Trying to "Move On"

First thing that needs to happen when you are moving is to break-down! So that's what happened before we ever left Raleigh, NC. We spent one more night there and got a new "something" and off we went to Louisville, KY to live nearer family. We downsized 45 years of stuff into a small U-Haul and a trailer (WOW!). It was a smooth trip and we have been here about a month now. We have settled in our place here and I have gone back to work. As soon as I get my camera back from Anna I'll post pictures of this beautiful part of the country.

Carolina Blue Skies

What a day!! We live in America...the skies are Carolina blue...and UNC won the ACC!!! What a day!!! God bless America!

Spring's Coming!

I am so ready for Spring! Our neighborhood is full of white blossoms and bulbs starting to peak out of the ground. This is truly one of my favorite seasons.

Water Water Everywhere!

North Carolina is one of the states that has been dealing with major drought issues. Raleigh, where we live, has put major restrictions on water usage since our water supply has been dwindling since early summer. Many people have made or purchased rain barrels to collect water. Well today, for the second time this week, we are getting much needed rain. Praise the Lord!

Special Routines

I remember when I'd visit my parents and I used to chuckle at their "routines" that they enjoyed so much. Especially the ones in the evening before they headed to bed. It was such a special time in their lives and it was fun to see them do these different things together. For us "hot chocolate at bedtime" has become a daily item. I don't know when it started but it has become part of our evenings and I love it! BTW...Bill makes really good hot chocolate!!

Speculatin' on Kentucky!

Tonight, after working I came home to candlelights, wine and beautiful music (Michael Utley and the Coral Reefers Band which played for Jimmy Buffett). Bill has blessed me with so many wonderful moments like this through our years together. The horse on our table was bought in Lexington, KY and reminds us of where we are headed. Our home is back on the market after some work that needed to be done and we are now looking forward to a good offer and then our move back to Kentucky. Our prayer is for everything to be smooth and uneventful. God has truly blessed us...

A Warm Fire...

Yesterday was a cold and windy day here in Raleigh...which in my head means it's time to build a fire!! One of my favorite things about winter is building a fire to cozy up to and either read or watch a good movie. I remember when my mom was living she'd have a fire going pretty much all day long during the winters in Oklahoma. Anyway, we are trying to get all the use out of this fireplace before we move on to Kentucky...
