Home Again, Home Again

Day 33:

I spent a couple of hours visiting with my aunt. That's a picture of her at the top. She shared several stories of my grandparents that I hadn't heard before (they both died when my dad was just a kid). My grandfather was in the Drum & Fife Corp, and he played at President McKinley's inaugaration. Hmmm, that's word I've never written before. I hope I spelled it correctly. I'm sure Travis will let me know, lol. Anyway, lots of stories that were very interesting to me.

I left about 9:30, and decided to have brunch at Granzella's. It's been rebuilt after the fire, and looks exactly the same. I included a picture of it also. The food is still great, so if you've never been to Ganzella's in Williams Ca. give it a try.

I grabbed a pic of Mt. Shasta as I passed. It is still one of the most spectacular views of the whole trip. I stopped in Medford for a couple hours, then began the final leg of my journey. What a journey it's been! I saw incredible sights, met interesting people, saw dear old friends, experienced a myriad of new things, several natural disasters, encountered God in a way I never have before, and had the time of my life! I've never been so blessed by an experience. I haven't been able here to put into words all this trip has been.

I'm back in THE most beautiful place in this country. It's my favorite kind of day, cold & sunny. I've included some pics I took this morning. The majority of the people who live here, take it totally for granted. They don't know how blessed and spoiled they are.

Many thanks to my aunt Ruth and cousins Karen & Jenny, John & Melody Bailey, Mark & Sierra Middlebrooks, and Travis & Eva Lynn Lund for their incredible hospitality. Thanks to my family and friends for the many prayers lifted on my behalf over the past several weeks.

Big thanks to Kevin Rider & Jim Goodman for installing my beautiful new flooring while I was gone. It was great to come home to it. I've included pics of that too.

My biggest thanks to my God, and Savior Jesus Christ for delivering me from any fear or anxious thoughts that might have spoiled my trip, and for giving me great peace and joy like I've never experienced before. God is great!

I pray the same peace & joy, comfort, grace and mercy for each of you that God has bestowed upon me.

Be Blessed!
