Beautiful Spokane River Scenery
What a beautiful day! Before Darla leaves, Jason and Scarlet were able to take us to the beautiful Spokane River for a nice walk. The weather was pretty nice, although still a bit cold for me, but it was just a breathtaking view.
I have to say that I am completely taken by the countryside. I can't wait to see more of this lovely place.
The air and the water here are so clean!!! Not much comparison to the Muddy Mo that flows by Omaha. Absolutely gorgeous! What a beautiful way to spend our last few days with Darla before she heads out on her own adventure!

Spokane, Here We Are!
It is always good to have family together, and to see Jason and Darla together is always nice, since my two middle kids were pretty much always side-by-side as kids. For better or worse, they were homeschooled together - brother and sister, classmates, and partners in crime (not really).

Beautiful Montana
As my lease comes to end, I am faced with the challenge of where to move next. I really don't know where I should go, except that my health is always better in a small town environment. Low-income apartments in small towns are extremely hard to come by right now. So I have decided to accept the invitation of my son and his wife to stay with them for a while in Spokane to see how it goes.
Darla drove me out so that she can spend a little time with me and with Jason's family before she leaves on her own adventure as a missionary in Africa. It was a beautiful drive - absolutely breathtaking!
