Internet!

No pictures for now. This is the first time since we left Wednesday morning that I've had access to the internet. We have to figure out what internet provider we will sign up for.

We made it safely to Washington Utah at about 12:30 AM on Friday morning. We did have one mishap. A half hour outside of Nampa ID for the night, one of the tires on the car trailer blew. We only heard a bang and I looked in the side mirror and saw smoke coming from the tire. We pulled over and called the Penske help line. Within 1/2 hour to 45 minutes the tow truck arrived. We took the car off the trailer and the tow guy took the trailer on his tow truck. Fred and I drove separately to the hotel for the night. In the morning we drove to Boise and picked up another car trailer. After the car was loaded, Fred noticed the lights weren't working. The truck connection was bad so we stayed there while the mechanic repaired it.  We stopped in Provo to take Corinne and the boys to McDonalds for a quick visit.

Friday morning we had members from our new ward arrive at 8:30 AM. It took two hours to unload the trailer. It was over 100 degrees. We are experiencing a heat wave (surprise). I have unpacked all the kitchen boxes I could find.

Scott arrived at 7:30 PM to help us. Today we returned the truck to the Penske dealer in Las Vegas. Now we are at Shannon's house visiting and playing with baby. It's 107 here. We will head back to St. George so we can get home before dark.

Tomorrow is church and visiting more with Scott. I have already changed my attitude about my new house. I had intended to make it picture perfect....but I'm going for comfort and what I am used to so I feel at home.

Pictures to follow. As Fred and I were driving out of Bremerton, we had not had a prayer yet. So, of course, it was my turn. That was the first moment I almost lost it. I was expressing gratitude for the adventure we were embarking upon, and then began to express my gratitude for our Bremerton Life.....couldn't get anything more out at that point. I had to close. I have to look forward and not behind. Letting go of our home of 31 years and our entire married life of 34 years in Bremerton I'm not ready to address.

It's great to be retired so far. We have no deadline!!! Oh and my neighbor saw my piano and asked if I played and I said yes. She was excited. She said the ward only has two pianist. So hopefully I will be able to serve somehow with music!
