Florida

sorry no new picture today... camera packed in U-Haul on route to Florida with friend Rich Gardner...and who knows where my computer is?!  It does not seem real yet that i have moved to Florida! maybe after my stuff gets moved into the apartment... more tommorrow!

LAST NIGHT

My last night in Strabane... doesn't seem real that I am moving away...but then I think of those three sweet grandkids waiting for me in Florida!

...And the wonderful people of the newly named Orlando Presbyterian Church... and the grand adventure God has in store for us. Yes, I am headed to Florida tomorrow! 

HELPING HAND

Any guess what these resourceful women
are doing?






Mary Ann Chadwick, my hairdresser, her neice and a customer were helping to unlock my car - after I locked the keys in it! Yes, that is a plant pole being stuck through my partially opened window... they leveraged it to unlock the door!

My heros for the day!!!

How will you help out someone today?

"LINDA"

Yes your first name must be "Linda" in order to join this Dinner Club! About 4 years ago we began with five "Lindas" and now we average 10-15 at each gathering. Every 3-4 months the Lindas sit down for a lovely dinner and conversation. New Lindas are always joining ... this was my last time with these wonderful women, but the group will continue on with ongoing and new leadership.

LINA HIXSON'S PEOPLE

Here is a change in pace...
no birds or horses or landscapes...just Lina Hixson and her "people"! Which includes Shawna Hixson {second from the right} who is looking for a teaching position after finishing Penn State with honors!
...Just saying :-)

MOVING INTO THE CORNERS

Haley Goodwill puts "Leo" through his paces in the Mitchell's indoor arena. Take note how she moves him into the corner... look at his right back leg crossing over the left to ensure he bends into the curve. You can't see it, but Haley is working hard to train her mount. She is giving signals with her back, legs and hands...when needed her spurs and hand whip... all quiet yet powerful directions.

Makes me ponder ...how well am I taking quiet / powerful directions from God? Am I moving into the corners or just taking short cuts?
