Monday Musings.

 Each and every day progress is being made at

our brand new digs . . . Goals for tomorrow include

a huge galvanized tub for all of these shoes.  Seven

people have lots of shoes.  My peeps and I traveled

to two Home Depots today to purchase a galvanized

tub for our scuffs, but each of them had dings and

gouges . . . Tomorrow the hunt will continue for

the tubs!!!

 Yep, Funky 1 and Funky 2 are in place on the

front porch.  They are QUITE the conversation

piece.  Everyone who comes to visit comments 

on them.

 A brand spankin' new farm lamp will be installed

in our laundry room tomorrow.  Three farm lamps

will also be hung outside the front of the garages

tomorrow.  Our back porch will also be granted a

galvanized farm lamp.

My precious cowboy quilt made as a home school

project several years ago will be hung in the dining

room tomorrow.  We held it up there and determined

exactly where it would go.

Moving from bigger to smaller is most definitely

a process.  My goodness.  We sure do love our

new home, but storage is at a premium.  We are all

working together day by day to get things done.  It

is difficult to accomplish as much as we used to.  Mike

gets tired much more easily and as we are very 

conscious of this, we do not push him to overdo.

This is a lesson in patience for me . . . I knew that

the Lord would try and teach me about that sooner

or later . . . 

The boys are becoming settled and determining what

activities they will become involved in.  Sam and Luke

will be hitting the links.  They both joined The First

Tee golf program today and will begin clinics and

tournaments beginning in June.  Luke will be joining

a Boy Scout Troop at the new church that we

have attended right around the corner from our

new home.  Tim and Zach are busy hitting the streets

looking for jobs.  Tim landed one teaching guitar

to students at a music store.  Zach is working diligently

to become enrolled in UNLV in order to complete

both of his degrees.  I am praising the Lord for our

great boys and thankful that they have chosen to

hang in there with me as we navigate these waters.
