New Focus

My last blog was kind of depressing.  This blog should have a more hopeful note. 

I talked with my sister-in-law, Heather and she said that maybe my waiting in Madison was to be available for when my dad moves to southern California this summer.  I would be the one to help him pack up and drive his car and trailer to CA.   After I had thought about this,I was at peace and my focus changed from what will I do next to waiting.  I won't be sitting around.  I will be actively waiting. 

My sister, Denise, has several projects that I am able to do around the house.  Currently, I am cleaning, fixing and painting the fireplace screen.  Apparently, my nephew, Ben, placed eleven cents and a brown crayon in the screen's track that caused it to have difficultly opening.   After fixing that problem, I am now painting the screen.  Tomorrow I should finish the screen.  I will also need to clean out the charcoal from the fireplace before setting in the newly painted screen. 

My sister also wants some landscaping done.  God has not been cooperating on that project.  Madison missed out on the last rain showers and the ground is rock hard.  I really don't look forward to digging in hard ground!  I know I will get some exercise with that project!

We are all going to Missouri's Ozarks for Memorial Day weekend.  I'm looking forward to an new place to check out.  My summer adventure is continuing but in a different form.
