From Georgia to Texas

Charles returned to Texas after an all-too brief visit with Belinda in Georgia on Wednesday.  So glad we got some furniture for our Georgia apartment and now it looks like home!  Belinda even tried out the new vacuum cleaner - amazing all the things one needs to set up house!

The top picture is of a  1986 Goebel Hummel figurine from the former West Germany which Belinda got when she lived there.  Charles placed a 'sombrero' which for us reminds us to, "hold on, we're on the move!"  Who knows where we will be this time next year, God is in the details!

New Look at Maple Ridge!

We're slowly, but surely transforming our Georgia apartment into a home!  Charles got in late Sunday night and we spent Monday dodging the rain looking for some furniture for the dining area and living room.  


We found a neat consignment store, The Front Porch of the South, here in Columbus, that has some really neat finds.  We're really happy with with we got and have already christened the table with a rousing game of Scrabble!

We Need Each Other!

Happy New Year!
