shout your name into the wind....

this is it....our last drive of the trip....out to the farm.

driving across the country has been the most freeing feeling we've ever felt and now to end it and have our dreams come true is unfathomable.

don't listen to anyone that tells you you can't live your dreams. we're doing it.

life is beautiful and God is in everything.



be joyful!!!

penny and dave

show me what this thought is worth...

there are no words to describe what we've experienced in the last few days.

divine maybe.....

see for yourself:

we're in a lovely holiday inn tonight....so warm and comfy, a half hour from portland and 3 and a half hours from home!!! next sunday is the farmer's market meeting in eugene for all people who will be selling at it. needless to say, we are beyond excited about that.

there are so many people i wish we could share this experience with...so many people that we miss. we love you and love you even more now that we've seen a bigger sliver of god's vast creation...and seen you in it.

be well and be still,

penny

Halfway There

Wow, so much has happened since our last post.





Last night we stayed in Davenport, IA. Tonight we're in Sydney, NE!!! Its about 30 miles from Wyoming, which we're really excited to see in the day time.

Iowa was absolutely beautiful. The land was very humble, very flat and treeless. Patches on trees scattered themselves along the fields and houses were group around these trees. It was a very peaceful drive. We've taken a lot of pictures with out 35 mm, but won't be able to add them until we get the film developed. We listened to Johnny cash for the drive, as well as iron and wine, which made it feel like home.

But here's a good one:



Tomorrow is Wyoming, Utah and Idaho? Who knows....

Until then, be well and be still,

Penny

p.s.


We hit our 1,000 mile mark!!!

PEPPER SPRAY AND STUN GUNS - THIS EXIT!

hey everyone....this is dave here on my first post on the mustard & cress blog. i'm excited to say that this is our first post from the road. as of 10am today, we were on our way west. the sign above shows just how awesome upstate new york can be. after we hit buffalo, the weather began to get worse until we finally decided to chill for the night just inside ohio. we're at a days inn and boyd and percy are in here with us. below are some pics from our travels today....

1. boyd has been great in the car....he seems to be very comfortable sleeping in the backseat most of the day. he got pretty wild when we let him out though...

2. i love this picture the most......

3. at the rest areas, because we have a trailer (no matter how small) we have to park in the "trailer" spots which is basically the "trucker" spots. we think our car looks pretty silly in the midst of all the big rigs.
