Tennessee

After the wedding, a few of us drove back to Tennessee

 with Deborah & Rebekah for a visit.  We will be here 

for the week.  They still have to work/ counsel, but 

it's fun to hang out around camp and see the 

different things they do here at the ranch. 

We had a fun trip from Wisconsin to Tennessee.  The nine
hour trip turned into twelve hours due to traffic and
Abby's "detours" to miss the toll booths. :)  We added
about three hours onto the trip, but bless
her heart we didn't pay a toll.

We listened to a few sermons on the way. 

Abby & Joanna were quite convicted and

 decided it was a "hankie wavin" moment. :)

We stopped at taco bell for a quick bite.  Joanna, like usual

had a question about every single thing on the menu.

(She usually takes about 15 minutes to look over the menu

only to order a soft taco. :)  She was asking this helpful

young man quite a few questions.  He did a good job of

acting patient.  He told her about this great "faller" burrito

they had.  Joanna (after looking over the menu

for a picture of this faller burrito) asked the man what a

faller burrito was.  The man looking quite disturbed

answered, "I said 5 layer burrito."  Joanna did all she could to

keep her composure and told the man she needed a few minutes

to think things over.  She walked into the bathroom laughing

so hard she was crying.  It's a good thing the man didn't

get too upset with her not understanding his "accent" or she

wouldn't be with us today.  He was HUGE!

We finally made it to the ranch about 1:00 am.

We did our best to keep quiet while unloading the car. :)

Deborah does a great job playing her violin, singing in 

different groups & signing for the deaf services.

Rebekah is counseling for a deaf group

that CJ & Sarah brought from New Jersey.

It's so fun having a few of the sisters together 

for the week.  It's like a mini family reunion.

If you look carefully you can see the water coming from the cup.

Tab meant it as a joke, but accidentally ended

 up getting Deborah quite wet. :)

We have to go around in disguise.  

We might get kicked out otherwise. :)

could this be why...? :)
