I know everyone is probably sick of hearing the tales of my migration to Virginia, so I promise this will be the end of the story..but the ending is so good, I just had to share it!! As you know, yesterday I came into my new house to find a fountain pouring forth from under the sink where a pipe had burst. I quickly called a plumber who talked me through the process of getting the water turned off and he promised he would come out today and fix my mess. He was better than his word, showing up bright and early and jumping right in to make the repairs. While we were talking, I noted that I was going to have to have help with rennovating my new house and he said that he had recently started working with a contractor who is new to the area, but who is really good and a very decent, Christian man. He gave the man a call and found out that he was indeed interested in looking at my house...and that he is almost my next door neighbor!!!! Seriously, he can just about walk to my house! He is just wonderful and the best part is that he will be able to keep an eye on our house for us when we are in Florida. He mentioned that his pastor is also a professional painter, so I will have yet another Christian man working in my house. This was certainly a "God thing." I picked my plumber out of the book because he had a Scripture verse noted in his yellow pages ad (Romans 10:9) and I hoped that this would mean he was a fair person (which he definitely IS! His bill today was remarkably low for all the work they did!!) The plumber, in turn, recommended the contractor because HE is a good man. The contractor is recommending the painter because HE is a Christian! Everything flowed right through the Word of God. The so-called "disaster" yesterday was really minor compared to what it could have been...and the result was to draw all the right people in for the job. I know I am blessed and will be able to sleep good tonight. Like I said, I will stop going on and on about my house stories...but this was too good not to pass on. hugs to all, Kat

Kat, I am really enjoying all your stories about the house and your move. It brings a little laughter in our lives, and I hope you reconsider and kept continuing informing us of all that is going on.

Kat Please don't stop keeping us informed..I enjoy reading the updates and hearing about your migration. Sounds like maybe an early house warming peach cobbler may be in need soon..

Kat, the broken pipe was supposed to happen to you so you could find the good help you need. So, the house will start looking like a home soon but not soon enough for you I am sure. Don't forget the housewarming party you will need to have. With the stream outside, you can drop the watermelons in it and get them nice and cold! So much better than the refrigerator. We are heading to Florida by the weekend. I am taking warm clothes and cool clothes, who knows what the weather will do this winter. Today, here in Md. it was short sleeve warm but windy. I loved it.
