Healing time itches, doesn't it? Thanks so much for reading and leaving a comment.<br /><br />I love the descriptions of your house. We SHOULD spend some time together. We do have many things in common. Love you!

I too have been plucked from where I was happy to live to places I just plain hated. With this last move in 1997 I left my new dream home on 40 acres with a brand new pool to a rundown old ranch style house. It has land, which I like, but the house was just not what I wanted. Then nothing seemed to be working out for us. I couldn't understand why God was allowing it to happen to us. But, in His time He's brought me around. Now I'm claiming this house as my own & we are very slowly remodeling it to suit us. The dining room is done with a beautiful fireplace. The pool area is done with a very nice breezeway where we love to sit & watch the birds. We are slowly reclaiming the landscaped parts of the property that we let the woods take over after the tractor & mower broke. I'm getting outside & making new flowerbeds & loving it.<br /><br />I don't have a lot of friends here but I do have a church that I love. After my mothers death last fall my siblings haven't spoken to me. So there's been a lot of sadness over broken relationships as well as grief over losing my mother. My dad died in 1995. I'm content with staying home & being with those I love & who love me. <br /><br />Again, there are so many things we have in common. We really do need to spend some time together!!<br /><br />Melindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13424535245010676898noreply@blogger.com
