Thank you to all who prayed for us to make it home safely. Your prayers were answered. We’re home! Let me tell you about our day…

From Twin Falls, ID
Today was a day of ups and downs, meaning that we went through a lot of mountains and hills, not the least of which was Cabbage Hill as soon as we left Pendleton. Mark was amazed that we climbed it at 40 mph today! Usually, he says, we can only go 30 or 35 mph. He doesn’t know what made the difference today.

Mark suggested I stay at Mom’s house last night, and then he would pick me up this morning to start heading home. Oh, the best laid plans of mice and men…

Thank you to everyone who has been sending me birthday wishes today! I haven’t written since Mark and I arrived at my mother’s house because I have been having trouble getting on the internet, so I’m using Mom’s computer tonight. I have pictures!

As the day wore on yesterday, the pain in my ankle got worse and worse, and the prescription painkillers the doctor had sent home with me weren’t touching the pain. I finally asked Mark to take me back to the ER.

There are a lot of LDS churches around here, as you might guess, and a handful of mainstream churches. I have looked at all of them online and wasn’t feeling very hopeful, but I was drawn to check out the Greek Orthodox Church here in Price, Hellenic Orthodox Church of the Assumption. I had once visited an Orthodox church in Los Gatos, CA, when we were Workamping there, and was intrigued.

This morning, there were some highs and lows. Mark was able to fix our plumbing situation, so we have water now. Yay! Then we planned to go out and look around some more, but when Mark turned the key in the car, nothing happened, not even a sound. Mark tested the battery, and it was fine, so he got out and rocked the car, and it started right up.

Mark and I have been watching Zillow for close to a year, so we sat down at lunchtime with a list of some houses here in Price that we thought we might be interested in. We were just going to drive past them and see what we thought of the neighborhoods. All the houses we looked at in downtown Price were disappointing. They looked small and crowded, and the neighborhoods weren’t very nice. We were about to decide we’d better look in other towns, but we decided to finish the list.

My church shares our building with another church called Trinity Reformed Church. Mark woke me up this morning and told me that Trinity was having an Ash Wednesday service. I jumped out of bed and got dressed and went in.

Yesterday, Mark went to the VA first thing in the morning to get his free hearing aids for tinnitus. Then he took me up to Hearing & Brain Centers of America in Paradise Valley to have mine adjusted. I have a new doctor who will be working with me now and he took my hearing aids to the second level. Wow!
