Turning Lemons Into Lemonade
What do you do when you have 7 kids, lose your house, and lose your job? Most people would not be thinking about a bike ride. But Bill and Gloria Fox are not just anybody. Instead of letting their circumstances get them down, they gathered up their family and set out on a bike ride across the country from their hometown of Monterey, CA to Portland, Maine.
From their blog:
Bill and Gloria Fox and their seven children, aged 5 through 18, are embarking on an epic bicycle tour across the U.S., from Monterey, California to Portland, Maine this June. They are leaving their home, jobs, schools, and hectic lifestyle to experience together God’s grace and provision as they journey across the U.S. by bicycle.
They’re currently 90 days into their adventure, somewhere near Salem, Indiana. Drop by their blog to follow their story and offer a little encouragement.

Wow, what a story.
both my nephews think my bent is cool. one of them wants a bent of his own. so guess what i saw at the goodwill today? a schwinn stingray..4 inch rear tire..
that has got to be the first time i saw in your picture above, a kid with his bike loaded for touring.
this is so intuitive but so easily overlooked. i am too busy keeping lemons, lemons. but i’m glad someone has lemonade figured out.
