What a difference a day can make

About 4 pm on Monday we got a call to go to the office and meet with the boss - Don. When we got there, he got right to the point and informed us that we were no longer employed at this RV park. We were not to report to work on Tuesday and needed to have packed up and left no later than the fifteenth of the month. We went home in complete shock.

We had some minimum things that needed to be done to the motor home and had to arrange time to make room in our storage unit so that things we would not need could be taken there and stored. That was quite a da,y since we needed to sort and rearrange and then do the same at the coach and then transport stuff to the unit. Friends helped us get our grill there, and we took the rest in several trips with our small car.

Finally this morning we completed the work on the coach, pulled in the slides, hooked up the trailer, and took off. We will stay here in Kerrville at another park for a month and figure out what to do next.

We know that we are not in charge of our life, but we sometimes wonder what God has in mind for us as this new page in our book is turned. Hopefull,y the month will give us enough quiet time to reflect and make new plans. The implementation we leave to Him above.

We just learned that our good friend Arthur, who had us help with his B & B several years ago up in Friday Harbor on San Juan Island in the Puget Sound of Washington just now learned that his brother Donn has pancreatic cancer. His brother is about 80 and has always watched what he eats and taken good care of his body. This a a real blow to the whole family. Arthur wants us to come back and perhaps help out until the B & B gets sold. So we have one idea already to consider. Happy travels.
