Finally on the road

Hi everyone.

We have had a rather hectic start for this season's SOWER trip. Snow, snow and more snow--I spent too much time blowing snow and not getting everything packed. It took two days to get the snow and ice off the slide outs on the camper plus there was about 20 inches of snow on the roof--next year the camper is going to be in the pole barn before any snow falls. Why not this year you may ask--I don't have the propane line run from the big tank to the pole barn yet. That will be next summer's project.

Sorting out what to take and what to leave home seemed like a never ending task. We thought we must be moving again--hauling tote after tote from Willmar to New London (where camper is parked). I can't believe how much stuff we bring for four months on the road.

To top things off, I went to blow snow one last time on the morning that we were to leave and stepped on some snow in the garage while pushing the snow blower. Slipped and fell on the blower--hit my chest on the shift lever--had to go to the doctor and have it x-rayed--just bruised nothing broken. But am I ever sore.

The roads have been good and truck is working well. We are about half way to Fl. It was misting and 34 degrees much of the afternoon. The ground has been snow covered all the way so far, but it is getting less and less.

Continue to pray for us. B and C
