Seven months to go...



Okay, the weekend is just about over and it's still hot. I have never seen such a hot summer in my life. Valda & I went to WV this weekend and visited some friends from Valda's earlier years. We saw Mr. & Mrs. Herb Eye who just celebrated their 64th anniversary. They live in a farmhouse on the farm where Mr. Eye was born. What a beautiful place they have. We had a great visit. Valda knew their daughter in Charlotte, NC when they were in their teens, and has kept in touch all these years.

The work is proceeding here in Roanoke. We both feel like we are treading water, just biding time till the walk starts. I have a feeling I'm going to get even more antsy as the start date gets closer. We are still contacting people about sponsorships. It is a painfully slow process. You can check out my new website for progress in this area. By the way, Chris got it up and running this past week, it is http://www.rickwalksamerica.com/. Click onto the site and see some of the cool things on it and especially the route map. Nothing else for now.

Hi Guys,
The pics of the farm are wonderful and inviting! Your "Walk" sounds just GREAT and so inviting...who knows what next years holds for us, right? It has been equally as hot here in Macon with the humidity a little less than Charleston! And that is a good thing!!!

Love Ya,
