Work on the river

Lowell and I were so excited we finally were able to see a barge being loaded. We were told they were loading soybeans on the barge from the Bunge elevator next to our park. I kept telling Lowell that's where they made bunge cords, but he didn't believe me. The end of the barge was clear out of the water. They loaded one section at a time.
Across the river at the same time they were using a big crane with a shovel and unloading a barge with limestone on it. We could see the dust rolling from both barges. The limestone was going in rail cars.
This was quite an experience for us as we had been wanting to see something like this done. We even went out in the rain to watch this.
Now we have to pack up to go home. I think this is all I have done since October is pack and unpack. We are leaving our motor home here and driving home in the car. Two reasons one the price of fuel and the other because of the terrible weather in OH. We are leaving it in the Lord's hands to watch over it.

We arrived home safely and glad to see everyone. We have a bed, stove, refrigerator 2 card tables, 8 chairs and one recliner. Tony didn' t take it yet. A small skillet and a small pan, lots of paperware and plastic forks and spoons. This way everybody feels sorry for us and invites us out to eat.

We pray that any of you that reads are blog will celebrate Christ's birth because that's what this wonderful season is all about.
Have a very Merry Christmas and a happy new year and we will see you back in LA.
