It's a wet and dreary day today. Not much to do but sit inside and try to stay warm.
I have been packing to move to Texas. The move will be the first weekend of February. I will be so glad when it is over and I can start unpacking boxes and organizing the new place.
Hubby left for Texas on New Year's eve. I have been doing the packing all by my self. Not that I'm complaining. I don't mind getting it all done. At least, I know things are packed right. It's just, I'm tired of all the boxes right now.
I 'm looking forward to starting another chapter in my life in a new location. I've never been to Texas before. I'm gonna have to start all over. What a challenge it will be.
Thoughts and Reviews.

2012
It's already the second week of the new year and it has been hectic around here.
The end of last year brought many changes with it. My Husband lost his job here in SC. He wanted to stay with the same company and the only two choices he had was to either move to Pennsylvania or Texas. He didn't much like the snow and he knew it would affect my arthritis so he chose Texas.
He left on the last day of the year, driving to Texas to start his new job. I'm stuck here trying to get everything packed. He found us a place to live over there and now I'm just waiting for him to come back at the end of the month to move me and our stuff there.
I've got most of the stuff packed but it seems like more stuff appears every day. I can't wait to move and start new in a new city and state I've never been to.
I'm leaving behind my daughter and two grandsons and my oldest son. That's the hardest part for me. I am going to miss them so much. I'm not to worried about Shanen (my daughter), because her boyfriend has plenty of relatives around here and she will be taken care of. My son, on the other hand, has had a rough time of things. He bought a camper and had it set up in a mobile home park and he's had problems with the roof leaking. He always seems to have things go wrong for him for no reason. He tries so hard to have every thing be okay, but they always seem to backfire on him.
My youngest son, Russell, is moving with us. He's an over the road trucker so he won't be there often, but, at least he will have a place to go to when he's on home time.
I haven't been blogging much but I'm gonna try to change that. I have lots of books that I have to read once we are moved and organized that I want to post reviews about. It will also be nice to blog about what's been happening in my life. I just have to figure out how to post photos to my blog and I will be set.
So, for now, I will stop and get back to packing. Have a good day.

Books, Books and more Books
Went to Wal Mart today and purchased two new Amish books. This is on top of the 15 Amish books that I purchased the other night at Barnes and Noble. I just can't help myself, I love to read. I've already finished 3 of the books that I bought the other night.
I've been trying to write a review of each book after I finish reading. I hope I'm doing a good job of it. I only have one follower so far but hopefully I'll get more. I'm trying.

A Time to Heal
I just finished reading A Time to Heal by Barbara Cameron. It was a wonderful book. It's the second in her Quilts of Lancaster County series. I haven't read the first book yet, but I didn't need to read it to understand this book.
A Time to Heal is a very emotional book, in my opinion. One of the main characters has Post Traumatic Stress Dissorder. Reading about his flash back and all that he had been thru was very enlightening for me.
This book, to me, was about family and trusting in God. I have questioned God in my life but it gave an insight to how to deal with what's happening and to trust that He will take care of things in His way and not mine. I can't wait to read the first book and the remaining books in the series. I highly recommend this book.

Falling To Pieces. Part 2
Yesterday I had received a book that I had won in a contest. I was so excited to start reading it as I had never read anything by the author, and I had heard it was a good book. If you like to read about the Amish and like a mystery, then I would highly recommend this book. It is Falling to Pieces, the first in the Shipshewana Amish Mystery Series by Vannetta Chapman.
It was a combination of Amish and English with a mystery incorporated in. It made me laugh, think, wonder and it even made me cry. From the very first page I was hooked. I didn't want to put it down.
When I read a book, if I can't picture myself right there, then I don't consider the book all that good. With Falling to Pieces, from the very first page, I was there, I was in the garden with Daisy. I was riding in an Amish buggy. The more I read, the more I could feel myself being there through it all. This book is about friendship, family, courage, helping others and faith. I am so looking forward to reading more books by Vannetta Chapman.

Grandson sleepover
I had my grandson, Aubrey, spend the night last night. It was fun but I can't do it too often. He is a handful. He got mad because I wouldn't go to bed when he wanted me to yet when I was ready for bed, he wasn't. He finally fell asleep about 1am while watching RV. He loves that movie, along with a bunch of other ones.
He woke up about 9 this morning with a big smile on his face. We stayed in bed until about 10 watching RV again.
Aubrey played outside most of today. He got a hold of the water hose and proceeded to get the front yard flooded. He was mud from head to toe. He even went across the street and bugged the neighbor for a little while. He finally came in the house about 3 and took a nap without being told to.
My daughter, Shanen, came over today and helped me do some cleaning. We're getting ready to have some yard sales this summer and I had a bunch of stuff that I needed to box up for them. She even helped me organize my computer room and closet. I don't know what I'd do without her.
Baby Lorrance slept most of the morning, so we got a lot done. He decided to wake up as Aubrey was falling asleep. He is such a good baby.
