A Slower Pace

We’re now headed on our way to Kentucky. I have the Suburban air conditioning on. I am sweating from all the last minute work on the house. December just isn’t supposed to be 83F degrees. As I said before, I think this is California’s way of sticking it to us. I am gonna look at it as a gift…..as a nice path of good or at least tolerable weather all the way to Kentucky.

The last two days have been a blur. I remember something about boxes all around and movers coming and now — poof — we’re in a motel on the road. Luckily the pets are all able to stay in our room and we have internet access. We hit the road early tomorrow to make some decent progress to our goal: our family arriving safely at our new home.

Thank you all for your prayers. I even had a neighbor come by today to say a prayer with me — a very cool parting gift indeed. As the holidays arrive, I offer my prayers to you in return for a safe, joyous and rejuvenating season that focuses on the reason for the season.

Until my next internet access,

And a big thank you to everyone who has helped us out during our last moments here. Thank you for the visits, thank you for the gifts of remembrance and, especially, thank you for your prayers.

And thank you, Dad, for helping me late last night!

Today is our departure day. I didn’t sleep as long (or as well as you would in your own bed) but we still have some loose ends to wrap up before we head out. We are leaving a day early to get a jump on the driving. Our hope is to make it to the California border this evening.

This will be an interesting week. So far the weather looks ok for travelling. I also don’t know what internet access will be like so this might be my last post for a couple of days. To keep things interesting, I have replaced this week’s days of the week with states. Instead of Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday we will have Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, Tennessee and Kentucky.

I hope to talk with ya before Kentucky (Thursday).
