Joplin, Missouri - Very busy day...it's 11pm

Blog by iPhone, no WiFi. Did the Arch while Jim and Milz did courthouse that first heard the Dred Scott case. Then worship at Centenary Methodist downtown St. Louis built 1869. Photos at Busch stadium home of current World Series Champs. Six hour drive SW to Carthage. Where Kurt's cousin Kelly met us and gave a personal tour of her home church and Labrynth gardens...Grace Episcopal. Then she filled her SUV with prepared meals for us to have tonight and 4 breakfast! She joined us for dinner, after she settled us in a magnificent home loaned to us. Carthage is a local stone, the same as her church was made of also in 1869.Flowers are everywhere, leaves are half open and we are eager to start work early tomorrow. Staton
