My best friend and soul mate of 29 years believed in me and said it was OUR project from the start. He has the harder part - staying at home.
Jean Serviss was the FIRST person to pledge $100 to cover 1 kilometer. She believed I could do it immediately. Thanks Jean!
Diane, Lois, Denise, Darlene, Nancy, and Gwen. For the first time since April 23 we are back in Melfort. NO, the walk is not finished - nearly but not quite yet. With a month to go we have taken a day off, left the RV in Yorkton to get an oil change, and met Diane's husband there who drove us back home on Friday night. Thanks Carmen!
I write you my friends from the comfort of our new dwelling. After selling our home and having to move, Paul has found a lovely apartment (actually a fourplex) and made it into a welcoming home (with some help from Amie and Jon). It was a great encouragement and blessing to Diane and I when we were met at the border on Thursday, Aug 23 by two van loads of people who came to welcome us to our home province! These people drove 12 hours total to spend a couple of hours with us! Thank you! 
At the Saskatchewan border with friends from home!It was then that someone had mentioned that we should think about coming home for the weekend. After the seed thought was planted it sprouted very quickly and was full blown by the next day. So tomorrow we will be in church at Park Avenue Church and they have even given us some time to speak :) It will be a busy service with a baby dedication, as well as special guests from Teen Challenge who will be singing, giving their testimony and preaching too. The congregants will sure get their money's worth this Sunday!
Thanks for keeping up with the blog. I want to say a special thank you to Running Room for their kind and generous support. Please support them when you need any sports fittings.
We will be back on the road Monday morning walking our way from 10 k east of Wapella to Balgonie in the week. Regina will be on Monday next (Sept 03). Oh, just a note that we have decided to walk up the 11 and not WALK to Moose Jaw. We will be at the Sunningdale church on the 9th of Sept but will be driving there. This will save us a day and two thirds of walking time. Good decision! Thanks to Diane and Paul we are saved some steps - simply! ha xoxo denise

i am soo happy that you are being looked after by your church family.
You certainly deserve a break and some loving. This will be the first time you see where you are living. You will be energized for the rest of the walk. Just what you needed!! I don't meen to leave out diane . You are an excetional woman too. How many would give up half a year of their time? not many.You are to be congratulated .
Now you are in your home province
there will be more good people rallying around you and cheering you on to reach that goal.More generousity, more encouragement,
from the warm hearted prairie folks. This would be the hardest time if it were not for their love
The prayers are still being offered and God is still answering.
We can do nothing without Him.
Praise God for His bountiful love and mercy . Love Mom.
