Gosh it's been a long time since I've written! Life has been so busy with work for both Dan and me. Seems finally last weekend we were able to catch our breath for a bit. On the way home from breakfast out on Sunday, we noticed a camper for sale just down the road and around the corner from our home. We called the number on the "For Sale" sign and toured it that afternoon. After tons of questions and some bargaining by Dan, we became the proud owners of a used 1996, 23 foot Jayco camper in excellent condition. On Tuesday, after all the paperwork was done and the check given to the seller, we brought it home and parked it in Mary and Jody's camp sight behind our house. Throughout the week, as time permitted, I set to giving the inside a good once over and stocking it with supplies. More pictures are on my Photo Album site (link on the right).
Not sure if we'll head to any campgrounds yet this season but perhaps may at the end of this month of early in October. When I told friends of ours that we had purchased it, I was asked how I talked Dan into getting it. My reply: It only took me five years! Oh the joy in thoughts of being able to get away on weekends. Fortunately there are a few campgrounds relatively close to home as Dan continues to work 6 days a week most weeks.
But for now...it's set up and ready to go in our back yard. I've already used it for a meeting with someone - very nice indeed! So...Mary and Jody, there's still room for you when you are able to come up this way. We'll just reconfigure the "camp sites"!!!
Welcome! I began this blog on the cusp of turning 55 and considered even that quite an accomplishment. Life has brought many twists and turns, which I have come to call the emerging patterns of my life. Contained in this blog are little glimpses of some of those emerging patterns that are continually evolving. My posts are rather eclectic - from spiritual musings, to postings about our grandchildren, nature musings, craft projects, and other news that may or may not be of interest to anyone except me. I hope all who come across this blog will find something of value. Enjoy!

A simple heart fumbling through space and time waiting in paralysis of human making. Seeking not,asking not but asking much. Restless spirit within pulls the mind in a thousand directions without focus. Only One can quell the confusion that has become the way of life. And that One is beckoning to take that plunging step into the abyss where Wisdom lives. 11 October 2007
