| | We Moved !! We now reside in our new home on the hill (by Kansas standards you can call it a hill). We love it here! We can faintly recall having lived somewhere else for the past 11 years . . ! Actually, there were some heartstrings that had to be severed from the old place. Diana has expressed the most sentimentality so far. She cried when we laid to rest a couple pieces of worn out furniture and often qualifies her happiness at being in the new house with "but I miss our old house." I'm thinking she inherited that gene from Myron  .
Moving has been an eye-opener with regard to the amount of 'stuff' we have. Stuff we don't need. Stuff we have to deal with, and it becomes a burden in itself. The flip side of this is the way I was also reminded of the way our material needs are so completely provided for. A huge blessing it is to have adequate housing, warmth, food, and all kinds of technology and comforts in life. But Jesus' instruction to his disciples was to travel lightly and I hope I can continue to learn how that command will affect my life if I take it seriously.
School is going . . . OK. I think we're picking up steam again after being distracted with moving and all that goes along with it. We are studying the American Revolution and that's been fascinating. The children are often dismayed at how the American natives were treated during that era. Our respect for George Washington grows when we compare how he came to the Presidency vs. how our eager candidates are vying for that position these days.
We have a business related overnight stay at the Hyatt planned for next week and it looks so good to me right now. To name a few of the perks, there will be great company, room expenses paid, and I won't be cleaning up the kitchen after dinner. And we get to take the kids along. (I am serious!)
And here they are with a new playmate and cousin who moved to our area recently.
