Palm Sunday, April 10, 2022 had a Service for many Baptisms at New Hope Baptist Church in Wauchula. A friend from previous years that we had come to know at New Hope also returned for a Sunday of sharing during her short visit to the area She was interested in using her flying and plane mechanics abilities for missionary work. and left for this committment while we were up north for the past season. It was good to listen to her speak of her new missionary work for Flight Ministries.
New Hope had been looking for new pastors since before our locating about a mile down the road from our new home at SKP Resort. We liked the Interim retired pastor and hated to see him go. But I am sure he was anxious to continue into his retiremennt!! The new pastors have been good changes for the church though!!

It is time for Gary to be collecting his Art work from surrounding art communities so that he can take it with us as we return north for the summer season. He will be showing in Ohio and also New Brighton, PA while we are there.
It is now time for packing up and to pack away anything about on our lot that might fly away if there should be any huricanes in that area of Florida while we are gone.
Not quite ready to leave, when we were set back with my fall when climbing from the shower in the motorhome. It is quite far off the floor of the motorhome, but has never been a problem before in the 14 years that we have lived in it. ( After my fall, it became the storage place for many things while we traveled up the road. )

storage function for the
upcoming trip. |
I ended up going to the nearby hospital by Medical Transport for xray and a temporary wrap.
This was the third accident within the resort in just a couple weeks time. One 90 year old lady fell in her home and suffered broken bones in her neck and surgery to follow. A second lady nearer our age fell and had a bad break of her wrist when she left her home to deliver a basket of her famous cookies. She also had to go through surgery after we hit the road. Gary was warned by me that there was to be no siren used!! There'd been enough excitement in the park!!
Needless to say we did not attend the park's Easter Dinner. I was not on crutches yet!!.Gary picked up carry-out from the Clubhouse for us. But we missed being able to say our good-byes for the season!! Close friends nearby did stop by and Marsha stayed with me one day the next week while Gary had to go to his foot doctor. I so enjoyed these visits!! Thanks friends!!
We were able to leave as planned on Friday, April 22nd early enough to make it to Walk About RV Park in the very southern part of Georgia.
And we arrived in Alliance, Ohio about noon on Monday, April 25th!! The motorhome went into a garage in Alliance for some major repairs before setting up our home for the summer.
Stay tuned and I will start to update you on our visit in Ohio.
