It depends on what you are looking for...

It depends on what you are looking for as to what you really see. Our view this day is just being busy with all that has to be done. Our best view though is what a great opportunity...

Hello all, whomever you are reading this, BTW let me know if you tune in so I can be assured these postings of mine reach an audience. I don't know either if some of you have had troubles finding this spot. Is it difficult to find?

OK, random views on this Thursday morning...

We have renters....wonderful couple.

We are still looking for animal keepers...

OH....also plant keepers, I have some beautiful houseplants that need a home...

Kids are neck deep in 'Aladdin' summer stock for young kids, Mijo is the genie!!!

Scott is going back to work next week for a few days...

Last class for my MA the next two weeks...

The best view though is
WE ARE SO GRATEFUL FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY...we are also all a bit nervous.

Salad, bread, milk and Typhoid...

While Nick is picking up the milk, Mijo and I are getting our shots. Safeway's pharmacy now takes care of travel shots. Typhoid, Hep A and B and a tetanus booster, amazing what a little grocery shopping can accomplish.
Mid-June and we are still looking for renters. Is it time yet to be worried? Scott is coming home from his stint in Oregon, and July 2nd I start my last course for my MA. It would be nice in the next 3 weeks that we have some of these things squared away. Too bad you can't buy renters at Safeway!

a co-dependent pampered pooch !!!!

It's one of those things you never see coming. I have never been a dog-person. Scott on the other hand is the dog whisperer. Needless to say this dog has maneuvered her way into our hearts by those big brown eyes and droopy ears. The gun-shy hunting dog that begins to shake whenever our voices are raised or there is any tension in the home. The dog that is happy whenever we are happy, sad when we are sad and unbelievable excited when Scott comes home from work. How can you not love this dog? So here we are moving away for a year and all that worries me late at night is not who will rent the house but who will love this dog. I have been slayed by this dog...I think I worry more about her then Scott. Who would have thunk.

BTW... we have two interested renters, now who do we choose?

it's in the details.......

I am sure you all know the saying...the devils in the details.I beg to differ with that statement, God is in the details. Just look at the picture! We walk the dog at this off leash park not far from here. Every season we have been there, she runs like the wind while we meander through the ever changing grass. The grasses have been growing like crazy with the rain and sun we have been blessed with. He is in the details, always in the details.
I need to remember this as the packing up and the packing out begins. I keep thinking that I have to be worried, as long as I am worried God will have to come through for me, like somehow He is held hostage by my fear. He isn't...so why be afraid, why not just wait and see what happens. Not too many posts ago I told you that I would contemplate the birds and the grasses, to have faith. Since He clothes these grasses so gracefully every season ... He knows the details. The devil couldn't care less about any details, he's into broad strokes and general ideas.

the last.....

We are still looking for renters...and as we begin June....so close to July and right next to August, I am wondering. Not yet worried, not like being worried is going to make things go faster. At the moment I would settle for things to SLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW down a bit.
We begin 'the last' syndrome. My children being a bit more aware of good-bye then I but still there is something in realizing that the community of teachers and students will never look the same. I can see the realization in the Seniors as the finality of school comes creeping in their 'I so want to get out of here' attitude. How transient our communities are...I guess we just hold tight as long as we need to, then let go.
