Constant Change

    There are those days when you just feel like you can't get anything finished, and each time something is almost finished your day's plans get changed and you have to go do something else.  Have you had one of these lately?
    Well, we've been having almost constant change here in MO, particularly in the last month or so.  Among the changes are these;
-We changed the hedgehog's name.  He is now Sir Lance-a-lot   :-D  And we went from having 1 hedgehog to 4 (that's Thistle, above).
-Our fish tanks increased from 4 to 10 (each person MUST have their own, in case you wondered).
-My siblings have been having birthdays and giving me new numbers to remember.
-I removed my shop from Etsy, since I will not be able to keep up with it for a while.
-My life has changed from "crazily boring" to "crazily busy", because...
-I'm changing from "stay at home sister" to "out-of-state volunteer"!
   Yep, that's right.  I'm officially leaving home!  Preparation is being made for my departure, and the entire house is in an uproar.  I will go mid. August, Lord willing, and will be serving as a Kitchen Aid at a nursing/convalescent facility.  I'm excited and nervous!
   I'm of the opinion that my blogging is exceptional.  Exceptionally erratic, that is.  :-)   I've been blogging about once a month, although I skipped again last month.  And I'm wondering how I'll find time to update my blog at all once I leave home.  Please have patience with me, and thank you for visiting!
   Here are a couple of semi recent photos. Feel free to laugh!

  














This is me, and my dog Viva.  I have no idea what I was laughing at, or why I'm apparently "holding down the dog", but my sister caught this photo and I had to share.  I think Viva was laughing too!

"I couldn't find a comfortable position on the couch, so I thought I'd try the sink..."  This is Iris, the family cat.  She sleeps about 20 hrs. a day.  So much for cat naps!
Clouds have been few and far between here in central MO.  Aren't these beautiful?!

 That's all for today!  May you have a blessed week, full of confidence and strength!
