where am I?

nowhere and everywhere my friend, nowhere and everywhere...

Well I suppose it's time for me to give some account of myself and my earthly doings... (and you thought I didn't have a life!) and I probably should tell you that we've moved... yes actually we've been here for a month now last week... I would of told you but I've been moving boards, clearing brush, digging ditches, waqking weeds, mowing lawns, breaking down unnecessary structures,digging holes to make fences, pulling out rocks and filling their places back in, raking leaves... and everything it takes to reclaim a three acre property thats been abandoned (mostly) for six years... or more... I'm not quite sure...still, we've whipped it into shape, it's a pitty we didn't take before and after pictures as then you could see the transformation of this place... It's surprising how the Lords helped us get so far... I hardly recognize the place from wence it was before... Don't worry we're only fifteen minutes away from our former lodging so it's not like we've upped and gone off to Timbuktu(no matter how much it feels like it)... either way we love it out here(not to mention all the lack of idleness) and are eagerly awaiting what the Lord has in store for us and this property during the offensive...whatever that may be...

June was also a significant month, as my other niece, lindsay, came to stay with us for reasons I do not wish to state here... nobody wants to gossip after all... she is a bit difficult, but not as bad as gabrielle, though she does have her faults with food... at least she can be left by herself, no?still it's nice to have a kid around again... someone to tell stories to, to watch all those old kids movies you love but are too "grown up" to watch with, someone to tell a bit of your knowledge to, to go on walks with, to think of new and interesting things to do... to teach, watch out for and protect... to love... Despite all the difficulties, the time it takes, and the annoying little things... in the end I've found that those are the things caretakers miss the most...


haha! oh yes...

Happy Birthday Nathalie!!!

And you thought I had forgotten...(I think?) I actually did call you, but you were not to be reached>_>... still I hope your not mad at me... I do have a reason for waiting two whole weeks! I did you a picture!!! only I've seem to have misplaced my flash drive... nonetheless, as soon as it can be conjured I shall send it to you and post it up here... and now that I'm free from my digital duties I shall start work on your other requests :D.... in the mean time I want to leave this allegory of us for you to contemplate


Know that I feel this way every day

Cant Wake Up (lyrics by Nicola)

Without you
My mornings seem so grey
Dark and bleak like my face
When for so long Im laying without you here

Without you
I'm lonely like an empty room
Like an empty heart
Just waiting for you to come back again

(Chorus)
So how can I wake up?
When your not lying next to me
How can I get up?
When theres nothing real to see

Without you
I'[m falling in love with your absence
Just thinking of you
Wondering is this just a dream?

But how could I make up something so pretty?

(Chorus)
And How can I wake up?
When your not lying next to me?
How can I get up?
When theres nothing real to see?
LIKE LOVE

I love you dearly and pray for you... May you pass from strength to strength in this new chapter of your life... and may we find our places, together or apart...

WRITE!!!

  3. I figured since it needs to change anyway I might as well do it for some legitimate reason... I just couldn't bear the thought of cutting it otherwise... and besides she is really, REALLY, erked by it... and since I'm really bad with gifts, I figures it wouold be really sweet to give her something for her SIXTEENTH birthday that she really wants... but don't tell her... I really want it to be a surprise when she comes home(it is on a monday) to my cropped head...at least I don't think she reads my blog anyway... so please make this work for me specifically you gwen:D
