We've been working out the travel details for our next trip to Ethiopia. I originally was going to stay home and just David was going to go. But after much prayer, and patience on my part (and a thumbs up from my chiropractor on the 17 hour flight!) it looks like I'll be definitely going with David and possibly Squeeker, if we swing the airfare for him!
Saturday was my 40something birthday! It was a great day! We bought a new car..well not a new car, a year old used car to haul 4 children and two adults!!! It's a big BOAT!!!! It's taking some practice parking the "boat" as I affectionately call it! But I like it.....it's definitely growing on me. We also had lunch with my brother-in-law and his wife, and my sister-in-law and her family! It was sooooo great to spend time with them again! Sometimes the death of a loved one causes separation in families....but in this case,,,it brought them together...and it's soooooooooooo good to see them together. I'm sure Rosie was smiling down from heaven at us!
The holidays are always a little bittersweet........it's really hard getting my arms around the fact that I am now the matriarch of my family. Geez...I'm way too young for that. It's been a hard transition putting on that hat, and after a few years now of my mom being gone.....the hat is getting a little more comfortable.
Below are two pictures...one of Pickles that I absolutely love. The other is a sunrise taken from our back deck this morning......No snow here in beautiful North Carolina.......but the sunrises are spectacular coming up over the trees!
Have a merry everyone!
