Praise leader at our church, David Chrane keeps his hair shaved short. His three year old son worries about harmful rays burning his dad's head and finds random items to cover his head such as leaves or the latest, sweet and low packets. He took 30 or so and covered his dad's head and after standing back and taking a look, he said, "it looks good dad, lead praise this way.

My granddaughter Ilon Rain Roepke, my BFF, likes to be "tittled" when she is going down for a nap.

I bought Izzie a loaf pan for $4.95 and she said, "no way! Sweet!"

Gonna have to find a way to make moving to our new "boring off -white apartment" (a smaller version of our current "boring off-white apartment"),more fun. Suggestions welcome within reason. (Neither of us want to paint said boring walls as we will have to repaint in 11 months.) Maybe some new art work like "La La Love You"?

People from my last high school have looked me up on Face Book and asked to be my friend. "don't make me hit my friend!" what movie???? anyhoo... I am old. Don't remember much from high school. Thought I would always remember everything. I was wrong. Hope I was nice to people. Hope I told them about Jesus.

I do remember some people and like that they have checked in with me after so many years. Good friends, Mike C., Jerry Y sent notes I and hope to get in touch with a few other friends that made an impact on my short time there.

Praying for my sweet D and G who are now waiting on the Lord for direction and wisdom as they meet a new crossroad in life. God is GOOD and thankful he knows exactly where you are and where you need to be. Can't wait to hear the plan.

Okay... random thoughts on a non random day.

"This is the day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it."

Later peeps.

"It's Moving Time"

First, go re-watch one of my favorite You Tube videos from Flight of the Concordes, "It's Business Time." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WGOohBytKTU

Then, kind of sing while you re-read the title of this blog.... and chuckle while you think "what does this have to do with anything?" Well, we are moving again and I just wanted to make the announcement a bit more fun as the move itself is not. Just moving down the street to "The Bluffs". Sounds kind of exotic and beautiful in a desert kind of way doesn't it? (but they aren't) This is the year of "SAVING MONEY" so that we can go travel to see our family that is far away and continue remodeling the lakehouse. A year of practical living and fun times. Thankful to have a decision made and that we don't have to move ourselves. "We're movin on up..." (if you are my age, you are singing.."to the east side")
