JUST AWAY



Off this early morn' to head to southern Alberta to visit our daughter and family who just moved there last week! Looking forward to seeing y'all when I get back! Pray that the Lord would provide the teaching jobs for both. Hubby is still with our son and family until next Thursday! Busy times - but God is good and gives new strength, mercy, hope and love for every new day. We also thank Him for the 2 day rain He sent!!!

Hugs,
Karin

The reason we don’t have too many windows is probably because we fear they would invite vandalism...
