All my needs are met. Wow, it is so amazing how God always supplies
my needs, even in the little things, maybe not how and when we think they
should be supplied but always on time, God's time. Hey, it is His show anyway so best thing is
to adjust and it always works out perfectly, in our best interest! (I really don't ever know what that is
anyway, unless I'm listening to the Holy Spirit.)
Did I tell you I would not
tell you what I was going to do, because things change? Well, things changed. I spent all day cleaning and preparing for
the travel. There was urgency, and I
looked at the weather and realized that they said it would rain on Thursday. OK, I decided to leave on Wednesday
instead. I was able to get the Live
Stream of the Bible study Tuesday at 4:30
California time, it was great.
I was able to say all my good-byes to my adopted Grandchildren and my Actress
Sister, I will miss them, but may be back.
As I was unhooking, a couple
came by and we started a conversation.
GUESS WHAT? They own a bicycle
shop in Illinois! In March, they
are getting in ELECTRIC THREE WHEELED BICYCLES!!!! I never knew how to ride a regular bike, so I
had a 3 wheel bike at one time that was
OK but I couldn't go far and not on the hiway.
I was contemplating what to get, that I could ride to the store,
laundry, just riding around the RV park and still get exercise when I didn't
have a car. WAL-LAH!, here it is, I can peddle
when I want the exercise, and motor up hills, drive on the roads like a bike, it
will fit on a rack on the back of the RV, with a ramp, and when I do tow the
car, it fits on the back of the car. It
will go 10-12 miles on the battery. It looks like a regular bike with 2 wheels
in the back and a "trumk" in between that I can carry groceries in.
WOOPEE!
While I was preparing to
leave, I remembered to put the TV Antennae down, then the handle broke off while
it was still up. OK Lord, what do I
do? The sound technetium who came over
for Christmas dinner and fixed the TV, had just come back to the park and I
tried to see if he could help. He didn't
answer his door, so I went back to see what I could do. I was able to use a socket wrench screwdriver
and it came down so I could drive without hooking the Antennae on a tree or something. Praise the Lord! Trust God and all your needs will be
supplied!
I needed some more Shaklee
products and I found out that there is a Distribution Center in Cerritos, California, which is near the Fair grounds where I am now. It is a Center where you can call in an order
before 11
AM and pick it up the same
day. I placed the order and they didn't
have two of the products I ordered that I thought I was running out of. WAL-LAH, I found both of them, that I didn't
know I had. I picked up the products and
found out that a friend of mine runs the center (he was out) and that they are
having the January Shaklee Kick Off Meeting on Saturday. I will be able to see him then.
I followed my GPS to a Bank
of America (that was still open at 5:30 PM?)
so I could get cash to pay for the camping at the Fairgrounds. I checked into the Fair Grounds after
dark. It is $40 per night with full
hook-ups but I couldn't get the electric cord to work. The temperature was only 59 degrees so I wan
comfortable all night without heat. It
is raining and muddy now, thank God I was able to hook up last night (with the
help of two Angels). All my needs are
supplied.
I did have an interesting
happening. I had a utensil caddy sitting
on the counter behind the kitchen faucet.
It was on a rubber pad to keep it from sliding and tied down, to keep it
from falling while driving. Well I got
cut off and had to slam on the brakes and I heard this crash. Oh well, nothing I can do while driving on the
Freeway. When I stopped I saw what
happened. The caddy and its contents
fell on the floor in front of the side door. The tie down came loose (still haven't found
it) and it slid off the counter. I had
to wash everything and set it back up for riding (hopefully more secure this
time).
I talked to my Sister, who
had just gotten in on the plane from Eugene with a funny story. (Funny to me, she was laughing
after the fact). They drove 2 1/2 hours
to Eugene the night before so they could stay overnight in a
Hotel and be ready next morning for the flight, great weather, good drive,
OK. Next morning, they awoke to two
inches of snow in Eugene and it was Blizzard like conditions, still
snowing. All the way to the Airport, my
Sister was "backseat driving" (I can picture this), while her husband
is doing a great job of navigating the weather conditions.(Eugene is not used to
snow and are not equipped to remove it from the roads etc...) They were nearly the only ones in the airport
and her husband let her off at the door and went to park. She waited and waited, what seemed to her a
long time and finally sent one of the men at the Airport after him. He was just getting a cart in the parking lot
to walk back with, he was fine. They
de-iced the plane and took off. When
they landed, they could only find one wheelchair, eventually found another one
and the attendant was pushing both of them (They are in their 80's) up a
ramp. Her husband got his foot caught on
the carpet and fell out of the chair. Several people were hovering around to
help and picked him up and got him in the chair again. He was OK and my Sister was a nervous wreck,
shaking and not sure what to do, to get out of her chair to help or what? I was cracking up while she was telling me,
but all was well and they were at their "house" (a house across the
street from the Bride's family, at their neighbors that rent out their
bedrooms, like a Bed & Breakfast) getting ready to go to dinner with the
Bride's parents. All is well.
