Mark and I basically stayed home and cleaned house today, but I do have something good to report. Last week I e-mailed a company that has been advertising for beet harvest help in October. Today we received a phone call from the company. The man who spoke to us on the phone asked us a few questions and said he’ll send us a couple applications! Continue reading
This morning, besides going to Mark’s church, we tried the church I remember going to with my relatives when I was a kid. It’s Sunrise Baptist Church. Continue reading
Mark and I were running a couple errands this afternoon when my cousin, Dan, called and asked if we could come and help move some furniture at a business across the street from his shop. We said yes. Continue reading
Mark and I have been carrying the camera around with us since Sunday, looking for pictures of the Lynden area. Lynden should hire us to be their tourism promoters! Continue reading
After spending a good part of the day today looking for work, which I won’t bore you with again, Mark and I drove back to our place along the bay. There was a bit of sunshine and the tide was out, so we stopped and Mark grabbed our camera and started shooting pictures. I stepped down onto the beach for a bit and looked for shells. While I was doing that, a brown seagull landed fairly close to me and stood there looking me over. I told him or her that I was safe and the seagull sat down just as comfortable as you please!

Mark and I continued with our job hunt today, in spite of it being Martin Luther King day. (By the way, Happy MLK Day!) Continue reading

I said, ‘Dad, it’s just the fashion!’ and he said, ‘I don’t care. They aren’t looking at the fashion.’ So I figured, he is my dad and I changed.” I haven’t heard that anywhere else we’ve been, not even in the Bible belt! Continue reading
For the past couple days we’ve been doing a lot of running around with not much to show for it. Continue reading
This morning my Aunt Marg came and picked me up and took me to her home for the day. Mark had called me last night and told me that my doctor’s office had left a message on his phone for me to call them. When I got to Marg’s house I called the clinic and they told me that lab results they had taken last week came back normal. I have been fighting an illness for several months and it seems I’m finally well! Continue reading
This morning, Mike from Mark’s church came over to get our resumes. He said he already knew of three truck driving jobs Mark could do if he had his CDL straightened out. Continue reading
