In a new community it helps that you become part of its every day happenings. <br />It is also amazing to have another path to explore and the strength of purpose to make it happen. <br />It sounds as if your life is opening up once again. You made it happen!<br />Regards and all the best for 2019<br />Janineminwkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08487584020742239991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6915998197494794177.post-30385508502465644592018-12-23T07:04:18.857-08:002018-12-23T07:04:18.857-08:00Merry Christmas dear Nancy!

Hope to hear more about your down-sizing and starting from scratch in Texas. I'm just about ready to sell everything we have over the next year, sell the big house and find a small one-story place when I retire. Glad you have found a spot in a library since I'm a librarian myself. Thanks for blogging.star519https://www.blogger.com/profile/01220714351413317799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6915998197494794177.post-61408725335951575802018-11-05T09:10:30.527-08:002018-11-05T09:10:30.527-08:00Hi, Nancy.

I'm so glad to hear that you are settling in nicely, I was in awe of your big brave move, and it turned out well. A job at the library sounds amazing. I'm just thinking that the ideal job would be one third library, one third craft store and one third tea-shop. Is there such a job going? I'll apply immediately. And a special thank you for sharing Dennis' work, it is amazing, he is so talented and just the style I like.

It is always a bit tough to be in transition, and it will be great when you have your own home again, so wonderful to see that Dennis has found such a unique and special way to share his artwork! I've been through Comfort countless times, as my husband's family has lived there and also in Kerrville. I'm thrilled to hear about the good things happening in your life! And indeed, blogging is a beautiful thing. I've not been blogging much this summer, but hoping to get back into it this fall and winter. When the sun shines, I am outside enjoying it. Summer passed all too quickly, but the brilliant season of fall is upon us now, so beautiful. Many blessings to you :) Marilyn @ MountainTopSpicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00600290895531484438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6915998197494794177.post-87005527971908576762018-09-09T17:04:54.485-07:002018-09-09T17:04:54.485-07:00Hi Sherry :)

It is always enjoyable hearing about your new adventure in Texas. Wow! You're working again, I am sure that the environment of a library would be extremely interesting. It sounds like Denis has also found a wonderful outlet to sell his work and enjoy interacting with art lovers. His space is gorgeous as well as his work. <br />We have been busy putting up our garden vegetables, but also had time to get away on a camping trip. Life is good. Oh, we had Autumn's girls here for two weeks this summer and it was wonderful. We made so many great memories that will last a lifetime. We even took them to their first rodeo. We decked them out in cowboy hats and boots and they looked adorable. Autumn said that when her girls got off the plane dressed like cowgirls . . . that they looked so cute she began to cry. <br />Have you purchased cowboy boots yet?<br />I treasure our friendship and know exactly what you mean about the mystery of blog-land friendships. It's very hard to explain to someone who has not experienced it. <br />God bless you, dear friend.<br />Connie :)Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08187302890702147585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6915998197494794177.post-4827482937036927692018-09-08T13:48:39.032-07:002018-09-08T13:48:39.032-07:00Happy to read your update!!

I've been thinking of you lately and wondered how life was treating you. A library is a wonderful place to serve and meet others. It sounds like a great thing for you! We're at the coast for a few days and without reliable internet. I'm at a little clubhouse near where we are parked so I can keep in touch with family and friends.

It is amazing. I am glad you like your new state. I know it was a hot summer as I have blog family there. LOL. Yes, we love our blog friends, they become like distant family. To me blogging helps me through winter and lonely times. I feel as if I am telling my friends about my life and family. I love reading about all of you. I prayed for , cried about , laughed with ,and thanked my blog family and friends. Please stay with us.
