I'm Still Here

Hi again, just thought I'd catch up on what's been happening...  My husband and I have moved to a new town and I love it!  The town has only 600 people living in it but the Library (which is only a block away) is right up there with the big leagues.  They have 4 computers for public use.  I usually go there with my lap top to use their wifi.  

My dog of 16.5 years has canine cognitive dysfunction syndrome and it's like living with a dog who has alzheimer's.  Every day is a whole new day.  It's sad because she acts like she no longer knows me.  She's not the same.  But she has a pretty good quality of life so euthanasia is out of the question.

Rural life is great!  Now that I'm retired I do a lot of reading so I got a Nook Color.  I love it.  After I got it I read the Reader's digest review comparing the iPad, Nook and Kindle and I'm pretty please to say that the Nook was rated the best tablet bargain.  Plus I can "borrow" e-books from the library system over cyberspace.  

I've started a Bible Study with 2 ladies in the community.  I hope it grows.  We are studying the book "Prayer begins with Relationship" and are in our 6th month now.  I had prayed for years to get back to my first love and the Lord has been faithful to send me 2 women who remind me of that time in my life.  I've gotten involved with their church's community outreach - a monthly food bank and have been amazed at how much love for their community these women have.  They are living examples of the first few chapters of Acts.

So for today I'm grateful for:

1.  The Library of Carlock, IL

2.  The Town of Carlock, IL

3.  The People of Carlock, IL

4.  Our new home

5.  My old dog.

6.  My new friends and bible study companions.

7.  My neighbor and her daughter

8.  My husband

9.  My old friends

Till next time...
