Holding Life Loosely or Change Happens

And a wonderful Good Morning to all you loved ones following this blog! Isn't it great the way the Lord made families...we can each be the other's adoring fan.

I'm sitting at Sheryl's computer; Jonathan is in the den on the couch with Cinammon, and Bookie is curled up on his mat at my side. Toby and Whispy accompanied their mama to Lexington KY for Thanksgiving.

Now that we're all accounted for, I'll quickly recap the last few months of my life.

God in His grace and mercy allowed me to spend some quality time with Chris, Hannah and Duncan before they moved to Texas. We got a phone call one morning saying that one of my kids was in the hospital, so Scott bought me a ticket to fly up here to IN. After hanging out a bit, I decided to stick around and Sheryl offered me her home! There you have it.

Daniel and I had a plan worked out whereby I'd chip in for gas and he'd take me to get my things on his way to Florida with Jonathan. But his vehicles are not reliable and he's rethinking that plan. I may not be able to go get my stuff just yet. I'm considering asking Monica and Jessica to put what they can up in the attic. Maybe the next resident of my little room can use the bed and dresser. Sounds like a pran, eh?

Anyone out there like change? How about lots of change in a short time? I'm not talking about loose change jingling around in pockets. I'm referring to being all settled in somewhere with friends and a schedule and in the time it takes to blink your eyes POOF!!!! you've been transported not only far away but back in time. Major Déjà Vu.

I'm just furnishing a peek into my world here...not trying to win a writing contest. Within one day, I go from Hannah and Chris's apt. in Georgia to Indiana, sharing Louise's little aerie next to Jonathan's room. After a week and a half, the dust settled and I realized that I wanted to stay near Jonathan and Louise but that I needed a place to live. Sheryl came to the rescue and now I'm an official part of her household. There are three doggies and two ladies...we temporarily have Cinammon, as Sheryl offered to train her for Daniel.

Guess what? Louisey just knocked on the door and now both of my sweet grown kiddoes are with me this morning. I'd better go gird my loins for action (cooking). To be continued...
