Stories Along The Way
This section will be mostly my journey updates. Eventually, I will add a whole section just for stories people have shared with me through this website.
Before Getting the Ashes
Just before I was removed from my home, I brought my mom's ashes somewhere safe. Now I will return to get the ashes to bring them where she wanted.
June 3-6
The trip has already had so many changes, including a car failure and a friend who has now lost her own mother. I have added a blog section for those interested to see how things are going. Tomorrow I will get my mom's ashes and several updates to the website are coming soon!! Thank you for caring about me :D
Getting the Ashes
June 7
What a long and busy day today. I made it as far as I intended to and stayed on time for my estimates, the whole day.
I managed to see 3 friends, made 5 stops and knitted only one cloth today. Though I knitted an extra one yesterday, knowing today would be like this.
Some friends had an incredible surprise for me, so now the trip will happen without fearing I'll be stuck.
My moms ashes are back with me now and I am already out of dishcloths. I packed the container with the box with my mom's ashes in it, with dishcloths I knitted, if you can believe it!!! So now there are 3 more discloths with no pictures, part of this collection. God knew right when I would need them, long before I did. I just put them in there to keep the box with my mom's ashes from falling around.
There is a strong probability I will have to move tonight because where I have parked is not my favourite place to have parked.
The trip is about 700kms each way. Could be done easily for me, in one day if my car would make it. Instead, if I cover 100kms each day, it will be an achievement. That said, I am also knitting as much as I can in between, too.
No internet tonight, so further updates won't happen until tomorrow.
Unbelievable levels of thank you to God and everyone who didn't discard me as I was made homeless. Especially my friends who were able to make sure I won't be stuck and stranded while I do this. Thank you <3

Today I started with an efficient plan... and then the day began. I had to get a few things and couldn't find anything I was looking for, drove around in circles and finally found the things I needed. Just about to top up the oil and fuel up, then knit until my hands won't let me anymore!!
