We are in KANSAS!!!! YEA! Made it to Kansas City last night about 8:30 p.m. Didn't get out of Rochester until 2:00 p.m. As we were coming out of Gonda building elevator, the piano player was playing "Somewhere over the Rainbow" and I thought what a great song to end our Mayo journey on. It gave me goose bumps and I thought it was a great send off....We clicked our ruby red slippers and followed the Yellow Brick road and it brought us to Kansas. We slept in a king size pillow top bed and slept like babies last night and then got to Augusta, Ks about noon today. Will spend the night at Ryan and Melissa's home and then on to Home Sweet Home!Renissa took the afternoon off so we could spend some time with them as they have baseball tourney in Oklahoma over the weekend and will be leaving in the morning. The grandkids were glad to see us and we got lots of hugs and kisses which we needed. After Papa gets up from his nap Nolan wants to take him bowling.It's great being here but we miss our wonderful friends from Hope Lodge. They have called to check on us several times. We were like one big family. Great friendships were formed. Seems strange not to have clinic appt schedules to keep. After six weeks of doing that it becomes routine.Anxious to see everyone when we get home. Hopefully we will be home Saturday sometime.Love and prayers, Robert and Roxie

About Me
- Jill Berning
- Welcome to my blog! My name is Jill and I am a Western Kansas farm wife and mother of two now four children, both of our children married in 2015. We grow wheat, corn, milo, soybeans, and feed. We also have 200 cows and 10 bulls. On top of being a farm wife I also work a full time job at a feed yard. I love being a mom, mother in law, cooking, baking, canning, photography, sewing and crafting. Even though our lives are extremely busy I would not trade a moment for anything else.
Hey Papa I am doing great! Dont worry about me! Love-Rowdy

Hurrah!!!! No place like home. Just in time for the trees and flowers to bud out. We are still praying for both of to have good health. Hope your shingles are gone by now. Let us hear how things go when you get there. Love Hermaine
WE ARE AT HOME!!!! Need I say more? There is no place like home sweet home.
Rob and Brecken were here to help us unload and Jill and Shae had put the furniture back in the living room after Jason cleaned the carpets and Carl painted so part of the house is fresh and clean..... Was so good to step inside and see that all of that was done. THANKS TO EVERYONE! We love you and it is so nice to have love and support at a time like this.
Robert went to pick up Rowdy. He was really missing him. I'm sure he will be excited to see Robert also.
Our bed will feel nice tonight and with a couple of days at home I should have everything unpacked and maybe back to part way normal if there is such a thing as normal?
What a journey we have had!
I will go back to work Tues or Wed.
I'll see how I feel.
Thanks again to everyone who took the journey with us through prayer, spirit, phone calls, email, gifts, and food. We appreciate it all and words can never express our gratitude. We love you all!!!!!!!!
Love and prayers, Robert & Roxie
What great news that our friends are home and we will still keep praying that everything goes good and being home is permanent.
Good health to both of you.
Earl and Lois Wiles.
