Well, here are just a few words about Mary’s recent visit:
We ate out.
We shopped.
We watched some good TV.
We ate out.
We shopped.
We went to the movies. (Night at the Museum…very funny!)
We ate out.
We shopped.
And then we ate out and shopped some more.
Basically, we did just normal stuff, and I enjoyed it immensely. No visits to theme parks, no concerts, no huge family get-togethers. We just hung out and talked and caught up and had a good time. It was sad to put her back on the plane, but the plan, God willing, is to fly both Mary and Joey back up for Christmas. I’m also hoping to get to the point where every three months or so I’m either visiting family down in Florida, or having someone from down there come up for a visit here.
And then of course the topper to all this was that on the way back from the airport Russ and I stopped to buy our dining room set which was delivered this afternoon, and here’s what it looks like in our house:’
Our next move (after getting a little more money into our emergency fund) will be to start saving up for some new bedroom furniture, including a new bed, a kind-size, so we can put the queen-size into the guest room, so it will be easier to accomodate visitors. The house is really shaping up. It feels good. We are blessed, in so many ways.
