This evening . . .

After four hours of shopping with the two gals that have an 11 year age gap, of whom the younger of the 11 year gap is not accustomed to shopping for four hours (truth be told, neither is the gal with the 28 year age gap above either (-:)...got all that?...anywho...after all that, Alli and I took a 50 minute walk . . . 

Past the rows of green that I've been loving watch slowly pop up...

To an old Lutheran church a little further down the way.

Pretend with me if you will that you don't see the coiled, mercury filled, wacko lightbulb in this quaint picture. Imagine it with a flicker of gas lighting if you will. (-;

 I can NOT get over how much I LOVE being back in this neck of the woods.

It is an interesting position to be right now with a grieving heart but at the same time a heart can feel the joys of God's blessings. 

Jeremiah 29:11New International Version (NIV)

11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
