This often happens in February, so I thought I’d give it a shot. You know, that doing a blog post everyday thing. You also may have noticed that previous to this month, I haven’t been very present in the blogging world lately. Truth be told, I’ve been puzzling over whether I should keep this blog going or not. I mean, if a blog is called RV There Yet, but there isn’t much RVing going on – maybe we are there.
But are we?
Since we’re still trying to fine-tune the ‘what’s next’ for us – guess I’ll keep the blog going for a while yet! And I’ll keep on trying to do a post every day for the rest of the month, though the last week I’m helping with some kid care of those four Waco boys, so that week might be a little sketchy. Maybe I’ll have some guest writers!
Thanks for stopping by! Whether this is your first visit or you’ve been joining in the fun for years – I appreciate you all! What do you think? To blog or not to blog?
Whew! Where did January go? I’ve been thinking that this is the first February in twenty years that we haven’t been working at a SOWER project, but when I did a little checking, turns out I was wrong! We were in Florida twenty years ago and we were about to have our long anticipated Disney World vacation with our whole family!! Minature Golf Fun
We were a much smaller group those days! And while the memories are sweet, I don’t recommend taking a two year old on a Disney vacation! And that’s your travel tip for the month!
But here we are in East Texas, where it was in the 20’s last week and is expected to be in the 70’s the next two days (at least!). Our adjustment to house-life continues, so watch for more installments on the “What’s Dad going to do?” question and more musings on this new life of ours! And trying to figure out where this blog is going!
Well, we made it!! It was a pretty good month, right? We celebrated three family birthdays, watched chicks hatching to new life, and learned a thing or two about what kind of volunteer work we do here at ALERT Academy. We were honored as the longest-married couple in the room at a lovely banquet(and we give God all the glory for that!). We wore our winter coats and walked with our hands in our pockets. Then we pulled out our sandals and turned on the A/C. The umbrella came out a little too often for our liking, but I know the earth was thankful for the nourishment. We had snuggles with the Waco grandboys and had long talks about hopes and dreams with our grown son and his lovely wife.
In Texas, the end of February means the beginning of Spring. The tulip tree (aka saucer magnolia) has bloomed, the redbud is busting out and the lawns are dotted with tiny spring flowers. Yes, it’s spring in East Texas – and it’s feeling pretty good!
But life is about to move into warp speed around here. By the weekend our SOWER family of 4 will have grown to 26! Quiet afternoons in the sewing room will be swapped out for painting and preparations for the big SOWER rally (200+ people!) that is scheduled at the end of the month here at ALERT. (Did I mention that Gary & I are the co-chairs of that committee??). I’ll do my best to stay on top of this little corner of the internet, but I hope you’ll understand if it’s a little quieter here than it’s been for the last 28 days!
Thanks for coming along for the February Flurry of Words!
