Company Girl Coffee 7.16.10
The past few weeks have been an incredibly rich collage of experiences. I’d like to say that there is this grand plan that I have, but unfortunately only God knows the blueprints on this one and I’m simply the clay that He keeps squashing into new vessels.
Les is still in Afghanistan. He is hot, tired, but he is doing well and he is missed terribly. We can Skype via chat every day or so and on the blessed days for a moment or two I can see him via video. The situation is grim there, prayers are needed.
In June MIss Bella came to our home. She is one bundle of joy and she keeps me laughing constantly. She has earned her traveling stripes, making over 4000 miles of travel via car with me since June 20.
The children are in Arkansas visiting their other family. Chaser spent a good bit of the summer home going to summer school to make up a credit he didn’t have when we moved (Christian school to public school transition) He has had a great summer and I’ve enjoyed the extra 1:1 time with him.
Madison has been enjoying the horse her stepmom and dad bought her in Arkansas. We’ve just rearranged to be able to find a space for him here when we find a place to board him. It’s going to be an interesting time! I love horses though, so we’ll enjoy the process!
Honey blessed us with 8 lab puppies yesterday. I am telling you when it rains it pours…but sure enough this is in my master bath as I type!
God’s been working on my head as usual…..letting go is a continual process and though a crow bar is sometimes needed, He’s giving me freedom each time He wins in the battle to trust Him more!
I became a Mac at home person. My MacBookPro is quite the learning curve after starting in the middle of a crunch project, but I am excited about how it makes everything better in my writing work!
It’s almost back to school time. Hard to believe I’ll have another Senior this year! I look so forward to this time of year, as a former teacher, fresh faces, desks, and new challenges excite me!
Have a great Friday and enjoy the day! We are Blessed!

and then there was another…
Father’s Day weekend brought many changes in our home. Miss Madison had been in Arkansas at her natural dad’s for three weeks, so I headed out Friday morning to fetch her, visit my dad for a few hours, then head back home. She is heading on a church youth trip this morning, so we only had about 48 hours to spend together. She will return to Arkansas for another three weeks, so I was glad to have her for the weekend.
The drive to her grandparents is about 8 hours for me. Upon arrival we left to drive another few miles to see her newly acquired horse. The Red Roan is just a baby really, but he’s hers…and he’s as sweet as he can be. 
He’s housed in Arkansas for now, the real question will be if she’s allowed to bring it home in the Fall. The short story is there is concern she will not be allowed to have her horse at her Alabama home.
Meanwhile, it seems that my life is blessed in over abundance with animals….this weekend a dear friend who has owned the pet shop in my home town for over forty years let my daughter know that he had something special for us …
There’s a new definition of insanity at our home, 3 fluffs and 3 labs…
hold me!
