Hi 👋 We're Val & Holland Redmill … living our Life Story as silver-haired Road Gypsies in our 5th wheel RV Home~40 months married & 60,000 miles traveled across America; covered in grace every Day & trying mightily not to lose our sanctification during the bad & ugly times. I post everywhere - about everything: and if what I post can help someone else, I'm glad for the experience. But from sunrise to sunset, we live our Life for US. Trusting Elohim every step of the way.
muslims will be at war with Israel until Yeshua comes back.
The muslim-infused war towards Israel began as soon as Israel was recognized world-wide as a legitimate Nation, following the nazi madness that did it's damndest to erase Jews from the face of the Earth.
I love reading the Books of Zachariah & Revelation (I don't find these Books to be "hard to understand" at all) … and I see the words in these Books being played out before our eyes today.
American middle & high schools, colleges, universities, civil & political seats of power, and communities have been infiltrated with muslim lies and outright hatred towards the Jews. Most of my life has been shadowed by muslims attacking Israel (since the late 1960's to today). What Americans are allowing to happen IN America TOWARDS Israel is shameful; America will not go unpunished for the evil they allow to breed. Lies breed insanity, and crazy thinking leads to misguided wars.
I stand with Israel - not just because I am a Jew, but I stand with Israel because Israel is under the protection of Almighty God: likewise all those that stand with Israel will also be under the protection of Almighty God.
I haven't posted anything since June 3rd, because everything in my life has gone sideways since then.
We had left the Long Beach-WA Peninsula the morning of May 30th, and secured an RV parking space at the Lewis River RV Park … where the present trouble started. Every time we get close to Kelso-WA, there is trouble: Holland's family and friends live in Kelso, and they are trouble (drinking, drugging, lying, cheating, and stealing: they are not nice people) - which causes trouble for us when Holland gets pulled (he doesn't have to be coaxed very hard) into the never-ending-chaos, and brings it home after his trips to Kelso.
So, now, I will be having nothing else to do with his family (friends were never an issue for me, as I never wanted to have anything to do with them - having met 2 of them and being chauvinistically dressed down by the shrimpy mouthy one that struts around like a preening neanderthal). I will no longer be enjoying a glass of red wine during my 24-hour Shabbat Rest because having alcohol in the house only adds fuel to the Kelso flames Holland vigorously fans. I have made it clear to Holland that there will be no more narcotics brought into the house - Holland needs rehab to break his Vicodin addiction … but he stubbornly refuses, claiming he is not addicted, while exhibiting all the characteristics of an addict - including spending time with addicted family and friends when we are in WA State, near Kelso; he angrily refuses to go to rehab or marriage counseling because he knows that he will be told that he needs to enter rehab and cut ties with addict connections (meaning cutting ties with family members and "friends"). We don't even agree on faith … Holland was born into and raised with a cult mentality that eerily resembles the Jim Jones religious cult (I did not know this about him until after we got back from Reno-NV; he had been very quiet in local fellowship, and put himself forward as a Christian man). He knew I was a Messianic Jew when we married because I was very open about myself … now my being a Jew is intolerable to him, and he accuses me of being a seventh day adventist - which I am NOT; but in his mind I am, and that settles the argument for him. I am a Christian: a full-on born again Christian Jew(aka Messianic Jew), and I have agreed to go to a Sunday Service with him … there is an Assembly of God fellowship up the street here in Woodland, but he will only consider vineyard "churches" in Longview-WA or Rainier-OR; knowing I will never set foot in those cultic environments where heresies, blasphemies, and outright occult activities are practiced: these religious activities are what he is familiar with, and he's not interested in anything else.
Holland is not - nor are any members of his family - Christian though they can quote Scripture - chapter and verse: and are actively involved in church activities (aka good deeds = salvation) locally, and nation-wide (and his "friends" are loose bullets when it comes to religion; anything and everything goes); he doesn't know what to do with a wife who is 100% Christian in thought, act, and deed. It irritates him, so he starts arguments and shouts accusations; n.o.n.s.t.o.p.
So.
