Too Much to Tell
Every time I sit down to do a blog, I'm overwhelmed, not knowing where to start and how to pare it down to a reasonable size. There's just too much to tell... so I'll simply say our trips were wonderful. Both brides were lovely and the grooms charming and handsome. Our children and grandchildren and greatgrandchildren were delightful and spending time with them always thrills me. We were so blessed to get to be at both wedding festivities. We had to wait until Sunday to see Scott, but the visit was well worth the wait. We have a wonderful family and are so proud of them. Okay, I know that sounds trite, but it's SO TRUE!!!
Since I can't seem to adequately summarize all that's transpired, I'll just leave it at that.
After much trial and retrial, we finally have an office. The room is set up so that storage and printeres are in the closet and the work spaces are clutter free. Although not the largest, it's the most workable office I've ever had and I'm so pleased with it. Now I just need to dig through boxes of "office stuff" and paperwork to get it all put away.
We got dining room and bedroom furniture off of craigslist.com (love that!) but we almost lost the two arm chairs of the dining room set. We had them in the back of the pickup and nothing could move. Runnung at freeway speeds down the ever-busy I-4, Richard happened to see the chairs flying end over end high in the the air before crashing and skidding onto the pavement. We stopped, backed up the shoulder, sure we'd find nothing but splinters... but the chairs were only scraped. They were as sturdy as could be! God certainly had his hand in that!!!
So, our kitchen, bedroom, office and guest room are fully furnished now, although not yet accessorized. We still need a china cabinet, buffet or server for the dining room, and nearly everything for the livingroom and entry... but God is providing the perfect pieces as we can afford them. His timing is always just right!
So, soon, we'll be settled and I will begin choosing wall colors and accessories. Maybe it'll be all done in a year or so... but it's a fun project and I am absolutely thrilled to have this home to work on and live in!
