Finished at New Hope School in Grants Pass

Hi everyone. We finished our project at Grants Pass OR yesterday. Today, we were getting ready to hit the road on Monday morning. R & V had truck serviced and did some shopping. B & C were rather lazy--did some baking and sorting tools and needle work.

R & B mowed the camping area--each had a riding mower so didn't take too long. This evening Steve from the school opened up the observatory for us. It was a little cloudy but we got a good
view of the moon and Saturn. Most of the stars were rather blurry. Lots of fun.

Rain is predicted for tomorrow but should be able to continue packing things up.

It has been very cool this week--highs in the low 50's and frost at night. It's colder than MN. Next week is suppose to warm up--great after we leave.

Thanks JC for the card. It was Grandma and Grandpa's day brightener. We love you very much and miss you.

We will be stopping in Washington to visit--two SOWER couples and Pastor Eric J (in Yakima).

Pray that we have safe travels to Alaska--we start our Alaska project on June 4th. We may stop at a SOWER project in BC maybe even work a little depending on time available.

Will post more picture later. Bye, nlsower

You're all looking great; volunteering must be good for the health. Had a Habitat for Humanities meeting in Spicer this morning so maybe your skills can be used in Kandiyohi County too!! Chris Erickson had a super fun recital at church this afternoon with a big turnout. Ev. Cov. is alive and well, and we wish you a safe trip to Alaska.
