adieu

 

Someone once called me an idealist.  Well, I might add to that and say, perhaps a lazy idealist.  Neither a good marriage nor good parenting comes easily.  It’s past time to put more of my time and energy into the real life relationships that are most important.

I don’t know if it will be six months or six weeks or what.  But at this point I think I must take a leave of absence from the blogging world {as well as time wasters consumers like facebook}.  I don’t plan to “lurk” here either, so I will sorely miss reading many of your blogs!

I was going to post about our 3300-mile journey to Florida, the Carolinas, and more.  Highlights like 5 Guys Burgers & Fries in Pensacola, touring colleges, meeting George & Kim Berry of Atlanta on our Ft. Sumter tour, and being blessed to meet another blogger friend, Jodi {Granola Mom 4 God}, and her family in real life.

I was going to show you snippets of the fun little girl b-day party we had for the Popper ~ which concluded with them witnessing the birth of a calf named Beller, I might add.

The grass is growing with thanks to yesterday’s rain.  A shipment of fruit trees is due to arrive today.  Tim and the Cattleman picked up a load of landscape edgers today ~ They’re outside now putting landscape fabric around the front of the house.  There’s always something going on around here.  If you’re in the neighborhood, please stop in and say hello!

And if you think of us, would you please pray for us to know and display the grace of God in our lives?  Thank you! 

May God shower His goodness on each of you every day!

thank you, Conny

While I have resisted the call of pinterest, this was much needed...  Read this and keep a tissue handy!  Just in time for thoughts of Mother's Day.
