Winnebago to go...
Well the Winnebago is here, and the scrubbing has been intense, but it looks like a different camper…Tomorrow the kids leave for the day and the real moving in takes place and since the DMV isn’t open Monday, we’ll have two more days until our journey begins…I’m feeling better and better as we go, but Ron looks ready to pull out his hair…The poor man is working himself to the bone…What a feat he has turned out making this happen so fast, WOW…What a warrior, I am so honored to be going down south to help Katrina victims with such a wonderful person…I haven’t spoken to anyone from down there in about a week but our plans are still to head to Waveland to fill in and try to keep hot food going for those that can’t yet fix their own…But for now, It’s a challenge to decide what goes and what we leave behind, and lots of prayers that our journey is a good one…The car will be coming with us, so we will have a support vehicle, that is a great blessing…The local food pantry has also donated 8-5gallon buckets of dried goods, everything from bullion to hot chocolate, to sugar, to soup mix and bacon bits…That’s not a bad start…Things are looking good from this end, if I am to make a dent in the moving tomorrow then it should begin with a good nights sleep, we will post as we can of our journeys and adventures…May the Lord smile as we walk down his path and shelter my family from harm…
