Characters

Summary

Brandy & Phil go down with John to Decatur to help move him & his family up to Spearfish Lake - one vehicle going to there and three coming back. Candice has the house reasonably packed already, so that the move doesn't take too long - just load appliances and lots of boxes onto the truck. John and Candice are looking forward to leaving Decatur, as they had never really felt a part of a community there. It takes until after midnight to get back to Spearfish Lake where they park the truck and plug the freezer in and go to bed. The next morning - sunday - everybody lends a hand to move things from the truck into the house.

Josh tells everyone that they are having a house built on their lot, so they will be able to move out of the trailer that they've been living in. Candice decides to have the house warming party to the following Saturday.

Josh is rung up by Bud, to see how things are at the C&SL. Bud wants to stay away for another couple of weeks. Josh tells Bud how he's training Stormy Rumsey up as a brakeman. Bud is pleased that Josh is finally starting to deal with such administrative problems as he wants Josh to be able to take over the operation of the C&SL from him.
