My Dad and Ilse finally arrived yesterday. When they left Kansas City my Dad told Dave to drive ahead and let him go at his own pace. Dave and Ilse got to town around 5:30. Ilse was very upset that my Dad wasn't here when she first saw the house. She cried and said it was supposed to be a happy time. All she could think of was if he was safe. She said he had been acting so strang, she thought he might be getting alzheimers and she was afraid he would get lost. He never activated his cell phone, she said he tried but they didn't think it worked and he refused to try to learn how to use it. When he got close, he stopped at a Maid Rite to eat and rest. He had a woman who worked there make a call to Dave and Sue to let them know he was okay. I'm not sure what time he got into town, but it wasn't dark yet. He found his way to the house without calling to ask for directions. They both seem to really like the house.The dogs were't nearly as bad as I thought they would be. They all liked me right away. The dogs do need a good bath and brushing though. My Dad said when he gets rested up he wants to send his church a message on the www that they got here okay. He has a lot to learn. Doug says we can set him up with an extra mchsi account that we have, or gmail or hotmail.
