Yesterday morning, Pastor Adam came and prayed with us before we left. We’re making our trip north for spring; this is the first year I’ve been sad to leave Arizona. In past years, I have been working at Block Advisors, and by now, I would be a nervous wreck with tics and heavy sighs. This winter, I felt like I found my calling, and, as much as I enjoy my job at the Noble House, I don’t feel as fulfilled in Wisconsin as I have this winter.
I’m still trying to learn how to use my new Chromebook so I apologize for not writing since we left Tucson. I’ll see if I can catch you up.
Mark and I have come to Price to look around as a prospective place to move to next year. We’re talking about selling our house in Door County after this summer and buying a house in Price next year. This all came about because I started getting tired of Mark being gone sometimes for 2 or 3 nights last summer when BACA (Bikers Against Child Abuse) had a need for escorts for heroes (the kids) when they had court hearings last summer. I suggested that we move closer to Green Bay so that he could come home every night after court was over, and we started looking for places near Algoma, but then he up and decided he wanted to move to Utah, his birth state. He chose Price because there’s a BACA group here.
Unfortunately, when we pulled into our campsite for tonight, Mark discovered that there was a problem with our electric power. We’re sitting in the semi-dark as I write this so as not to use up our battery power. I’m thinking we may have to spend a little time at the local library to charge our devices, although Mark seems to have rigged something up that’s helping to charge my Chromebook as I’m writing this. I was afraid that this problem was going to preclude us being able to look around if Mark has to spend the whole time we’re here working on the electricity, but he says that no matter what, we will be doing some exploring here. When we checked in, the manager handed us a brochure about a 9-mile canyon drive we can drive if we have time, and I want to check out one or two churches on Sunday.
I think I’m beginning to get the knack of this Chromebook, so I’ll try to be more regular with my reports on this trip.
