July 11, 2007



Yesterday, we drove up to Teton National Park. It was about a 250 mile round trip from where we are camped, but was well worth the drive. We had never been there before and the mountains are spectacular. We went through Jackson, Wyoming and stopped for a while. It is a very touristy place and there were lots of people. We walked around town, visited the museum and ate lunch. An interesting note is that the town is named Jackson and the valley in which it resides is called Jackson Hole (originally, it was named Jackson's Hole, but was later changed to Jackson Hole).

Emily got a call yesterday telling her that her Uncle had passed away at 11:00am in Fort Worth. We managed to get her a flight out of the Jackson Hole Airport at 4:35 this afternoon. She will return on Tuesday the 17th. We were originally planning to leave here tomorrow, but I extended for a week.

Thank you for the beautiful pictures and the news. I am very sorry to hear about Jimmy.
He was a fine person, and very faithful to visit Mom when he and Nita were anywhere near Huntsville.
He will be greatly missed.

Praying for safe travel for Emily.
