I correspond with a good friend who has also stayed in a motor home at the Cowboy RV Park in Pocatello, Idaho. In his last letter he referred to our accommodations as a “shoebox on wheels”. What an accurate description! While we’re getting pretty settled in, we’ve had to make quite a few trips to the storage unit to swap things out. We’ve pretty much decided on our schedule, however. We’ll be driving away from here on Friday, October 17th and make our way to Green River, Wyoming to spend the weekend with my favorite brother and his family. That weekend is their Stake Conference, which will be great for all of us. We enjoy Stake Conferences and this one is also a broadcast from Salt Lake, rumored to be presided over by Elder Bednar. That will be especially delightful.

I’ve got to get some inoculations … including Hepatitis A and B as well as a flu shot. Nina also needs her flu shot. She’s going to have her last craft class at the Pocatello Women/s Correctional Center on the 16th. We’re trying to get a couple of windows replaced in the motor home. We’ve got the motor cycle to finish getting sold (it’s sold pending a final checkup by the Kawasaki dealer’s service department). Nina and I need to make a visit to Nina’s cousin-in-law in Boise. There are a few other minor things. That’s what’s dictating the departure date. By then we should have everything where it belongs to make the break for the east coast.

Tomorrow and Sunday are General Conference of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Life is great!
