I have learned to save money for whatever needs taking care of when we get back home after the winter. This year it was the in-line water filter housing.

Home at last!
Last night, our motel room was so bad that after lights out Kader and I were still giggling about it! This morning…

I went to church this morning and asked for prayer for Mark’s last day on the road. All afternoon, Tucson seemed kind of antsy, like she knew he was supposed to be arriving today. Both of us were listening every time we heard a motorcycle. Finally, this evening after 5:30 we were outside waiting for what we knew had to come at any time, and we were rewarded with the sound of a motorcycle turning into the church parking lot. When Mark rounded the corner of the church, I squealed and skipped over to him with my arms open wide! Tucson ran to him too, but I beat her there!

By fall, it is completely overrun with everything from ferns and goldenrod to Queen Ann’s lace and a sort of locust tree (Robinia hispida) we can’t seem to get rid of. Today, I asked Mark to take a weed-whacker to the whole thing.

My last post was about Ashton applying for a job in Fish Creek. A whole series of events have happened since then.

I’m pooped! We got home and immediately had to move out of the RV so that there is room for Ashton to put clothes and food away. So much to do; so little time! That’s all for tonight.
While the cat’s away…
I just got some disheartening news from our neighbors across the street in Wisconsin. The snows are beginning to recede enough that they were able to take the key to our house that we left with them last fall and go inside to have a look around. Here are some pictures of what they found:

If I could have gotten down on my knees and kissed the ground when I got home, I would have. As it was, I kissed our address sign!
