R & R

I envy those who have time to blog daily. There are always so many thoughts running through my head I'd love to put some down in words for the whole world to see. But, as you can see, my time has been rather limited in recent weeks. We are in Virginia now for some much needed R & R. It's beautiful here. We just took our time driving up here, too. We plan on taking the next few days to visit with old friends and familiar spots. We will be a Grace Bible Camp in Goshen, VA on Thursday. That's where Ashley and I met for the first time. It's in a beautiful spot of Virginia...you should google it, just type in "middle of nowhere" and you should be able to find Goshen. I wonder what would happen if you typed in "middle of nowhere." Think I'll try it to see what happens. At some point we will find ourselves in Clifton Forge to visit with friends we haven't seen in years. We lived in Clifton Forge for the first year of our marriage. It's going to be great to reconnect with friends there. We'd like to go to church on Sunday, but that would mean driving home from Clifton Forge instead of Roanoke. We'll see what happens.

It's nice to be away from all the unfinished projects at home, doing whatever we like without all the loose ends staring you in the face. These past weeks have been very stressful for both Ashley and myself. I've been installing floors for a neighbor while Ashley has had her hands quite full with the kids at home. Fortunately the floors are almost completely finished and that project is over. My own projects have been neglected, not to mention the most important project - loving on my family! That's why we are here, away from it all. Hopefully I'll spend some good time loving on my family this week. I'd love to take side trips to neat places like Roaring Run waterfall, or Goshen Pass. Just us.

We'll see. Hey, maybe I'll keep you posted since I should have some time to post something.
