We're still here

  Yes, yes, I know it has been a while since I last blogged- I do try to update once a week, but this time it has been more like 2 or 3 weeks. We are still here, still serving, living, & enjoying it. It looks like we'll stay put for the next month since we made 2 trips to Lanc. in Aug. The first trip was our usual once a month visit, the 2nd was for the baptism service. One can only travel back & forth so often until you say "That's it, I'm staying put for a while". So for Sept.- no planned trip to Lanc.
  What have we been up to?? I have got the kids back in school- so that's my morning. From 8 or 8:30 to 12:30 I try to juggle- teaching Shay & Matt, doing laundry, checkin emails etc., & keeping my 1 yr. old and 3 yr. old happy. When I do get time for myself, there's household chores to do & Haft responsibilities- so really there is no "me" time. Oh well- I love my job & my family,  so it's a win win.
  Dutch has been busy skidding, cutting, & stacking logs. He has been doing some small repair jobs on the Shepherd's Cottage (one of the houses here), as well as helping Gregg with the grounds keeping (mostly weed-eating).
  Dutch & I have been meeting weekly w/ Bruce & Joan for "coaching sessions". Trying to find our "life purpose", what we were really created to do/be for God. We have to set goals & all that good stuff. It's been exciting & difficult. We are not the "planning" kind of people, so putting plans on paper & then acting on them is not easy for us. Ideas & talking are one thing, "doing" & carrying them out is another.
  On the fun side- we went to Willaimsport w/ my sister Sue & her family on the 22nd. It just happened that the Little League World Series was taking place that week, so we watched a couple games while we were there!! And this week is the Sullivan Co. fair- so I guess we'll go do what everyone else in Sullivan Co. is doing, we'll hang out at the fair one evening or maybe two.
