ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.....there's no place like home. Was Dorothy right? Yes I think she was right
on the $$! I've heard people say that home is where you hang your hat, but I don't quite agree. There is a feeling I get when I'm home, which is Western KY in my case, that I have never had anywhere else. Some might say I've never given another place a chance and maybe they have a point. After all I've only stayed away for about a year at a time and usually I'm pining for "My Old Kentucky Home" after only about 3 weeks!
We arrived back in this great place almost 2 weeks ago and it is great to be back!!!!!!!!!!!! I missed the beautiful rolling hills, character filled landscapes full of old barns and trees and livestock. Believe it or not it has been nice to feel the cold air on my bare skin. Who knew that
I would miss fall and winter here. It was staying in the 80s in South Texas which was nice but I've really enjoyed the fall weather here since we arrived.
It has also been great to reconnect with my great family. As I'm typing my niece Hanna is showing me her Clifford the Big Red Dog book. She's reading great. She is a 1st grader this year.
Her brother Heath is going to pre-school twice a week for half a day, he's 3. They are growing so fast, just like my two boys.
Its even great to be around my not so chatty brother. He is a unique person who grunts more than vocalizes! He talks to me especially when I first got back which made me think he really missed me! He is over 2 depts at his plant so I think alot of it is he has work on the brain quite a bit. He is a mechanical engineer who has risen through the ranks of his company and done very well for himself. I love he, his wife Misty and those kids so much. *)
Well, I hadn't written anything in a while so I thought I would write a little. Nothing that substantive but oh well. I'm looking forward to my favorite holiday Christmas! Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! Have a great week. :)

Thankful
Its 6 am on a Monday and I'm in a great mood. Go figure! After having gotten sick Saturday night and sleeping most of Sunday I woke up feeling great this morning. I'm thankful for that.
I'm also thankful that soon the chaos held inside a 2x4 box will be over! (Don't have a huge TV)
Either way it goes I'll be glad to have closure! And.... this is for you Angel - I know God's will
is what will be done and I trust Him no matter what!
I'm thankful for so much as I look out at the darkness making out a few shapes with dim lights showing up. We are surrounded here by huge motorhomes that cost more than any house I've ever owned! If we spend 200K it will be on a foundation with mortor and bricks and the like!
Okay I digress......I'm thankful that God works in our circumstances as we pray and ask for
His direction.
We have struggled with living in such a tight space and went back and forth about what the answer is. We began to pray that God would open a door for us to have more room and yet not
have to spend more $$ and He has worked it out. We don't know all the details yet but I do know that we will be living in an apartment that is really nice and at a good price and the other
details are being worked out. Like the camper, my Mom and my brother are interested in having it for trips to the Lake in the summer so God willing that will work out! I'm so excited!
I'm thankful that I enjoy San Antonio. Also that the hospital that Marty has been at only nearing 8 weeks and they want him to stay and are making an offer this week. We're considering staying of course but we also may just rent a place at our next stop. I feel in my spirit that it will be San Antonio though. We'll see. *) I must say that the people here are great and that is a real plus.
I'm thankful for my sons Garret and Cole and my husband Marty. I'm thankful for my brother Tony and his wife Misty and my precious niece and nephew Hanna and Heath. My Mom Sandra, my Dad Frankie, my in-laws (yes!) Verlin and Geraldine, Marty's brother Rick and his wife Janette. I think of the scripture in Hebrews that says there is not time enough nor paper enough to list all those who lived by faith. My dilemna also is that I don't have time to list everything that I am thankful to God for, but I will spend the rest of my life thinking of the ways and telling Him.
