Settling into the Village

So we have been here 4 months tomorrow.  How am I doing?  Surprisingly the answer is, "Very Well, thank you."

I have church, Stephen Ministry, Wednesday night services and dinner, women's circles, a walking clinic that I am attending, Tai Chi at the Coranodo Center, golf, walking on my own, etc. to keep me well entertained.

The people here are amazingly friendly and helpful.  We are very impressed with the kindnesses that have been shown to us.

Our new church is growing on us.  Our friends our delighful.  Now, if we just had neighbors.... 

But we are enjoying the great variety of birds, the boldness of the animals, the beauty of the lakes, the serenity, the restfulness, the peace.

So what are we missing?  As always my heart yearns for our children and grandchildren.  After God and my precious husband, the children and grandchildren are greatest in my heart.  I doubt if they know the depth of my love.  Perhaps one day.... 

And tonight, after a delightful and delicious dinner in downtown Hot Springs, I enjoyed a very fun evening of Hand and Foot, a card game, with other ladies, while my husband watched UNT win a basketball game in the play-offs.

Life is good.
