It has been several months since I last posted on this
blog.
It feels so good to actually have
the time to sit before the screen of my laptop and get typing.
So much has been happening!
There have been many changes and more changes to come!
Allow me to catch you up if I may…
Let’s back up to the month of May if we could…
In the beginning of May, we were able to take a lovely, and
much needed vacation. I’ll share more about that in a future post.
Any guesses where we went on vacation?? |
By early June, my babysitting responsibilities for the
grandkids were coming to an end.
(Their mama is a teacher)
AND our garden was coming along nicely.
But sometime in June, hubby completed his current construction
project.
(He’s a construction manager)
He had been on this current project, a hospital, for nearly 10 years.
As soon as one phase would be completed, they
would continue on to the next phase and the next……well you get the picture.
As this project was drawing to a close, he learned his next
assignment would be iin Maryland, outside Washington D.C.
And YES, the
land of liberals!
We live in Pennsylvania.
Ahh, the serenity of our neck of the woods... |
So while his new assignment is not that far away, it is too far to
commute on a daily basis.
So being the
gypsies we are, we have packed up a few of our possessions, and headed to
Maryland. Talk
about being a square peg in a round hole!
We have not sold our home.
In fact, we will probably be able to go home most weekends…..to mow
grass, manage the garden
and of course, love on our little ones.
Unfortunately, in this process, I had to re-home the girls. L
And my country dog has become a city dog.
Josie, waiting patiently at the door of our tiny apartment to go for her next walk. |
I don’t think she’s minded though, because
she gets walked often.
I’m sure as soon as she gets home, she will head to the field to do some ground hog
hunting!
So what does a simple country girl blog about when she is
surrounded by city life?
Well, we shall see..

LOOKING AHEAD
As if we haven't had enough change...
There are more changes coming…
In September, we have a wedding to look forward to.
My baby boy is getting married.
Okay, so he’s not a baby, he’s 28.
But nonetheless, he’s my baby and he’s
gettin’ hitched.
And we are looking
forward to the addition of a new daughter as well as a bridal shower coming up soon. More about that later!
AND can I get a drum roll please……
We are going to be grandparents again!
That’s right. Jack and Rhea will be getting another brother
or sister for Christmas.
When asked if
they wanted a girl or a boy,
Jack said "a boy,"
and of course Rhea said "a girl."
So good ol’ Jack told his sister that he
could have a brother and she could have a sister. I’m afraid someone is going to be
disappointed! Kids say the funniest
things don’t they?
So there you have it!
Lots of Changes… Lots
to look forward to..
And
plenty of reasons to be grateful
and to trust in
and lean on
the goodness of our God!
