beginning to make plans

Rudee has started her radiation and we are spending our days on the far east side of Indianapolis. She has her first treatment shortly after 8am. She is done by 9 and then we find a place for breakfast and start killing time. We have ran some errands and went to a shopping mall and spent some time window shopping. The time goes by pretty quickly and at 2pm we are back at the hospital for her second treatment that lasts until around 3pm when we get to head back to the motor home. Only 3 more days of this and we'll be done! :-)

Yesterday we had a phone interview for another work camping job. The interview went really well and we were expecting a call back today with a possible offer. That call came in at 11:30 this morning and we accepted the positions! We are going to be working in Custer, South Dakota at the Crazy Horse Memorial! We are both excited to once again be headed to the Black Hills. We start on June 5th but can arrive as early as June 1st at the employee campground which is just up the road from our jobs. We are starting to get excited again and it feels great to actually start making travel plans! We are heading back on the road!! :-)

Several of you have emailed or called us with job leads and we just wanted to say thank you, thank you, thank you. We have not actually met a lot of you face to face but feel like we know you by reading your blogs and communicating over the internet. Your messages of healing, hope, faith and love have seen us through this turbulent time in our lives and I don't know how I can ever thank you all enough. One thing is for sure, you all have a chair and a shady spot to sit under our awning anytime you need it! I'll keep you posted.

  1. That should be a good job up there. Maybe you can help them blast away. Glad the treatments are about over.

      Blasting would be fun! But I think I will probably be on the "other" end of the horse with a shovel if you know what I mean. :-)

  2. Phil & Rudee,

    HORAY, that is great news. I know how great that feels to have it nailed down. And having it nailed down should do wonders for Rudee's recovery, you know positive attitude/vibes. You guys keep on pluggin' and we look forward to that spot under the awning for some R&R and hanging out. Can't wait to hear about Crazy Horse, Travel safe.
