It is late on Saturday Evening, we just finished a burger from the corner 76 gas station (which is fabulous) because we were both too wiped out to cook.  It has been a whirl wind of a week leading up to our departure for Indianapolis Indiana.  Our friends Abel and Vivian met us in Visalia California and we paired up to see the Sequoia national park, Yosemite, Napa, and downtown San Fransisco.  We put our feet in clear cold river water, drank delicious wine from FRANCIS FORD COPPOLA and saw the fog over the golden gate.

Because we have been so busy it had not set into my mind that we were actually leaving.  It didn't help that our friends were so pleasantly surprised at all the beauty and comfort here in Benicia California.  it made me think...why am I leaving again?  Juanita and David are just the most recent friends who hosted us a pig fat party here at our RV. ( Oh if you didnt know we are now living in a large coach Winnebago.)  David learned of this food treat from Russia where you roast over a open fire pig fat then grease up your bread and dig in! Delicious and fun. We were last week at Mark and Denise house eating hand made Italian pizzas!  tomorrow we are looking forward to being a guest for one last time at Crystal and Bens house for a going away party.  We have been so loved and cared for here, I am gong to miss my service partners and fellow foodies!

I have to pack to move...which is really funny to say as it really is just a matter of batten down the hatches and start the motor and hope Kevin doesn't hit the corners getting out of our little slot in the trailer park.  We had gotten rid of all our stuff like furniture etc and were down to one car and the RV.  Then we had the return of HARRY...the car that is half a car and half a truck.  We had sold it to my Dad but silly Nevada wont let it pass inspection even though it passes California and has a clean smog check.  Now that is the BIG stress is what to do with it. Oh well we hope the junk yard will take it.

So the main hope of this move is to do more in SERVICE actual door to door and Kevin might even have the circumstance to Regular Pioneer again.  It is his goal.  I am still off list and will be evaluating my energy to see what more I can do as well...no promises yet , smile.

So here we are, 2 days from driving across country to settle and live in Indianapolis.  Please keep us in your prayers...love Kathleen,
