Linda, that's a lovely idea about praying together. I wonder how it could work with me being in a wildly different time zone though. It would take some organising. Yes, we are going away in two weeks for our shakedown trip. We need to get a few things adjusted first. We need a particular hitch pin installed on the car to run some of the electrics, they need to install a second fan we ordered, a broken water filter bracket needs to be fixed, and we will then pack it with food and clothing. We got almost all of the permanent items put away yesterday - the crockery, cutlery, linen, bathroom and other kitchen items like the coffee maker are in. I didn't put my pots and pans away as the workers have to get into that cupboard to fix the water filter. We also got the dogs used to being inside!
Marilyn, Tozer is a favourite author of mine too. (I also love Spurgeon). Tozer has such wisdom on prayer...
Judith, I think you are right about our van! We are excited about going away in it. We have plans for more trips this year. Our daughter just bought a house and has room for us on the front lawn so we are going up there at some stage. We're organising a longer trip to Tasmania with friends and will possibly stay three months there. Col wants to go back to Western Australia too. That will probably happen next year. We're conscious of going while we still have the health and fitness tondo so. We don't know how much longer we'll be able to travel. Colin already has do many medical appointments and specialists. Last time we went on a 15 month journey and we're able to catch up with appointments and tests in the major cities though, so maybe we can do this for another few years.
I will have a wifi dongle with me and we plan to install our own wifi aerial on the van. It worked pretty well for us in our last van, so except for really remote areas we should still be able to have Internet access.0 -

Good Morning
I really like the idea of setting up a Zoom call or even FaceBook Messenger Video Room Call! I have my own Room via FaceBook Messenger Video and use this venue for my Ladies Bible Study! I would be happy to set this up for us so we could enjoy a weekly visit together. What I like about this venue is there is no time limit and it is free!
So who is interested? Perhaps we could set it up in September as right now we will be heading into Easter and Summer Vacations! Your Thoughts!
Blessings on your day and Sunday! 🤗🙏0 -
Judith - That would work great if you want to set up a meeting time for us. I might say that Tuesdays are really busy for me so that is not as good a time. I know we are all busy so if someone is on vacation, it could work that who ever is available could meet at the time we pick. Just my opinion but we could start it sooner than this Fall if others are interested. I am flexible with what works with everyone. I am excited to see what blessings can come out of us meeting together. 😍 We could share in miracles that happen in our lives and others we pray for. I guess I will need to comb my hair and dress nicely if you are all going to see me. LOL
I have volunteered to make the communtion bread to use at church so I need to practice it today. The recipe that I had before was to make a pie crust type dough and bake it in the oven. The recipe I was given is to make the dough and roll it out thin and fry it in a skillet. This is so we can tear off pieces like the disciples did when eating the passover when Jesus instituted what we call our commuion time nowdays.0 -
Judith, Linda, a chat room would be great. If I am on the road I might not be able to participate though as I will have limited data. It would be fun to try it and see what we think. Remember your summer is our winter! Lol! So starting earlier than September would be fine for me.
Marilyn, that's true about reframing change as developing new habits.
Have been to church this morning, to a friend's for lunch, and am about to go back to church for evening service.

