A New Life In A Different State
If you had told me a couple of years ago I would be living in Texas, I would have said, No Way. Not because I didn't want to eventually, but, there were so many hurdles to pass, it looked far, far into the future.
Here is the story of how we came to be Texans.
As I told you in a previous post here. We sold our home in California and moved. We had lived in that particular home for 37 years. Our youngest daughter was born when we had been there about one month, so it held a lot of memories of 5 of our own children and another to bless us in our life.
Many races around the house, apples to pick from our small orchard, volleyball in the backyard, whiffle-ball games in the front yard, redecorating throughout as we lived our life in that little 1487 sq ft home.
Well, life here in Texas has been different. Not in a bad way, tho. The weather is different. Fireflies grace out yard from time to time. I thought being a Californian that fireflies were of the imagination, little did I know... We live in a neighborhood, but the Lord put us on the end of the street and we have no neighbors on one side and none in the back. Only fields of wildflowers with no plans to take away that lovely sight.
We dabbled in selling in an Antique store for about a year, but we have decided that has run its course and now we don't know exactly what will be next, but Lord willing, we want to meet it head on and be a blessing.
One of our grandsons was married to a lovely young lady and two years, almost to the day, they blessed our family with a great grand daughter. Miss "A" is now a little over 4 months old and she is a doll. Of course, we may be a little prejudice. They live a short distance away and it is always a blessing to see her/I mean them!
All of one family's children have graduated high school. One granddaughter is a pharmacy tech, another has a job at a big box store and the grandson is secure in his job for a nearby city.
Another family is growing up before our very eyes. The granddaughter is going to be an accomplished pianist in not very long. (not stage worthy in the world's eyes, but she can play and sing lovely) the young man is finishing his school and wants to follow in his father's footsteps.
As I have four families nearby, the third family has their two graduated and pursuing careers in AC/Electrical and Nursing.
The fourth family is getting ready to send off their children to college and finishing high school. They also have a great grandchild who is soooo cute.
