Well I am counting down the hours till departure for my big adventure and getting ready for serving the widows and orphans in Nepal.
Saturday the 8th, my elderly but spunky travel companion and I, leave for the airport where we do NOT fly out but get a bus to Vancouver (3-4 hour trip) where we board the cruise ship. It will literaly be our home for the next 22 days cruising past Alaska, Korea, Russia, Japan and ending in Beijing!!!! I realize it is a hardship but someone has to do it. So come sail away with me!!!! (stow aways are only charged if caught!)
Meanwhile I'm up to my gills in suitcases and knitting needles as I sort the piles of wonderful items that have been so generously donated for the widows project. Yarn, paint, knitting needles, crochet hooks etc. have all come in! I even got the rock tumbler and the dremmel tools requested on the list so PTL everything listed has come in with the exception of the needed funds to purchase 5 sewing machines locally! 2 machines have been donated here and a kind man is rehabing them and making sure they are worthy of being shipped! We are also still in need of shipping funds to get them and another suitcase of supplies over there. If you have any contacts in the shipping industry that would do pro bono work for this small scale venture please email me at daretocareinc@yahoo.com !!!
Your thoughts (warm only please!) and prayers mean so much! Thanks and and I'll up date you in a few days!
Dawn

Look at you! You posted all by yourself! I am proud of you.
I will miss you while you are even further from "home" (Illinois). Have a wonderful time on your cruise. I am jealous.
And feel free to email me in the future for any computer/tech questions.
LOVE YOU!
Love you and saying prayers!
You GO, Dawn! Looking forward to updates from you. Love and prayers, Janet H.
