After considering what was important to us at this time in our lives, we concluded that we would move to our new home in Redding, no matter whether our Cottonwood house sold or not. It was time to get on with our lives.
Somehow we managed to get everything in the car and were on the road by 5 o’clock. The weather was beautiful, but got warmer and warmer as we got closer to Redding. We weren’t looking forward to the 104oF weather that was predicted. It was a beautiful clear day, however, giving us a spectacular view of Mount Shasta.
Shasta Lake was full of water.
By the time we finally arrived home in Cottonwood it was almost 5 o’clock. Surprisingly, the house wasn’t as hot as we thought it would be. Al got our MasterCool going, turned on the propane, lit the water heater, and started unloading the food into the freezers and refrigerators. Before long, we had the car unpacked and were ready for a glass of wine and a bite to eat. It had been a long day.
