Well, as you can see there is just no time for anything now! You know, things don't ever stay the same, change is always upon us, but I really, really, really hope this next move is going to be it for a while. My sweet husband and I have been moving around the south for...well, we have been married almost 13 years, so since then! And I can't even begin to count all the dear folks we have become friends with, that have been so kind, so helpful, so generous. I just love them all. But it's a little sad because I do lose touch with some of them. It's certainly not because I don't love them still, just time away I guess. I have now found that it takes about 2 years to get comfortable and easy with new friends. And so far, that is the point at which, for some reason or another, we move somewhere else to start the process all over again. Yet, our community, where ever we go, does always surround a similar group...our church. The churches we have been members of are what have made moving around so wonderful...welcoming us, unpacking moving trucks, throwing me baby showers and delivering meals after the baby gets here, delivering meals when we move in (before we've even met many of them), delivering meals when we are packing up to leave, did I mention the baby showers and after baby meals? I do have six! And not to exclude my sweet friends that weren't apart of my particular church...Lisa T, you know all about those sweet friends! You're one of them...I couldn't have made it in southwest AR without you guys!!!

Anyway, I am just thinking again about leaving our sweet church family, and all the other sweet ones we have left before. I am so blessed in the places we've been...though I do long to find somewhere to stay.

On a different subject, I am wondering about some blogging etiquette and I don't know if anyone out there can help me. What is the proper thing to do when someone says on their blog that if you use any of their pictures to be sure to link back to them? Does that mean they don't mind you putting the actual picture on your blog as long as you put the link there, or does it mean you can only put the link, no picture? I want so much to put up things/pictures from other blogs and link you to them, but am unsure of what is proper.
And what about using pictures from flickr with a link back to where it came from? Is that ok?
thanks you crazy people who read my blog...

  1. You are such a joy and encouragement to those who have been blessed to have met you during your travels (believe it it's true!) I pray that all goes well with this move and that you get to settle down for awhile.
