Back at Christmas time we mentioned how Aunt Tami and Uncle Rob gave us money for a treat on the road! We spent part of it yesterday when we enjoyed Dairy Queen, after a concert at a retirement home in White City. It was a nice time of refreshing afterwards, and we were able to share all of the stories of the conversations we had with the elderly.

The Redding conference was a blessing. The conference coordinator treated our family to burgers and fries from the famous In and Out Burger chain. That was the first time that we had In and Out Burgers, and they were great.
It was a highlight to be able to meet the homeschool father who has helped us so much by advising us of the California road conditions. We were also able to see some friends, whom we have known for a while, which was a special blessing.
The location for the conference was a tad unusual. It was held in a Christian college facility. Loading the books in took a little longer then usual simply because we were on the second floor, and we had to hand carry all of our materials. And because of the distance to tote our items, we didn’t do any music that night.
It was fascinating to see a scale model of the Tabernacle, which was on display in one of the rooms where the conference was held. We have just been reading about the Tabernacle in our family Bible time. We have discussed the different aspects of it, and amazingly the Lord provided a model for us to look at.
We had the privilege of parking in front of a family’s house, for the night. It was a perfect location to park and quiet. We were able to fill up with water, and we also had an electrical hookup too. The next morning we enjoyed playing with their little ones. The little two year old especially reminded me of Abigail.

Yesterday was a beautiful drive through mountains as we traveled from Redding, California, to White City, Oregon. The Wednesday evening church service went well and I believe a report will be forthcoming. Today has been a quiet day: rest, exercise, email, work, school, catching up on blogging, etc.

Thank you Jesse for washing the bus! It’s not an easy process (Uriah stands just short of 13 feet tall!), but it sure is nice to have done.
“Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean:
wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.”
(Psalms 51:7)
Music was a little interesting, first because the bass wasn’t ready so that was hurriedly prepared, and then Christopher’s mandolin and harmonicas were accidentally left in the bus which meant some last minute changes.
“My tongue shall speak of thy word: for all thy commandments are righteousness.†(Psalms 119:172)
