Denise here,

Enjoyed your update, Denise. So hope that your truck will not be as expensive as you anticipate. Anticipating your pictures. Stay safe and keep that lovely smile.
 

Denise, thanks for the update ... glad your doing so well and there are some pretty good perks to living in the hostel - free laundry, bath products, clothese, getting exercise. Great for you!
 
Got a minute down at the library before I take a big hike over through the Mingus Park, up the hill, and back down to the mission, I think 2 miles. It's gorgeous here today, but always about wearing layers, LOL, because of the wind.

Hi Holly, yes, a dormitory which is a hoot most of the time. We've have some wild ones, a few things stolen so yeah, we have to take care, but we laughed til we were sick last night;) I've found some great acquaintances, and some similar personalities. I know, omg, others of my kind out there, beware, LOL! On my family Holly, I'd rather tell that story another time. I am not hurting over it like I was because as I mentioned, it turned out to be a blessing to leave my sister's house:)

Well, one more thing to do online, then back to the "big house" lol, just in fun, we refer to it as that. They, for the most part, run a "good ship". I'm grateful;) denise:love_heart::eek:nthego:
 

So good to hear from you Denise! I have been off the forum for a while, but just came on today and saw your postings.It's always good to stay upbeat, but you make it look easy ( when of course it isn't.)Glad you were able to buy a tablet to keep in touch here, take care of yourself. Xx :yougogirl:
 
Denise, I am glad you found some friends to laugh and have fun with there.
Walking is such good exercise and you will feel the health benefits from the jaunts you take.
Looking forward to some pictures because you always find beautiful scenery.
Sending good wishes your way.
 
Sounds like things are going well. Freeze plugs suck!!!! Several hours of labor to replace a 30 cent part. If you have never seen on they resemble a bottle cap. They are simply tapped into a hole in the engine block. Once the tech gets the transmission out of the way it is a 5 minute job to repair. Unfortunatly you have to pay all that labor to simply access the plug

Yes, I had read a lot about it online trying to find a work around. I do have a well-respected man doing the job at his very, busy (good sign) shop;) so I will just hope for the best. I only wish cars were built by tech that want to help the car owner, not the mechanics, LOL!!

Thanks much Merlin;) It's just not so bad, and really been a blessing in many ways. I have a ton of photos from yesterday and am heading to the library as my hotspot is only 1GB so I don't download much, nothing really. 1 GB will display a lot of pages though so surely last a month and only 15 bucks each month;)
I want to put up pics when I get back;) See ya'll , have a great day!! Denise
 
Enjoy the lemonade Denise!

Hi, Denise - nice to hear from you. Sounds like you're taking everything in stride and doing just fine. Please continue to keep us posted! :)
 
Hey Denise, I wish you luck in your new circumstance. I have been offline for quite some time so didn't know about your move until this thread. Oh I do so wish you the best my dear! Please keep us up to date.

You guys are all great, so glad to see your replies. I am so busy I hardly have enough energy left to get on, but I will, like this a.m.

Especially for Dame's request, but for all of my buddies here, I'll tell an average day for me. Also, again, if I did mention it already, this has been the best thing that could have happened to me:) Even my truck going belly up with a blown freeze plug, which most of you know is a good sum of dough. It's in the shop, and if I weren't staying at the mission for free I could no way get my truck fixed;) More on that later;)

We are awake at 6 but don't have to get up and out until 9. We do have to attend a 10 min. devotional at 8:) which I like very much. We have real mattresses by the way, some are very new. We all chip in to clean (well, most of us) and it's very clean and disinfected. We are served good meals, with protein, fruit, vegies every day. I buy extra things I need like nuts and seeds, eggs.

I volunteer to do a "large" amount of laundry each Thursday I wasn't sure I could handle, but I like doing it, nice commercial machines, plus, I get to wash my own clothing here, where no one gets to do that unless they volunteer. We do cleanup after every meal we eat at the mission and it's a breeze, since I learned "how to" ;) They are careful, and we date the food, things like that;) Lots of clothing for folks in need, bathroom/shower supplies galore. I don't have to do the regular "clean the house" chores at 4 when I do laundry. I like the changes in schedule once in awhile;) In by 9 (in the building) lights out at 10 but if you have a reader or tiny flashlight, you can read as long as you want.

Oh, somewhere in there I do shower, LOL!! I walk probably 4 miles at least a day since the truck broke, blessing also:) Building muscle, shedding fat yeehaw, LOL:) More later on a true blessing that happened yesterday!! You'll have to tune in later to hear about it;) hugs to all, Denise:love_heart:

PS if you have questions, please feel free to ask, I feel I am here for a good reason;) Also, as soon as I can get the photos off my cell camera, I will show you those;)hope they turn out;)

I have to say Denise, this doesn't sound at all like someone living in a homeless shelter. Not at all. You have the greatest spirit in the world! You make it sound like an adventure that you're on. And getting off your bum and moving is soooo good for you! That will be a habit you must continue once you've gotten resettled in your own little cozy 'humble abode' right?

Lot's of fun hearing from you and we wish you all the luck in the world, finding that perfect little nest! Love you dear!
 
Click on her profile page, it shows she visited here two days ago on June 11th. Hopefully she was just to busy to post, or had limited computer use.
 
I'm down the mountain today (staying upriver 30 miles, wow, lovely) at the library and getting groceries/gas etc in Port Orford. Have a few pics, hope they turned out. I'll attach;) Will someone tell Daddy Jim that I phoned home, LOL!! hugs to all;) Denise

PS I'm camping until the 24th, forget if I told anyone;) Here are the photos of Elk River Oregon.also from Port Orford.JPG
