Retirement, here we come!
We closed this past Monday in an all cash sale on our permanent vacation
home in Saint Joseph, Missouri. In about a year we will be retired.
Stacey from 30+ years in the United States Coast Guard and myself from
25+ years home schooling. Moving to a place where it's more economical
to live on our retirement income and still be debt free. God found this
house for us and Cari Pruessner with United Real Estate Kansas City, Missouri (the best realtor/sister in the world helped Him
out a lot!). Its everything we've dreamed about for a very long time.
4 bedroom 2 1/2 bath on 1.33 acres. The house is in excellent
condition compared to some others Cari Pruessner
went and looked at for us. We are hoping that we found a sweet young
couple to stay in the house for us for the next year and keep it safe
for us until we get there. Retirement, here we come!

Dusting Off
Today
Looking out my window...
This castle is not exactly out my window. It is the Harry Potter castle from Universal Studios. We recently traveled there as a family to spend the day.
I am thinking...
About husband and wife closeness-
About how fast time flies-
About moving-
About things I want to do-
About motivation-
About changing me-
About spiritual-
I am thankful...
For my job. To have the same employer whether you call God my employer or Stacey. I hope both are pleased with my efforts. In just a year or two I could have new hobbies or some other kind of life pursuit when I put my then 10th grader into college.
One of my favorite things...

Chocolate Chip Ice Cream
I am creating...
Baby Quilts
I am wearing...
A super, cute, cuddly lap cat
Can you believe that 1 year ago she was this tiny? Now she is almost 10 1/2 pounds!
I am reading (read) /watching (watched) / listening to
Reading- Nicholas Sparks The Guardian- a stoopid book, too much romance, took 12 chapters just to get into the story, after the "Does he like me?" "Does she like me?" drama (ughhhh)
Watching-In addition to Netflix we recently added Country Road TV and Hallmark Movies Now.

The series Signed, Sealed, Delivered is particularly good . Spoiler alert* have tissues handy
Listening to Home Free sing on YOUTube
I am hoping...
Hoping always that God will bless me with answered prayer.
I am learning...
Working AGAIN on my Bachelors of Biblical Education. Finding it hard to be motivated to work on it daily.
In my kitchen...
This category should be called Pinterest FAIL. Mainly it happens in the baking department. I try to bake low carb and sugar free. Many times the recipes DON'T turn out like the pictures on Pinterest.
In the school room...
My student is working hard to complete the fifth book out of ten for the year. If he completes each 5th booklet before the end of the week, we'll take Friday-Tuesday off.
In my garden...
Post Script...
My sister is wonderfully talented. She is beautiful.
Check out her stuffs.

Cluck-Cluck Hen
I can finally check something off my to-do bucket list. I've always wanted to keep a flock of my own chickens. It's been several weeks now since my manly man started to build me a small coop. It was complete enough on Saturday that I went and got some hens. All total I have 4 chickens, they are Red Star and Rhode Island Reds.
Still recovering after their traumatic capture and re-homing event, I've not gotten any eggs yet.
