Busy...with some inspiration

We have been busy.  

Selling our house (and a very lovely house it is, too).  

And saying lots of prayers and crossing lots of fingers and toes that we get our dream----"Canyon House".

Where we hope to live quietly in the trees with a view of the canyon.

We would appreciate your prayers, crossed fingers, fasts, etc.  :)

I've also been enjoying my parents' extended visit.  It has been heavenly.  

Quite a balm.

Also, very inspired by a few blog posts by Laura Grace Weldon:
