Week One

We left home on schedule Wednesday morning. 3.5 days later we are in Portland, Oregon. The 5er full of building materials is heavy. I rolled across a scale in Oregon and we weighed in at 22,900 lbs.. That's a lot of weight for the little Dodge diesel to pull up mountains. I replaced the front brake pads in Brawley's driveway Saturday afternoon. Otherwise the drive to Alaska seems to be normal. We hope to cross into Canada next Wednesday morning. I'm hoping we don't have too much hassle getting through customs. Something to pray about. But for now we are wrestling with and spoiling grandkids. Jonah did a fabulous job in a piano recital today. Hard for me to realize he has only been taking lessons for one year. If Elisabeth posts the video of his number I want to watch it again! And again!
