Going Home

It seems just as I get going on an interesting project, one thing after another seems to crop up and derail my momentum. But, I guess that is life. At least, it has been my life. Our house is in major turmoil, with renovations. On Friday, Hermon decided that we needed to make a place in my kitchen for a new stove, long overdue! So he and our handyman, Dave, turned my kitchen upside down and inside out, removing cook top, wall oven, then ancient water heater. (Hot water on Demand water heaters are wonderful, by the way.) So now I can use that space for a pantry. My stove comes in the morning sometime. What a mess! Not that the rest of my house is completed either, but the time was right to do this. So what am I going to do to help this ongoing renovation? I am going to visit my family in Mississippi! My Uncle Dave, at 84, has been ill for a while now, and I am worried about him. I need to see him and to be with the rest of the family. We have all been very close and have spent lots of time together, all my life. A visit with family is good for the soul. It is refreshing to my spirit to see them and to enjoy the unconditional love they have always shown me. I am excited to go.

I hope something looks better when I return, or I may just turn around and go back!!
So now for my little blog, I will fill in as I can over the next few days before I leave on September 9th. I will return on the 19th. Then I will be able to concentrate on the project at hand. Please bear with me. Thank you for those of you who are following this. Best wishes, Sheila Adams
