1974 Toyota Landcruiser

 

With a big move day looming, my husband and oldest son have been diligently working on finishing up the restoration of our 1974 Toyota Landcruiser.  We had a deadline of June 10 to have it reliably running.  This is after everything being disassembled for all the work they did to it.  (that is a HUGE list and a post for another blog!)  It has not been running since June 2007. Today after some final tweaking the Toyota started right up and almost purred like a kitten.  We are sending it with an auto shipper out of our remote, rural Alaska headquarters to head across country, finally arriving in New Jersey waiting for us to pick it up after we arrive there sometime after July 21.  After all the work, we all want to ride in it.  Today it was nasty raining and the forecast is for more for the next few days. 

 

Sad Goodbyes

This is the camping rig of our dear friends, who have served alongside us , both in the military and in church, these last two years.  They headed out today, moving for Northern California. (I wish I was going !)  They have been RV parking in our driveway for a little over two weeks. 

My friend and I have enjoyed some great fellowship over the past two years.  We share many of the same interests.  She learned some new interests as well.  I taught her how to fish!  We also had some great cooking lessons in our kitchens~ Salmonberry Jam, Mexican, Chinese and many more.  She had a baby while she was here that she generously shared with me too!  I'll miss you dear sister in Christ!  Have a safe and blessed journey...
