we are just outside grand island and will arrive in grand island on saturday. we traveled about 16 miles. I pushed a handcart and walked with the walkers. We had about 500 walkers today.

The weather is still bad and very windy. I am on tornado watch. I hope that I don't see one.

My brother is knitting a sweater. I think that he might get it finished.

We slept in a farmers house last night because of the weather. Our horse Louie is sick and we are using deans horse.
