We went to our Spanish language special meeting last night at Geily and Ruby Gomez’ home. We had an absolutely wonderful time. We met and talked to Rhonda Stidolph for the first time. She gave us a great picture of her and her brother Lowell shortly before he died. We have really loved going to that meeting and getting to know Jose and Conchita, Geily and Ruby, Jesse and Alfredo, and all the others. We will miss them very, very much. We hope that some of them come on up to Oregon to visit us soon.
We will start packing our things away today to get ready to make the drive to Oregon. Lorena got a bunch of plastic boxes with lids to preven stuff from getting wet. I got a GPS navigation system and a pair of walkie-talkies to make the trip a little easier. I think we will wait until Saturday to start putting stuff in the car, but I will try to help with the packing tonight. I also need to get a tarp and some hold-downs to cover stuff and keep it in place in the pickup on the way back.
