We got a very sweet surprise this morning when we opened the world famous, Act!vated Storytellers website to listen to their new podcast this week, "The Most Beautiful Thing in The World." They posted this message about our family:
"Inspiration: A couple of weeks ago we presented the story of "The Apple Dumpling" and pointed out how it reminded us of the guy who swapped a red paperclip on craigslist.org for something bigger and better, until he got his dream - a house. Well a family of listeners heard the story and decided to try it for themselves! This family's goal is to live on the road like we do, but first they need a bus. So they decided to trade a little red matchbox bus for a real one! You can check their progress at A Bus 4 a Bus."
They also gave an awesome plug about our quest. To listen to their really neat folktale stories on podcast (no ipod needed) go to: http://www.activated-storytellers.com/

I still can't believe the kindness, compassion, and enthusiasm we are receiving. It has been so appreciated. Cliff told me to go ahead and sell our house so we can get some monkeys (creditors) off our backs. But he said then what?? Where will we live? I have faith it will all work out. It seems to be so far. Even if we have to live with family for a few months or in a tent at camp grounds near job sites on the road, we will manage. I don't see us putting our house on the market for a few more months. I have been slowly going thru our things and we have a few things that must be done to the inside before we can list it. I will skip making a house payment if I have to just to get those things done.
Yesterday I saw Karen L. and was able to thank her personally for the tub. We still plan to pick it up this weekend. I'm sure someone will swoop down to make a trade on it in the near future. Look for photos and a description of the tub by Sunday.
Thank you Act!vated Storytellers and everyone else for your kindness!! You are all unbelievable!!
All our love,
Heather and guys

Hey, Heather,
If you guys need any help with home repairs before listing, let us know. Michael has done a lot of drywall repair, painting, etc. We'd certainly love to help you - and we're free!! Also, there is a hotel in West Des Moines - Warren Terrace, I believe - that rents by the week or by the month. We lived there for almost 6 months when we first moved to the area 13 years ago. Something like that might offer you a temporary place to stay if your house sells quickly.

So cool Heather, I didn't know about your plans. Are you keeping both blogs up? We will send some good energy your way!
Okay, that was a duh question! This blog is just for the bartering, got it! It will be fun to follow!
I think what you want to do is awesome! What fun for you guys! I don't need a tub but you will be in my prayers.