Independence was scheduled for a complete and thorough inspection, and we are holed up in a local motel; we will know something about the damages fallout the third or fourth week of this month. In the meantime, things between Holland and I have gone seriously sideways. As well as the possibility of Independence being totaled … it appears that our marriage is also headed for the scrap heap.
I can't believe I'm living a life that eerily resembles my mother's and my sister Ramona's. I have STUDIOUSLY AVOIDED domineering men. I always steered clear of neanderthal's. Holland needs to dominate; he needs to control everything and everyone. Holland was unprepared for me. I do NOT like to be under a man's thumb … and I will NEVER be controlled by a man. I will gladly walk alongside a full-grown man who understands that I am a capable and worthy partner; BUT I will NEVER choke on the dust of a chest-thumping/brow-beating, shouting Neanderthal.
If a man does not allow for disagreement, individual thought and opinions; and flat out tells you that you stress him out because you are not wanting to “fall in line” and be in solidarity with any activity you find objectionable and destructive = like drugs, and bad company … they are shallow people, wanting their own way; and wanting to mold you into their opinion of acceptability. They will never be satisfied – and there will never be enough that can be done to make you acceptable in their eyes.
As of 2 days ago, Holland shouted he wants a divorce because "we don't get along - you don't like my family or friends: you hate everyone!" I don't hate anyone. I don't want to be around - or to be associated with - drunks, druggies, liars, cheats, or thieves: if people are trying to better themselves, that's different … but when people refuse to change bad habits and criminal activity, then NO! That does not make me hateful, it makes me relying on common sense and self-care actions. I was raised in an alcoholic-druggie environment before I left home at 17 to build a life for myself away from that crazy train ride; I have no plans to book passage on the Redmill Religion Express Rail. Holland wants a divorce, but he refuses to give me one based on Biblical principles - and anything less is simply another domineering action to keep me from moving on. I am a Christian, a divorce for any other reason than adultery will keep me tethered to him in the eyes of God for the rest of my life with no hope of getting on with my Life. It is cruel; it is unjustified. But I am learning that cruelty is the hallmark of the Redmill Religion.
This entire relationship has been hard to live with; I've never experienced anything like it before - it's almost like he's bipolar. I never know from 1 hour to the next what mood he's going to exhibit. One minute he wants me to go visit his family with him … the next he's yelling at me that he doesn't want me to have anything to do with his family: one minute he's reaching across the console to hold my hand & the next minute he's yelling he wants a divorce because "I can't live with you - we don't get along." If we have a great day one day … he will turn the next day into a chaotic drama. It's like he deliberately sabotages any chance of this marriage surviving. It's a crazy train ride every day.
But, he wants to make sure I "get an apartment and a new car" before he ditches me so he doesn't have to deal with guilt of ditching me for the hyped up hogwash he sells to friends and family. In short, he is willing to throw away a good thing in his life in order to hold onto bad habits and bad company. Isn't he a swell guy?
This entire week has been a nightmare straight out of Hell - so these are some of the things I have been doing to keep a peaceful attitude, a joyous outlook on life, and cultivate love in my Life leading towards my Shabbat Island of Rest:
1. Spend time away (I've gone back to hiking, and visiting friends: gone many hours, which is a blessing at this time).
2. Be intentional (I intend to be happy no matter what, and I have set my mind on harvesting happiness where I can).
3. Schedule “rest” (I purposefully rein in angry thoughts, and focus my mind on canceling stress; I also have been sleeping more than usual so that my body can relax and heal from the stress wounds aimed at me).
4. Read the Bible (YES! The Word is a reliable and trustworthy antidote to everything the enemy of our souls can hurl at us).
5. Meditate on God’s Word (I was just saying this to a friend the other day … the Word is written on my heart that I may not sin or return tit-for-tat to those who have wronged me; I will not entertain hate. The Word is a soothing Balm and a source of soul healing).
6. Tune out the noise (Turn my eyes upon Yeshua, and trust Elohim's Plan; punch the mute button on angry words and respond only as Yeshua would in situations geared towards baiting).
