WHAT ABOUT OUR TRIPS??

Life has been busy!  I know I keep saying that but it is true. This time of year I take lots of time for me.  I bath in the quiet by the lake.  I enjoy church in Clear Lake and I just sit and read.  Yes we are in our new house in Clear Lake and it is very homey.  Christmas by the Lake was fun.  But alas I got the crud and was sick for a few days after the event.  I got 13 to 15 hours of sleep!  Much needed time.  I am almost finished Christmas shopping.   I have a couple more things to get.  The tree is decorated and the house looks like Christmas.  What about our trips??

Dale and I spent a week in Illinois well, actually we stayed a Lake Geneva.  He received a week of training.   Home for a little while.  Rika went to Missouri and we went to Clear Lake.  Angie spent a week in Ill for training.  She to stayed in Lake Geneva.   She came home and they went to the Newsboys concert.  Next day off to Missouri to look at a horse for the program.  We brought back a part Gypsy mare and miniature donkey.   Well so January and Feb will be filled with trips to Ill, Mn and much more training.  Then March will take us to Nebraska for more training.   I will relish in the time I have in Clear Lake and enjoy each day.  I am looking forward to that quiet time.  I am excited to see them learn and grow in their jobs but Christmas is a time for me.  

What about our trips?  Lots of learning, growing and peaceful moments.  I have enjoyed my time on all the trips and look forward to many more.  I pray for a mild winter.  Hard to drive when the weather is bad.

So on this day I wish you a very Merry Christmas and may God give you the time you need in peace and solitude.
