After 8 months in the new house, we hung the first thing on the wall. Surprise!? Well, that just about sums up the way our life has been for the last 1 1/2 years. Settled...not really sure if we know what that means anymore, but we are trying to get back to some normalcy. Ministry anywhere seems to me to be just like waiting on the top of a slide ready to go down, the thrill comes when you go down, but then you have to trudge up the stairs again to get the thrill sliding down. And have you ever got on a slide and your legs or pants stuck so you just scooted down? Well, I feel like I am about half way down the slide, but I may need to scoot back up to the top to make it down.

Another trip to Muncie to get Aunt Carroll settled this Sunday. Hopefully will be getting her settled in the assisted living facility she was in before. Saturday is the annual Zerbe reunion in Kokomo, near where Grandma and Grandpa Zerbe lived. Many cousins come far and wide...D.C., Missouri, Wisconsin, Michigan, S.C., Indiana etc. Not sure who will be there this year, last year we planned to go and the Erica and the twins were here, but it was in Southern Indiana, so opted out. Boy, no one let us forget that they weren't happy about that. Oh well, again can't please everyone!!!!

My loving husband is so patient. I love him so...we are both so tired, I guess old age! Ha! Don't laugh...I am, but that is because I know it is true. We need a resting vacation more than anything, wish we knew when that will happen.
