From Tulare, CA
We waited around the RV park in Redding till the office opened at 8:00 this morning. They were serving continental breakfast. I was really touched by something I witnessed there. Continue reading
From Mountain Gate, CA
Mark and I set the alarm and got up at 6:15 this morning. By 7:00 we had said our goodbyes to my sister and her husband and we went two different directions. Mark went to dump the tanks on the RV and I did a little bit of grocery shopping. We met at Reedwood Friends Church where we’d left our tow dolly and got the car loaded onto it. We left at 9:00.

Reassessing our needs
My brother-in-law loaned us his truck today so that we could take some things they were storing for us to our storage unit. We took the opportunity to again give thought to what we need to have with us and what we want to keep in storage. Continue reading
Tax time and other business
We went to see our CPA today. He was a little surprised by the thickness of the file we brought with us. We’ve got some strikes against us, but they are hopefully balanced out by thousands of dollars-worth of donations we made as we were paring down from our house to our RV. I told our accountant we’ve had a complicated year, but he was pleased to see that we had records of just about everything. Continue reading
From Mt. Shasta, CA
We got up early this morning and Mark unhooked the water and electric we had been using at the Los Gatos Rod & Gun Club. Our biggest concern about today was getting down off the mountain. We had decided that Mark would drive the RV down with the tow dolly, and I would follow in the car. Mark took it very slowly, and several times we had to pull over to let traffic go by. The cats were in their carriers for this part of the trip. Continue reading
Last day in Los Gatos
Today there was still a little to be done to prepare for leaving, but we took some time off to do something fun. Continue reading
God answers prayer!
Confession time: Mark and I have been running out of food. We’ve been gratefully accepting invitations to eat out in the last week to stretch our food. Several days ago we ran out of meat. We’re out of fruit, vegetables, milk, bread. The cats ran out of food yesteday and we had $7.51 in coins that we took to Safeway to buy them food. We were $.31 short (we never know how to figure sales tax here) and a woman behind us paid it. She said she’s been there before. We’ve been praying blessings on her ever since. Continue reading
The birds
We woke up this morning to the sound of birds singing. “So what?” you may be wondering. In the whole time we’ve been here, we’ve never heard birds particularly sing the sun up. Continue reading
Blest be the tie that binds
Mark and I attended Saratoga Federated Church this morning. The final hymn was Blest Be the Tie That Binds and the final verse especially spoke to me:
When we asunder part, It gives us inward pain; But we shall still be joined in heart, And hope to meet again. Continue reading
