Questions

 

Because I've had so many questions about our move to the Yukon,

I thought I would write a post with a few of the details.

Here are just a few:

1) When are we leaving? In two weeks.

2) Are we selling our home? No, our youngest son and his new

bride will live here.

3) Is my MIL moving with us? No, she has an apartment

near her girls, as well as her camp here to visit. She will

be flying out this summer to spend some time with us.

4) Is this a seasonal job? No.

5) What type of work is it? We will be managing a camp ground,

restaurant, convience store, gas station, and small laundromat.

6) Will you still be blogging? Definitely!

I hope that answers a few of your questions. Now..........

Here is a new book I bought in Traverse City.

I just couldn't believe how cheap it was-$5.95!

I know I won't be implementing most of the techniques

written here, but I'm  still a sucker for anything titled,

Back To Basics. Are you?

Since blogger's playing nice, I thought I would share my two

other apron fabrics with you. I love the old-fashioned pattern

of this one. It reminds me of wallpaper I had in a past kitchen.

And paisley I love, even in black and white.

Today I'm joining Lisa at Two Bears Farm and Three Cubs  for Rural Thursday. And Debbie at Debbeidoo's Newbie Graduation Party. Many of you, like myself, have received a lot of advice from Debbie and help getting started in blogdom land. A big 'Thank You' from me!!

A Long, Long Road

"It's a long, long road with many of winding curves that leads us to who

knows where, who knows where"? This is a line out of a song from

my teenage years. I can't remember who sang it. Maybe Simon &

Garfunkel? It seems so appropriate for my life these last few years.

    I've come to realize that many times when we think we have our 

    future planned out, the man steering the ship has other plans for us.       

Just when I'm feeling comfortable and settled he opens a window I

hadn't even been looking to open.

It's not unfamiliar, I've traveled these waters before.

I've said "hello" to my friends along this road a time or two, or three!

I won't be relying on the 'sign forest' to direct my way! I have passed

this way many times and know how to navigate from here.

I feel certain you've already guessed it! DH and I are returning to the Yukon!

   We will be leaving in four weeks.

 I don't want to overwhelm you (bore you?) with all the details right now.

But I did want to share my 'big news' with you, as I'd promised I would.

I will be back on Monday, if you're interested, to tell more.

Until then, I hope you have a great weekend, my friends.

ABANDONMENT

   
    What is abandonment?
    It is forgetting your past.
    It is leaving your future in His hands.
    It is devoting the present fully and completely to your Lord.
   

    Abandonment is being satisfied with the present moment, no matter what that moment contains.
    You are satisfied because you know that whatever that moment has it contains-
     in that instant God's eternal plan for you.

    Have a blessed Sunday!
