Sometimes, when Missionaries bring their slide presentations to a close, they often choose to use as their last picture a Beautiful Sunset...Well, I thought of one better.....As I now "Officially" bring this Travel Blog to a close, I thought it
would be especially touching to use a picture of a Beautiful Sleepin'Beauty.....
Kim Wilkerson catchin' some Z's on our long flight home from ISRAEL.............

Howdy!!! Sure is GOOD to be HOME...Got in the house about 1:45am last nite...
Dilly was only semi-conscious, but she was glad to see her Bubba... I slept about
6 hrs., and was up about 8am... Got to have my coffee in my own chair and watch
FOX News... Haven't been out to the garden yet, but it looks OK... since June 1st
we've got 16'+ of rain... I'm keepin' my promise to Dilly to take her to McDonalds
for lunch... Sara, James, and Eli are flyin' back from Florida today...
The California Group didn't have as good a trip home as we Ohio folks did~
when they finally got to L.A. Airport (several hrs. after we got home) the fellow
that was 'spoze to meet them thought it was the next day... they eventually had to rent 2 vans for the 3+hr. ride home...Paul called this morning at 9:30am, and they were just then gittin' back to Fresno(9.5 hrs. after we got home...) So, we
want to say an EXTRA BIG WORD OF THANKS!!! to Ol'Richard & Moose for not
fergittin' us and bein' there to pick us up right on time...

Well~ We's back on American Soil~ PRAISE YE THE LORD!!!!!!
We'll be flyin' out of Newark/New York shortly for Columbus...
Hopefully, we'll be back to Saltair by Mid-Nite... It's been a L-O-N-G
Day... Dilly says she's gonna stay up till her Bubba gits home...
The Airlines managed to lose one of the Wilkerson's suitcases...but
hopefully it'll turn up... We had to bid farewell to our California
group~they're already on their way back to L.A.
....Signin' Off fer now... Bro.Bob

This is the Shrine of the Scroll at the JERUSALEM Museum, which houses many of the Dead Sea Scrolls... No pictures were permitted on the inside...

This is a scaled-down reconstruction of the Temple Mount complex...only the structure in the center is the Temple Proper...the rest is the Retaining Wall
which was built to expand Mt. Moriah...that is the Eastern Gate in front of the
Temple...This was how it would've looked in JESUS' day...
