Helping Amy P Find A Place To Rent

I've got my stuff all sorted and boxed, ready to move out to Mike and June Horner's home off Virginia St located one mile due east of the Lucas House. Move out hopefully will occur Saturday but planning to stay at the Lucas House until the 13th.

Amy P lost her lease and needs a place to stay. So, I borrowed Joe's truck and we spent the day looking for apartments in Denver and Aurora. But, alas, no luck. They are too expensive. But, the problem with Idaho Springs is that there is a severe shortage of housing . So, I spent the day today walking the streets looking for rental units of any and all kinds. Again, no luck. Amy will be sleeping on the streets if I can't find her a place soon!

In other news: meeting with Fr John Longcamp the Anglican priest from Dillon, CO who conducts Mass the second Sunday of each month at the Anglican Church located at Colorado Blvd and 13th Street in Idaho Springs. We plan on getting together tomorrow July 9 at the Frothy Cup Coffee Shop to discuss how our 2 congregations can cooperate in using this historic Anglican Church building. Pastor Craig Babcock and I took a tour of the church a couple of days ago to assess the feasibility of renting said building for our Sunday evening worship service.

Missed several meatloaf Wednesdays at the Blackwells due to the time I'm spending cleaning up and packing at the Lucas House. I will continue my attendance once I make the move to the Horner House.

I find myself getting itchy feet again wanting to get back on the road. I figure if I left real soon I could make it to the Pacific in 3-4 months right before Winter hits. But, I have the church to consider. It's in it's infancy and it needs it's Mama.

I asked Amy P if she wanted to join me on my anticipated walk to the Pacific...since she can't find a place to live. She'd be homeless no matter what anyway. Might as well walk across the country having the time of your life experiencing nature, testing yourself, camping out under the stars etc. She agreed! But, I think she's kidding.

Pics show me and Amy P on a hike, the Anglican Church and the Lucas House.

Who knows? Maybe Amy P and I will be hittin the road? We'll see!
