Here's what I think about it....

Tuesday, July 27, 2010

Today my husband packed two suitcases for a trip to Ukraine.

In one there are books in English that I am sending to a foster mother there, pain and allergy medicine for children, baby clothes for friends' newborns, peanut butter crackers, books on economy and accounting for one of the foster dads and various other items.

So far there are no clothes in the suitcase.

He has gone off to weigh this suitcase and the luggage of four other team members who will be traveling with him. One has filled her suitcase with donated baby clothes to leave in an Abandoned Baby ward in Simferopol. I wonder where she is packing her own clothes.

Another has a suitcase full of craft ideas for a kids' camp one day at Project Pilgrim. Where is she putting her clothes?

There are some unanswered questions here. And that's what I think about it.

Welcome

The most important thing about me that you might want to know is that I am a Christian. Unapologetically. You'll not have to wonder when you read from day to day or occasionally what world view I'm coming from.

That said I have lived in four states and now make my home in Middle America, in tornado alley...without a basement...thus my world view.

Lucky me to have traveled to eleven foreign countries and shame on me for not knowing any other language well enough to do more than say 'please' and 'thank you' in any of them.

I pig out on Junior Mints and am healthier now that my favorite soft drink has added vitamins to their formula.

The family? Two daughters, delights in every way and four grand daughters, ditto that. A near-perfect son-in-law (but only since no one can be really perfect) and a cat named Kat Karson, rescued from the animal shelter.

Oh yes, Jim, my good friend and husband. He's sort of retired but is still an attorney and thought it was very funny when he put a link on my blog to his favorite home-cooked recipes and then when I clicked on it it found it was empty. He is funny and wise, a reconciler and all-around good guy.

We spend a lot of time at soccer games, track meets and choral concerts.

I'm mostly retired also. I read, volunteer as a child advocate in the local court system, teach at the church and speak where ever people will gather to listen. My daughter and I lead a book discussion group and I play percussion in one of the church's worship bands.

I follow the Indianapolis Colts, the Cleveland Cavs, world soccer, and especially Big Ten football and Ohio State.

I try never to miss The Office and realize I've worked with or been every character on the show.
