Christmas 2003

We plan to start 2004 without a house. We are not homeless, but we will be houseless. We simply don't plan to own a house for as long as the Lord allows. We want to travel in our motor home and have adopted the philosophy "Home Is Where You Park It." This past year we lived nine months on the road and fell in love with the freedom traveling provides.
We spent eight weeks in Whiting, New Jersey at America's Keswick this past summer. We loved meeting people from all over the country and enjoyed the privilege of meeting and working with the men in the Colony of Mercy, a wonderful program of addiction recovery. We plan to return to Keswick next summer and many summers to come.
Marilyn's greatest joy was getting to see her Uncle Fred and Aunt Belle and numerous cousins she had not seen in nearly forty years. We also managed to visit friends in nearly every state across the country. We put our mailing list in zip code order and checked the map and our mailing list to see who we would visit next. So if you didn't get a visit this year, get ready! Your turn will be coming soon!
Since we arrived back in Redlands on November 9, we have been busy sorting out our stuff and deciding what we would give, keep, sell, or throw out. What a job! We recently had a yard sale. What an experience. Our house is in escrow and we plan to be out of our house by January 3; then we will spend a month in Morro Bay and enjoy a marvelous view of the ocean.
