Due to some unexpected family issues we have returned to Illinois. Our home on wheels is going to be grounded until further notice. We made a fast trip from Ajo, Az to Carlinville, Il. The last 800 miles we limped our home on wheels back home with a bent axle and you couldn’t put a piece of paper between the wheels. God protected and guided us home safely.
When return to below freezing temps reaching in the low double digits and hubby went to winterized our truck as it’s never been in these extreme temps to find oil in our coolant. Our truck had to be towed off to the truck hospital.
After several thousand dollars repair it returned home to 2 days having to be taken back as the digital dash board stopped working. With that fixed again on Friday our truck became sick again to a bad glow plug and had to be taken back to the truck hospital .. several hundreds dollars later we have it back and we are praying it’s the last of any more major repairs as right now we have much more coming out as we have coming in.
We got our home settled in and winterized for the extreme freezing temps and we made it through our first real test of living in our home with horrible cold temps. We are nice and warm and all cozy inside to have this the next day.
Yep, Illinois hasn’t experienced much of this but now that we are home .. Look out!! The poor rental car is buried.
I took these pictures from the door way as I’m not getting out in this weather and of course we’ve had snow several days since we’ve returned home. Our traveling days have been put on hold until further notice due to some family issues. Family comes first and so right now our priority is getting our family through the storm we are enduring at this time.
after one snow storm it wasn’t enough that we get another one
Roo isn’t sure she likes the snow or yet or not. She plays a bit and then is ready to return to the warmth of her home.
I’m still experiencing neck, shoulder pain radiating in my upper back and causing me headaches and going down my left arm, plus I’m having low back pain due to the climate. Our truck got to experience snow as well.
Please pray for our family that God gives us strength, health, guideness and protection to fight this battle ahead of us. I will try blog when I can but right now we are in the process of trying to put together a home in a stick/brick home.
