Driving Videos

Okay, I had to enlist Daryl's help on getting videos to post to our blog, and I still don't have it down quite as well as he does... but here are the promised videos of our driving experiences yesterday. In one, you can really see the hood bouncing around, trying to break free from it's rope tie-downs! These roads are actually not uncommon at all for us to encounter on our drives to the remote clinics we find ourselves doing. No wonder the Fickers have been praying for a plane for so long!

Thanks to God's angels and the Fickers though (Who we are actually quite convinced are one and the same...), we are up and running safely for another day today! No clinic scheduled for today, so we'll spend the day playing a little "catch-up" and cleaning up and re-organizing the place (again... but all of the supplies that the Wichita Falls team so generously left us are still literally in piles on both of our couches!)

It's 55.8 degrees here currently (just before 8 a.m.)... just thought I'd throw that in there for any of you who are currently sweltering in The States and might otherwise need a little extra incentive to come check it out down here! :-)

Anyway, hope the links to the videos work out OK... Enjoy! (We'll try to figure out how to put the actual videos on here in a more convenient way later)

OH, my! My stomach is jumping right along with the ride. Dramamine, please.

"Please, drive carefully!" same words from Mom for the past 16 years.

Love you both, Mom and Dad

Hi guys. I have to say that I, too, got a bit dizzy watching that first video. As you're approaching the water in one of the videos I was thinking, why are they driving into that lake? Oh, that's the road! The updates are fun to read, and you two are doing amazing things down there. God bless you both!

Hey, go to my blog. I posted your video on the page and tried to give details of how to do it. If my page is doing what you want yours to do, then just "cut and paste" the "EMBED" information (all of it) from the right-hand side of the youtube.com page into your "Edit Html" tab when you compose a new blog. You don't have to type anything to do the Html. Then, when you do the pasting, switch to the "Compose" tab and you can do whatever writing you want. You'll not see the video until you "publish." Until then, all you'll see is a "blank, white space with some icon in the corner" that makes it look like something didn't work right.

Best,
D.