7. Spend time in nature (hiking and days in the country are cheap and enjoyable therapeutic activities).
8. Be in God’s presence (Walk in the fullness of a Christian Lifestyle every day, and earnestly pray God's Will in every situation).
9. Listen to praise music …

Where we go from here, I do not know: but this I do know - Elohim has a definite Plan for my Life, and He brought me to Holland. I was not looking for a husband. I was not entertaining remarriage thoughts. Because of this fact, I am secure in whatever tomorrow holds. I know Who holds tomorrow :-)
June 2nd: We simply cannot escape the rain … it seems to follow us wherever we go :-(
So, we each used this in-house day to cater to our individual language of love: Holland cooked a delicious meal … and I designed & crafted 2 more little Angel Baby Blankets :-)
Today was a good low-key Sunday; despite the continual gloomy gray clouds and constant state of wet, we were both feeling blessed in our forced cooped-up situation.
Rain - it just follows us from pillar to post …
An interesting 2-sided pattern; very simple, very easy to work.
Around noon, a new neighbor started to set up …
Holland made bread dough for Supper - no recipe, just a "feel" for it.
Shaped into little Freestyle Round Breads ;-)
Fresh baked bread topped with soppy joe mixture; YUM!
Holland enjoying a little siesta following Supper …

I finished this little boy ABB … and started one for a girl; same pattern ;-)
The Trump Trial {verdict} isn't surprising … it was a politically mandated kangaroo court with hand-picked hatemongering lemmings sitting in judgement.
Rational and logical-thinking people on BOTH SIDES of the political arena are speaking out AGAINST the verdict.
LOGICAL minded people understand what has happened: the obamanite demonrats know they have a brainless puppet sitting in the Oval Office fulfilling barak hussain obama's agenda.
RATIONAL people know that this crap-happy obiden {win} is ANYTHING "BUT!"
This {trial} was NOT ABOUT a rich man who was thought to have paid off a hooker (testimony was given that President Trump DID NOT pay out ANY $$$$$$; he wasn't even involved … and the hooker has gone on mic stating she didn't want him prosecuted - she knew this whole charade was a set-up).
This {trial} was forced on The People to keep THIER CHOICE off the voter's ballots. Period. The demonrats know their puppet isn't capable of running a winning campaign against President Trump.
This outcome is no surprise: THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS in 3rd world countries lorded over by lawlessness … and the clueless obama mouthpiece in the Oval Office, and the obama planted muslim terrorists in DC's Congress are determined to destroy America, subvert The People, and run political roughshod over anyone they feel may defuse their rampant and insane power games.
Hate erodes rational thinking.
Fear engages in ridiculousness.
Religious cults thrive on both hate and fear … and destroys the mind, body, soul, and country.
KEEP IN MIND: what the hate-fueled obamanite minions have done with ONE MAN THEY HATED AND FEARED, they WILL ALSO DO to YOU, if and when you rub them the wrong way.
Hate devours everyone and everything in it's path: we see this in 3rd world countries run by power-hungry morons … and History Pages (Nero, mohammed, Hitler, pot pol, the chinese people's party, ect. notations) highlight the dangers of what has been happening in DC & new york with corrupt leadership.
We were up early, and made our scheduled inspection appointment on time: the news was not good :-(
Mobile West RV Service; #1503 41 Pl, Seaview, WA 98644
Getting the verdict …
The conclusion was not good :-(
Another assessment & a Storage Unit = m.o.n.t.h.s. of twiddling our thumbs.
Holland said we'd need to find an RV Dealer between Longview & Vancouver willing to do the much needed inspection … and I pulled out my Tablet to do an internet search for RV Parks we could utilize for 2 weeks; time enough to get my eye exam (as stress-free as possible), and reschedule another inspection. An RV Park in Woodland-WA had a spot big enough for us, so we turned Betsy's nose in that direction.
Barely 10 minutes after we turned onto the Astoria-Megler Bridge, we missed being involved in a head-on collision when some crack-head speeding towards us in our lane (no sane person would have tried it!) decided to pass a loooong string of 20 cars … the driver barely had time to swerve into the correct lane directly in front of us - Holland was laying on Betsy's horn, and drivers in the on-coming lane had stopped forward movement, altogether; so as not to be sucked into the anticipated wreak. It was so close I don't know how the front bumpers missed contact.