After five tries I think I have the communtion bread to the consistancy I need. I also am making a carrot, pineapple and raison salad for the potluck after the service. The theme is food we had as a child. My mother made this salad and my husband's mother made a similar salad but used orange Jello in it also.
We had a good zoom church ser vice and we will soon be leaving to go to the service here in GJ.
Tomorrow I donate blood and am going to to a store that is closing down so there are big discounts going on. I hope to find a tortilla press. I think that will make things easier for the communion bread to keep it the consistant thickness.1 -
Marilyn, I need to look up spoons for you. There's an analogy about spoons and strength you might like.
Linda, I hope you find your tortilla press. I was wondering if the bread would be self leveling though? And could be flipped to fry on both sides? That would make it flatter too. I remember that salad you mentioned. My Mom used to make it too.
Music today. It's a bit cooler and wetter but still humid.1 -
Thanks for sharing, yes I look forward to coding with you via online video. Right now with our Bible Study I still wear a mask for now as with my face being such a mess from reacting to graphs and flaps due to excessive swelling and pooling and bubbling of skin and bandaging etc. in time this will change, I sometimes let my mask expose my nose to above upper lip, hope you are ok with that, and yes my hair will be combed and will have on decent clothes! Hehe!
I have mega appointments for April May and June so all being well can set up the video messaging for beginning of July. How is that for you Susan Marilyn and Linda?
Tomorrow in BC it’s Family Day a star day for everyone. My Grandkids are off school and will enjoy activities at local Parks and Community Centres. I have a Family friend visiting tomorrow and she is going to cut and style my hair, she is a retired hair stylist.
Have appointments rest of the week.
Linda hope you find the tortilla machine, that will be great to make your bread for communion!
Thanks Marilyn for your quotes! Blessings on your evening! Good Nite all 😴0 -

Amen Marilyn, the above quote is so true! Thanks for sharing!
Today here in BC it’s Family Day!
Family Day in Canada is celebrated every year on the third Monday of February to help, focus and strengthen ties and bring relatives together to celebrate the importance of Family!
So from my Home 🏡 to yours Happy Family Day! Hope you enjoy your day and week! 🤗0 -
I thought I had posted my note but it got lost somehow.
Happy Family Day to all Canadians. It is President's Day in the states. I think Family Day sounds like more fun.
Judith I would not feel uncomfortable if you wear a mask when we connect. When ever it is convenient for everyone works for me. I look forward to it!
I am going to borrow a press for making the tortillas. Susan you may be correct that they might self level.1 -
Happy Family Day! Happy President's Day! It's just another day here in Australia. The next holiday for us is April 25th, Anzac Day.
Marilyn, I agree, we have lost the ability to have robust discussion with differing opinions.
Judith, you do whatever you are comfortable bwith for our Zoom. July sounds good at this stage.
Linda, good idea to borrow a tortilla press first!
We went out to early lunch with friends, then to Physio/acupuncture for Colin, now we have towed the van from storage to be all hitched up to go to the repair shop early tomorrow morning. It's beast to hit j this one up! Yay!

Just checking in quickly to wish you all a good day. May the Lord bless and keep you all!
I have a busy day ahead so might check back in later 😊1 -
It is getting cloudy here wth snow showers and rain predicted tonight and tomorrow. We need to travel to get to the airport about an hour so I hope the roads will be OK. We save $100/ticket it we travel to the next larger city. If we went to Denver to fly out, it might be less expensive but we would have to travel over the mountain and there is 8 inches of snow predicted over there so I think traveling to Montrose is the better idea. We are packing tonight so we can leave early in the morning. I will try to get on here in the next few days if possible but I have not seen the conference schedule so I do not know how much free time we will have. I will get on enough to keep my streak but not promising anything more at this point. I will be thinking and praying for all of you though.2

Marilyn, safe travels and may your conference be amazing. Thank you for letting us know what is happening so we won't be concerned. Tha K you for praying.
Marilyn, I think there's a lot of wisdom in that quote.
Judith, I know you need rest today after hours at a clinic yesterday. Take care.
Yesterday was a busy day with domestic chores, music, church and grooming the dogs. Today I am cutting kits for a card class I am holding on Friday. Also we are going to pick up the van from the repairer this morning.1 -
We made it safely to Oklahoma but the first fight was very turbulant and scary. We had to have the plane de-iced before we could leave then flew out during the snow storm. The second flight was much better. Our Uber driver said I looked like his grandmother who lived to be 104. He did not say if I looked like her at 104 or younger. I was a little shocked to say the least but am assumming the best that it was when she was about my age.1

Thank you all for your understanding and many prayers. Yes, needed much rest today, just too much yesterday but know I will bounce back. God is Good!
Have a good night rest, see you all in the morning! Love and Hugs! 😴❤️🤗0 -
