s’mores in SC

Here we are enjoying a little backyard fire time.

Definitely NOT thinking about the fact that there are creatures in this backyard that never lived in our old backyard.

I’m sure there were NO snakes anywhere near me and certainly not a single spider was at all close by.

Have I mentioned how much I miss my old yard?

New friends and New places

I “met” Mary online on my Disney message forum.  Though our on-line banter was not copious, we had exchanged posts enough that her screen name was clearly on my radar as “someone special” that day when I saw a little map someone made up with everyone’s avatar and geographic location.

Wait – SHE lives near ME?

WELL – turns out that the Butlers aren’t the only people to take advantage of a pandemic to pull up roots and start over somewhere new.

She had been here a lot last summer as she and her family weathered the remote/lockdown life with her SIL and family.  They asked Jesus to show them the way and here she is.

With me.

At Steam Coffee – where we ate yummy food, shared testimonies, and prayed together as only people who have had their world shaken up can pray together.

I look forward to more visits with her.