Where do these brainless drivers come from? AND WHY do they always find us while doing their stupid (a lack of good judgment or intelligence and they are not at all sensible) deeds???
THANK YOU ELOHIM for the grace You provided this morning: there was no impact, and no lasting complications; You are a good God.
Woodland-WA from Ocean Park-WA; 1 hr 58 min (97.3 mi) via US-30 E
The Falvel Mansion dominates the scenery as one turns onto Main Street, in Astoria-OR; I have been inside that place (before show-biz tickets were required), and it is something to see ;-)

Other than that heart gripping-adrenaline infusion, the drive to Woodland was relaxing and enjoyable. The chilly, wet, cloudy weather was left behind … and the warmth of sunny, blue-skied Spring weather enveloped us: it felt wonderful :-)
When we reached Woodland, we drove up the Old Lewis River Road (new experience for me; Holland fished this river) to reach our destination, and Holland did great in carefully jockeying Betsy back and forth in the tight area(walkie-talkie convo wasn't working, so I pitched mine in the open window and strolled around the grounds because I couldn't watch anymore - it was a very tight and stressful situation)to carefully back looong Independence into a shady, forested slot along the Lewis River in Woodland-WA
Once Independence was in place and set up, I started putting things in place inside, and Holland got the internet going … then we both took a nap to relax our tired bodies (didn't get much sleep last night = too much on our minds), and stressed minds (complex decisions, a near head-on collision, and a very tight parking slot).

Carefully tucked among the towering Firs …
My back steps are literally at the edge of the upper level bank; I will not be utilizing these.
The view of the Lewis River from our front door ;-)
Tomorrow, I think I will try to loosen up my left leg muscles with a walk around the Park: it will feel good to walk among the scentual barked giants, again ;-)
Before Holland woke up, I had enjoyed a morning coffee & used my Peak Flow Meter; finishing up the trim work on another ABB while he drank his coffee and cleared the mental cobwebs.
Eye-opening reading, this morning :-( & I finished trimming the latest ABB.
Placing his coffee mug in the sink he asked if I'd like to go for a drive: and off we went.
I'm going to be brief in posting today's activities and let the pictures speak for themselves, because it's late tonight and we have an early morning tomorrow … and getting posts up with this new Blogger format t.a.k.e.s.a.l.o.t.o.f.t.i.m.e. (I'm still debating with myself about keeping my Blog up because of this format :-( )
A mirrored heart-shaped cloud in the peninsula sky ;-)
We started at Beard's Hollow and drove a beach drive loop back home through Oysterville - Holland had never driven through the little hamlet before, and I wanted to show him the little church: not a denomination I would be comfortable in, but it's pretty cool to see ;-)
Long Beach-WA: was laid out in 1880 by W.E. Willmore as Willmore City, the town was first settled in 1882. It was soon promoted as a seaside resort and was renamed (1888) for its 8.5-mile (13.5-km) beach.
Long Beach — Thumbnail History: (https://www.historylink.org/file/9596)
Oysterville-WA: was established and named in 1854 by J.A. Clark. It was a hub of oyster farming as the name suggests. It was the seat of Pacific County until the seat was relocated to South Bend in 1893.

This looks like volcanic rock rubble; Beard's Hollow, Ilwaco-WA
Basaltic lava flows border the accreted land to the north and east; the steep cliffs that form North Head Bluff are rocks of the middle Eocene timeframe: these rocks are ancient lava flows that erupted underwater and were later scraped off onto the North American continent. These lavas are more resistant to erosion than sedimentary rocks, explaining why they form such prominent headlands in an area otherwise dominated by sandy beaches.
The waves are larger and wilder here, because the ocean slants deeper.

I saw a LOT going on with this particular cloud formation: 6 hearts, an atomic bomb mushroom cloud, a jellyfish (or a flying saucer); I couldn't decide if this cloud cluster was simply fanciful humor shaped by ocean winds - or an apocalyptic message ;-)
