Prayers Answered--Lots of Rain and Earlier Departure

Well, we are all moved out of the house now.  The packers and movers finished up around 1830 on Tuesday and the house is empty except for some cleaning supplies.  Today, we had the carpets cleaned and we will have the house cleaners in on Saturday.

The weather has warmed up and most of the snow has melted away.  We even hit 42 degrees recently and have had winds and rain that have cleared the roads.  The long term forecast is for it to get colder again in a few weeks, so we decided to check and see if we could get an earlier ferry out of Juneau.  We not only got car deck space for our long vehicle, but also a stateroom to Bellingham.  So we will be leaving in just five days--departing Juneau on Tuesday, December 6 at 0100.  With this warmer weather, we probably won't have to have chains on the pickup or trailer, so that is a real blessing.

We are looking forward to getting on the ferry in warmer weather and getting down to Oregon a bit earlier.  We will be very busy for the next several days, and will take the trailer and truck out to the ferry terminal on Monday late morning.  It is a bittersweet time for us--leaving the home we have loved since 1995 and also looking forward to the move to Oregon and new adventures there.

Thanks for visiting,

Neil and Pamela
