The Local News
Sleeping sweetly together my adorable little fuzzballs
I found the kitties sleeping with Woody this morning. We are in separate quarters until this move is complete as we two wide bodies dont fit on the full sized beds in this place. Add the furry love bugs and there is no room at all for me. Im sure Woody doesnt miss my snoring if nothing else...
The cats miss him when he is away, pace at night and wake me up at odd times. I actually got a full nights sleep last night which was wonderful.
Woody said that he had a great time in California. The wedding went wonderfully well and his friends are all well happy and interested in our lives and what we are doing. I guess it was a none stop meet and greet seeing people ect...
He chose not to go and see my Mom. I understand, his mother died in this place my Mom is in and it hurts him still.
I wish he had though. I received an email that my Mom is having issues and I am not sure what they are, but hope to find out soon what is going on. Somehow I am still not on the approved list of people to get information. Fighting this right now while my communication system is poor is troublesome. My cel phone isnt working and I have limited use of the phone here in this unit. My own house is two weeks behind, and likely its going to be even longer as there has been a huge snafu and work has nearly stopped. Hopefully the tile will come in and we can get the bathroom done then move in afterwards.
This is just trifles, but like the story of Michaelangelo when asked how he knew what to carve out of the marble, he said "I remove only that which is not what I am carving." I know that God is doing the same in my life. He is removing that which is not what is really me. Sometimes its the big things, he uses a jack hammer, or hammer and chisle. Most often, its the small things that must be removed and the methods are steady deliberate and uncomfortable. Running water, sandpaper, or sandblasting to remove the roughness around the edges... Boy do I need this...
And like a good Father, God is providing all that I need...
