Honey, the graphic alone for Summer Shorts is worth it to be here.

Your wit and wisdom shine through everything....this Boomer thanks you.

Here we are the midlife transition, and I'm praying for us what I pray for my kids and our parents a prayer from Praying the Scriptures for Your Children: Lord, you know where we should live and where we should move. Lead us to that appointed place. It's taking some pressure off. As always, thanks for your words.

What a beautiful prayer, thank you for sharing! "Lead us to that appointed place."

Love the short story idea this summer! I read Uprooted last year!

I have thought of you as I read it!

20 years--wow! If that were the case everywhere, I'd never be considered "from" anywhere. I'm 45 and I've moved somewhere near 25 times in my life. 9 years is the longest I've lived in any one place.

I can’t imagine moving that much!

it's a lot! but also maybe why I do actually tell people that I'm not from anywhere...

And here, 20 years is nothing. If your kin can't be traced back to the founders, then you are and forever will be an auslander. Knowing that clears up a lot.
