a frustrated blogger

I am so sorry I haven't been putting up new posts for you. The sea to sea satellite isn't working properly and for some reason (maybe I'm not computer literate enough I can't connect to the Lutheran church's wireless (they have been such a wonderful host to us today). Some of us attended the church across the road from where we are staying for the weekend in Freemont, Nebraska.
This will be a quick post as I am using Peter VN's computer. I'm doing well. I have done my first week and feel good I've accomplished six days of cycling, this being one of the longest kms. weeks of the tour. Who said there are no hills on this part of the journey. Did I say it was all downhill from Denver. Sorry I lied. Tomorrow we start out and will end up in Iowa. The most major concern of this trip is the heat. We have had mostly near or at 100 F temperatures every day. It'll be great to get some relief from the heat. Thank you so much for your encouraging comments. It really helps and thanks dear family for the wonderful album I look forward to reading every day. It truly keeps me connected with you all. I took pictures and hope to post them as soon as possible. I am trying not to get too stressed about the computer problem but will keep trying. Thanks for your prayers. It's 1 km. and one day at a time. Take care.

Hi Ma!

We are so happy that you made it through the first week. Sounds like a tough week. We are so proud of you and what you have accomplished so far. If possible you should read the book we made you in the morning instead of at night (at least for this week). We hope you have a good day today and we hope the weather gets a little cooler soon.

Take care of yourself and as always you are in our thoughts and prayers!

Go Mom Go!

We love you,
Char

p.s. David would like to say - "you are doing really good jobs - I love you because I really like it every time you bike up hills - I mean mountains".
