Furniture

Over the years we have developed some distinctive taste in furniture.  Pretty rustic, laid back.

As we are preparing to move we have put a living room set on lay-away that will more closely match our style. 

Since our rental home has built-ins we knew we would need an entertainment center.  Brian also needs a desk (no, he doesn't share well!).  And David wanted some bedroom furniture....

Well, the Craigslist Kings, aka David and Brian, went to work.  In three days we found a wormwood desk that is great; a bedroom set for David that includes two dressers, two nightstands and the bed frame AND an entertainment center that is better than we could have imagined!  All for $500.  Is God good or what?

Before we move we will sell some of our current living room set, single bedroom set and other miscellaneous stuff.   It is so amazing to watch the furniture come together. 

God is so much more than good to us.  Thank You Abba!!

Colorado

The last week of April Brian, Vicki and David headed to Colorado.  Brian and David took part in a Tres Dias weekend.  Vicki hung out with Joyce.

The trip up there was beautiful.  Lots of snow on the mountains, ice on the lake. 
The view from Rex and Joyce's home is magnificent to say the least!  We arrived on Wednesday.  It rained Thursday - beautiful and a stark contrast from the 105 in Phoenix the day before we left.  It is so relaxing just to be there - no television, no news.  Just resting in Abba Father's arms.  Something Vicki desperately needed!!

On the way home we found this little park in Placerville.  We also stopped at Four Corners, my how that has changed.  When I was a little girl it was a marker - that is it.  Fifteen years ago we took the children there and there were some booths set up - now they have built structures with a snack bar, nice bathrooms and a Visitor Center scheduled.

We have such amazing family and friends up in Colorado.  It is always special to spend time with them. 

God is so good to us!!
