Heading out again.

41º F, Sunshine and cool, NNW wind 9 mph.

Good morning,

It is cool outside. 24º F in Crystal Falls at the moment. Suspect that would be called a frost? Frost/freeze warning/watches have been up for most of the area north and west of Green Bay last night and this morning. Good thing we don’t have any garden planted yet. Come to think of it, we may not have any this year either.

This will be short as we are heading up nort’ this morning. We need to wait for the bank to open and I need to refill my medications. I went to the storage unit and pretty much filled up the truck. Not as filled as last time. This load has a lot of furniture, rather than nice, neat, boxes pretty much the same size for most of the load. Loading went a bunch faster too. Lots of stuff that Margriet has not ever seen, so she should have a bit of fun with unpacking it.

Our new address is active (162 Section 6 Road, Crystal Falls, Michigan 49920). We don’t have the name on it yet, but the postman knows the address and we are there. Suppose we will get a lot of junk mail for a time. Phone, hopefully, will be working sometime on Saturday. Major project for this trip is to get some LP and water into the little house. I picked up a new shovel, so I have one less excuse not to have a 1' deep trench dug for the LP line. Hope the new line arrived at the house or we will take a ride to Amasa. We didn’t get a call from Betty last night, even left the computer off line too! Will give her another call this morning. Really hope to get the water on in the little house. Might have to get-by with a garden hose from the main house. Another project is to get the hot water working, either in the main house or the little house. Would be nice to take a shower.

The little house is a house of corners. It has many additions to the original building. Each addition added at least one small room - so many corners. The first picture is of the woodstove corner. The little stove keeps a fire going a very long time. The second picture is of the eating corner. Leo took a small kitchen table, cut it in half and fastened it to the wall. Works! The third picture is of the "office"/computer corner. You can see the wiring on the wall every-which-away. I have some work to do.

Time to get a-going.

In Christ My Saviour,
