House Blessing

During the move, we had our small group and some other special friends come over for a house blessing. First we ate pizza and brownies in the neighborhood park pavilion and then we walked to the house where we went through each room and prayed and sang hymns. It was really fun.

We Moved!

We've spent the last several weeks relocating down the street. It sounded easy but "pride comes before the fall". We literally pushed our belongings down the street on dollies (including the piano), in our bike trailer, on our wagon and in our van. We decided to buy versus rent because it's a "buyer's market" and we found a place in the neighborhood we've been living in that backs up to a cow pasture. And, if moving wasn't enough, we took down the privacy fence and Brian put up the rod iron fence so we could enjoy looking at the cows out back and pretend we live in the country. Being a Ph.D. which he claims makes him an expert "post hole digger", he battled the clay soil and won. And then we pulled out all the shrubs out front and planted lovely things like a crepe myrtle, azaleas, a hydrangea, carpet roses and mums. We planted a tree out back too. And then we painted a bedroom. So, it's been busy around here.....
