My dear fellow bloggers,
Art is blogging again so go check out his latest post where you can learn first hand how things are going and to find a special thanks for the support you gave.
Since I posted that you pray and support him a few wonderful things are also happening at my end. Divine intervention? Believers or skeptics? Free will, right?
Yesterday we received a purchase offer for our fire wrecked house. We've decided to sell 'as is' so we can move forward. We are accepting the offer. Rebuilding has become too stressful at our age. There's too much involved in the hiring and the supervision of a reconstruction worksite.
Then on that very same day we heard from our lawyer. There may be a resolution in the works for our insurance claim sometime this June. Yeah!! It'll be three years on March 6th since the fire event. Closure is long overdue. I'm praying that it will finally come to a conclusion.
When it's settled we hope to buy a smaller place, maybe a condo near a big park with a pond. Buddy and I love walking and cycling in a natural setting. Winter will be over soon. Time to enjoy the nicer weather in a new location. HOPEFULLY.
Here's a family moment so you can see hubby's pride and joy.
Today hubby is 71 and we're going to celebrate by dining out. Buddy is happy because it's a birthday party and he loves to eat out. We'll meet up with the extended family. The new bride, my niece, is in town from Winnipeg and we'll get a chance to catch up. Can't wait.
Our tattoo artist is at my side. Buddy's with the bride and tall groom. Hubby's with his 'geek', our writer... He's a happy dude who enjoys a cigar now and then. Tonight might be one of those thens.....
The universe is a magical place and I firmly believe that everything really is connected and the power of prayer is real. Thank you, and congratulations on the closure with the house.

Happy February!
Hope your hubby had a wonderful birthday. He certainly was with his favorite people. Great family photo. Did he get that cigar before the night was over? Thanks for sharing your family photos with us. Love the wedding photo.
ReplyDeleteFantastic! Sounds like a lot of good things are in the works. I'm so pleased for you.
ReplyDeleteThat is good news about your home..God does have his own timeing. Also glad to hear your friend is blogging again and happy birthday to your husband. :)
ReplyDeleteHave a great celebration and congratulations to your husband from one who also enjoys a good cigar now and then and would welcome an excuse for a "then". Perhaps I can tell my wife that it is a friend's birthday.
ReplyDeleteA condo is a good choice for us "older folk", usually no yard maintenance to worry about, for one thing.
ReplyDeleteI hope you had a wonderful time and I like the family photo. Glad to hear about the house and maybe soon you will have a new place.
