this week’s bits

Just a few images from this past week . . .

While our sons helped us move the last things and granddaughter Jayna helped me clean the cabin, daughter Kristen was at the farm cooking homemade Cajun for everyone. She also introduced Bill and me to King Cake — we had seen them for sale since moving to Texas but didn’t know the tradition behind them. And it was yummy — almost as good as her gumbo!

I found the hidden baby (representing the Christ Child) so according to Kristen, I host the next one.

While living at the cabin, I had tried to get bluebonnets to grow on our property but they never germinated — until we were moving out! This one is beginning to bloom right now, either to say goodbye to us or to greet the cabin’s new owners.

With so many extra keys, I decided to keep my own cabin key as a souvenir. (The new owners will probably re-key it anyway.) When our oldest son’s family moved into their new home and they were getting a key made for us, one of our grandsons reminded them to make mine plaid! He remembered that my own key was green plaid so he chose a blue plaid.

After closing on the sale of the cabin, our realtor Myrna Lopez, took us out for lunch. We had a lovely time sharing with each other how the Lord was working in each of our lives. I have a feeling that the cabin attracted so little interest the first 6 months (under a different realtor who had worked very hard to sell it) because the Lord wanted to bless Myrna specifically.
