we are getting things ready ...


december 9th is our BIG move-in to the condo ... we have been taking smaller items over there since we got the key on the 1st ... we've enjoyed planning where we'll put the furniture, etc. ... things like that ...

we really love the place ... there is enough work to be done inside, to make it feel like a house - yet the major work outside is done for us ... which is great 'cause leo isn't up to alot of the normal upkeep ... i putter around as much as i can ... it is all doable or ignorable! :o)

this busy pattern makes for one tired blogger ...

so this is a quick post - as i head for bed! ... i am smiling smiling smiling ... praising God the whole way!

I'm so happy for you. I'm still waiting for God to put me into my little house. Being patient is hard. How about some pictures of your new home? I can't wait to see it.

rita ... well waiting is difficult ... for me anyway, so i won't say "all ing God's time" ... though it IS all in HIS time ... during the season of waiting, i sort of wished that the Lord would have a speedier timetable! but now that i'm puttering around the condo, getting things into place - i'm soooo pleased that He made me wait! :o)

catherine ... it is SOOOO exciting for sure! :o) Lord willing things will be cozy in time for Christmas ... :o) ... now we need a warmer type moving day!

jel ... i'm glad you could share in our joy ... :o) ... blessings on ya!

I read about your new home on David Fisher's site, so I thought I'd swing by and say...CONGRATULATIONS to you and Leo!! The Lord always provides doesn't He!?! Enjoy moving all your things and decorating (that's my favourite part, because everything is so new and exciting, and just the way you like it!).

Dear Saija...As for me I will be perfectly happy when you have settled and when you post a nice picture of Leo, sitting on his big chair , rested and out of pain...How nice will THAT be, eh Saija?

Guess what Saija? Welland is ccoverd in snow. Tomorrow I will have to take some picutres for Mrs. Mac, but I must say, I am not relishing the idea at all!!!

I remember those moments -- so busy, so tired, so good.

Now I'm busy trying to find just one more spot to hide something that I shouldn't have bought. Oy.
