An entry from the Crabb Family journal March 1995:

We just got home from our first "road trip" that took us down through Alabama and into Florida. It was Kelly's seventeenth birthday and we celebrated in high style. A small cake from Wal Mart and a couple of gifts from there. We were going to the Klondyke Center. They had a trailer on the grounds that we stayed in and showered. We didn't have to rent a room or get a truck stop shower. Praise God! The offerings have been small $100 one night, almost $200 another. We worked the Opry in Panama City for free, but sold really good....over $400! The kids got to go to the beach for a couple of hours. That was a treat. The old Buffalo (bus) has held up well....but how I wish we had some A/C in it. One day I made the kids get out and I hosed them off in a parking lot while Gerald got fuel....they didn't know it was coming and we had a water fight! We HAVE to have better transportation. It is very trying with no generator to power any TV, radio, or even GOOD lights at night. When we get a bus with A/C and a microwave...I will fall on my face and praise GOD!!! It is coming. All total, we have over $1,000 bring home from this trip. I am pleased. A couple of people had heard our songs on the radio...that is a good sign. Gerald says his goal is to have them sing along with every song (he has very lofty goals I think). I told him that would take lots of singles, and lots of airplay. We seem to be developing a few friends here and there. I am scared for the sake of these kids.....but I know what God said when HE made me the promise. I am going with that! Enough for now.

I first remember seeing you guys in Alabama singing with The Wilburns a year or so later - after the time of this article. Gerald, Kelly, and Jason did the singing - I remember seeing the twins there - all the kids were so cute. They have grown into fine young people - it has been a joy to see the progress. God Bless each of you and your families.
