Please Pray for Lucy
There is a lady named Lucy Thomas. I really admire her and her husband, JV. They love the Lord and love each other. Also, Lucy reads this blog faithfully everyday. This week, she was taken to the hospital to have emergency surgery because there was a mass on her brain. Please pray that Lucy will be okay. If you want more information, her daughter has begun a blog for her http://lucythomas.blogspot.com.

Day 2 in Hahira, GA
We had a good time yesterday. We went running yesterday morning and worked online some. Then, we grabbed some lunch and went with Teresa (some of you may have seen some of her comments) to a peach orchard. There, we bought some peaches, blueberries, and boiled peanuts. We also had some peach ice cream. It was yummy!
The show last night went well. Everyone seemed to have a good time at camp.
Now, we are going HOME. I'm so excited to be going home. I cannot remember being this tired in my whole life. Every chance that I get, I'm sleeping. Brock keeps falling asleep in the middle of the day in random chairs. One time, he was at a Brookstone store at the airport sitting in one of those massage chairs. I left him for 5 minutes, and the store clerk had to wake him up. He was gone...just sleeping right there in the store!

Show in Hahira, GA
The show last night was great! It was really fun. The church here was having a camp at their church. They have a brand new gym facility. The students are sleeping there and showering there. It looks like they are having a ball.
At night, they have a service in their sanctuary. Last night and tonight, we are doing the majority of the service. Also, they have invited people from the community to attend. The place was packed out last night. I hope that it packs out tonight!

4 States in One Day
We spent the entire day flying on Monday. We went to the airport in Fargo, ND (it's the closest one to Detroit Lakes, MN) that morning only to find out that we'd missed our flight. The time was wrong in my advancing stuff. So, we went back to the hotel to chill a while until the next plane left. Then, we grabbed some early lunch and got onto an early afternoon flight.
Then, we had a layover in Minneapolis, MN. There, we went to the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Shop. The first thing we did was to look for the chocolate toffee covered apple. We didn't see any in the case. Several girls were working there, so Brock went to ask if they were going to make any. Then, our friend poked her head up from behind the counter. She had saved three of them for us!
After that, we flew to Memphis, TN, and then, finally onto Fort Walton Beach, FL. I was so ready to be done with traveling. I didn't even want to take a cab back to our hotel and truck, but I knew that I had no choice.
Pray for us today. We drive to Georgia to do a show there tonight and tomorrow night.

Outdoor Show in Detroit Lakes, MN
We pulled it off in MN! We did an outdoor show with no cameras or lights. This is a very tall order. Magic is not supposed to be done outside with wind and such. Plus, people were surrounding the stage. Some people were leaning up against the backside of the stage.
However, we did it! We simply did very visual stuff that mostly entailed escapes and stunts. Those sort of things usually work very well outdoors. It was still tough, though. People's attention spans are even shorter outside. The audience in MN was great, though! I'm so pleased that we were able to do it.
The weather was actually very pleasant in MN. I didn't know what to expect. It got down into the 50's at night. During the day, it felt like spring weather, so it was perfect for a festival. It stayed light until 10pm. I wasn't expecting that!

Warren Barfield's Packing Skills
Warren Barfield was playing at the festival in Minnesota that we were at yesterday. He and his guitar player needed a ride back to the airport. Warren worked to get all of the gear into the trunk...
