On the Road to Chilliwack

Day 7 – Monday

Delivered!

 

 

We were crossing Snoqualmi Pass at daybreak.

 

 

Our first stop was the chapel at North Bend.  We were early, so knew there would not be a chaplain on duty. 

We had forgotten our passports, so had them over-nighted to the fuel desk at this TA Travel Center.

 

 

After days of brown, rocks, mountains, and snow, it was great to see springtime.

 

 

 

 

We haven’t seen this since leaving home either – lots of traffic.

 

 

More pretty scenery as we head toward the border.

 

 

 

 

I love this area of Washington – just south of the Canadian border.

 

 

Raspberries

 

 

Farms

 

 

Dairy

 

 

Eagles

 

 

It took us fifty minutes to cross into Canada.  PTL! 

The last time a chapel was delivered to Canada, it took three hours.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A hug from Chaplain Mike Foisy

 

 

The welcoming committee came out in the rain to greet us!

 

 

It was much drier on the inside of the old chapel.

 

 

Mike, Dave, Cerwin, and driver James, who came for fellowship.

We will spend the next week with Dave and Annie Giesbrecht

The view out their dining room window.  We will probably have a better view of the mountain tomorrow or Wednesday when it is supposed to be clear and sunny.

And just incase you wondered what I look like tonight…

 

It isn’t pretty!

It only hurts when I eat or talk – and those who know me, know that pain will not stop me from doing either of those.
