WHAT A TREAT!

Uncle Dub and Aunt Lou;  Sept 24, 2011

Saturday we took a road trip with Jerry and Vicki into the Boot Heel of Missouri.  Donnie, Sidney's cousin, took us on a drive to many places that Sidney spent time  during his childhood. 

The  Sikeston area sure is flat!  Miles and miles of flat farmland that at one time used to be a swamp.  It amazed me to realize that someone had the vision to drain the swampland and turn it into prime farmland.


Donnie showed us an area that used to be a plantation that worked slaves.  Such a terrible time in our nations history, isn't it?

Jerry, Uncle Dub, Sidney Jr.

As we were leaving to come home Jerry stopped by the MacDonalds in Sikeston so we could get something to drink before hitting the high-way and as we walked through the door there sat Sidneys favorite Uncle Dub and Aunt Lou with their three grown children.  What a treat it was to see them there.  We had a wonderful visit with them before leaving for Festus.   God arranged our visit with them and we are grateful!
