Off To The Farm
The following words caught my attention, "Forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before..."
It's the secret of our Western economic success. We push ahead. Recently I read that as compared with the European workforce, a US worker takes far fewer vacation days/hours. Unbelievably many Americans go for years without ever seeing a day off the job.
We're going to "the farm" tomorrow to stay for a while...the first time in three years. I've avoided that place because sad and depressing things that happened there. Philippians 3 tells me to look ahead, reach out, and start running. What do you think?

I think that you're going to make new memories and there will be some sadness and poignancy (like that newly coined word?), but I also think that there will be great fun and new things to discover with Benny and Sadie.
I'll be thinking of you all at the farm.
Well, by now the "go to the farm" thing is out of control. We've been just about ready to leave umpteen times and I've backed out umpteen times. Today Benny looked at me soulfully and asked, "Ahno, do you really just not want to go to the farm?"
As of today, we're leaving for the farm on July 10. I have promised that I will not back out again. The most recent delay is due to the fact that on weather.com, it showed ten straight days of rain at the farm's zip code.
Plus there are a lot of PG Wodehouse books at the farm that we haven't seen for years. We should go for that, if nothing else.
absolutely! must go for the PG Wodehouse!! I am looking forward to hearing of the adventures and glad that you have a date -- it's right there - on your blog *smile*
