I find that this past week this heat it wicked, but not as bad as the people in Haiti have it.  Having helped with the last mission trip our church did to Haiti, I learned that we have it good no matter what.  So while loading items in the RV during this heat I just try to thank God for everything that Haiti does not have.  The list is long and make my job here much easier when I realized how very blessed we are.  We found out today that the buyers have approval and closing is scheduled for the 7th of August.  Gary keeps stating that we are going to be homeless, and I guess it is true.  I like to think that we are just going to have our home on wheels.  Prayers, as always are much appreciated.  Love you all and stay cool.  Ra
 
Well Brutus arrived on the 13th, we had class all day in Shelby on the 14th & 15th, went to Akron for 5 stops to unload items out of the RV on the 16th.  The 17th brought my wonderful mother and sister cleaned Brutus from top to bottom and let me tell you it was filthy.  Those two make an awesome cleaning machine and can get the job done and then some.   Wednesday the 18th was spent in Columbus at appointments, moved some stuff into Brutus on the 19th & 20th and figured out that what I still have left at least 50% of it will have to be sold because there is not enough room.  Finally on the 21st our dear friends Gary Ferguson and the kids came to figure out how to get Gary's bed to work in the RV and  Denny & Tracy Hignite and the boys came over and I think we finally know where Gary's bed will go and how to make it happen.  Tracy had some great ideas on placement of a couple of items and her friendship to me over the years at church has been awesome.  She is one of those friends that you don't see all the time, but when you need them they are always willing.  Oh and Denny helped too.  LOL.  Love to you all and thanks again for coming over and checking things out and helping me figure out what to do next. 
 
We are so excited and the house is trashed.  Boxes and stuff are everywhere and "Brutus" will be here on Friday the 13th.  OK now you may think that is an unlucky day, but if you know me that is my favorite.  I absolutely love it when the 13th lands of a Friday so to be this is perfect!!!!  The lift will be in and Gary will be able to see the inside for the first time and I can't wait!!!  Yippeee!!!!  The closing on the house is still scheduled for the end of the month and we will be RVing as of the first of August for sure.  We will be here locally at least until late October then are heading to TX for six month.  More details coming soon.  Prayers as always are still very, very much appreciated.
 
Well in a nut shell, RV (Brutus) should be here the 12th or 13th, I am taking a CCW class 14th & 15th, up to storage unit in Stow on the 16th to remove 4-5 furniture items out of Brutus for Gary's hospital bed and EZ-Lock system, Thirty-One New Consultant Training on the 21st, close on the house sometime the week of the 23rd, into the Brutus and off to parts unknown by the last weekend of the month.   We literally do not know where we will be first.  The plan at this point it to stay in Ohio through late October and then we are heading to Texas for six month to finish our book, get our marketing package together and set up the tour.  We truly appreciate all of you who are on-board with us in prayer at this time and send our prayers right back to you each and every day.  Stay tuned, things are moving fast and if you blink you might miss us.  Love to you all and God Bless,  Ra
