagin (10) and their daughter Mia (1 ½) to join us here for the first week in January. Yes, we are having a blast; going to River Walk, seeing the Alamo, riding motorcycles, eating like there is no tomorrow, and watching Bowl games on Don’s 60 inch, yes 60 inch TV.
Here is the crazy acts. Driving to San Antonio from Plymouth is 22-24 hours of hard driving pulling two bikes and driving two vehicles. We wanted to deliver a truck to our friend Howard Hickman so Sandy drove the pickup and I drove the van with the bikes. OUR GIRLS, thought that was to much for us to drive. Lee Anne had air miles that were to expire by January 9 so they decide to fly and intercept us half way in Little Rock, Arkansas. We chose a hotel by the airport to meet Monday night. We settled in about 5 PM. They got in about 8. Everybody slept like babies and wow we were of at 8 in the morning. I rode, not drove, in the van. Amy drove with Sandy in Howard’s awesome truck.
When I felt sleepy, instead of fighting it, I said, ” Good night Lee Anne” and took a nap. WOW. Two crazy daughters, two free airline tickets and being chauffeured 12 hours to your vacation destiny.
Thank you girls. Thank you God for keeping our family together for these 44 years.

Gerald I’m riding about two hours a day. Just west and north of San Antonio about 30 miles is what they call the Hil Country, hills and winding roads. Oh yea, it is cool riding here. Lee Anne loves her bike and we been riding together. Amy Bright and Heath have been riding some also. Today we went to some Texas State Park in short sleeved shirts. LOVING IT.

Enjoy the family, the weather and the great riding areas. Wish I could ride with ya. But, since I can’t make Heath act as my surrogate, and have him bring a great big smile home on his face to testify of having a good ride!

Hi,
Sounds like you had a great trip down. Funny to know we were 4 hours from you guys. Too bad we couldn’t have gotten together. I am jealous that you get to ride!! Oh well it will be spring soon and then let’s go.
We miss you but glad you are having a blast!!
Told Sandy we have to take you “OLD GUYS” out for your 65th’s when you get back.
See you soon! Our Granddaughter wanted to hear you preach. She maybe gone before you get back. She leaves 1-27-09. Have a blessed Sunday.
