CHANGES

Hello All,Again it's been awhile and again i seem to run out of time,what an excuse but you know what they say ,an excuse is better then none.The weather is very nice here and almost a bit to warm for the time of year, but i'm not complaining.
We went and did something big yesterday. the last time we were going camping we thought to get an early start and got in the truck at 7:45 a.m and turned the key and it just went click,click and so called caa or aaa what ever country you are in and they came about an hour later and towed it to the shop. This was the second time this happened so we had to put in a new start moter. The truck is 8 years old but very low milage. We are not impressed, however my hubby and i have talked which is good in any situation ha ha.We said maybe get a new truck? and trade in the car and the truck? well you know how that goes! Now last week we were so busy and just talked over the pros and cons..You see we have all winter before something really should be done.But yesterday we went out to see how much this would set us back,and ohhh that is a lot of money.We were in the city and thought to get a feel for how much we might get for a trade in and were very disapointed,However they showed us a pretty fine truck,with all the gagets.It even has a camara to back up to the trailer,and it drove so nice.then we asked them to make us a deal and see if we could come to some agreement.They made a very compelling deal and we went out for lunch at two and talked. My hubby was impressed and said i think we should go for it! I am usually the one that says lets wait awhile ,but this time i was right there with him. So the story goes we went and did it.Hopefully this works out for us. We traded in the car and now we are going to sell our truck privately. We spent some money on it last year by putting on new struts and brakes and brake linings and last month a new start moter so it drives just fine, but they were not going to give us enough for it,and we wanted a bit heavier truck to pull the trailer.Our old truck has all the gagets also but is a bit lighter and does not have the quad cab but one and a half cab and this presents a problem,as our grandchildren are getting to tall to sit in the back.So this will solve two problems. Today is the after shock,and we are going to have to get used to it a bit yet hoping we did the right thing.
Well so much for my news! I just red some of your posts and i hear you are all doing pretty good.Toodie you are making my brain work, i seem to be unable to respond to your posts,maybe you could guide me a bit.Remember my blog name? Thats me LoL.
Have a great week you all and God bless!

Last vacation

Hello every one!
We just came home late yesterday from our last vaction this year. We were camping this past week in the U.S. and what beautiful weather we had to finish the camping season.I felt so blessed as we just sat outside in the afternoons and even got a bit tanned again.And guess what? i got all my Christmas shopping done. I shopped until i dropped and now all i have to do is wrap them!
I just finished reading about you all and caught up to all the news.It's nice to know you all seam to be keeping fine!
Now i'm going to get busey as there seems to be so much to do this year before Christmas and time just seems to fly by. I will take it a step at a time and i'm sure i'll get thru it all,and if i don't it will have to wait.....
Hoping you all have a great weekend and God Bless
Hugs Margaret

Encouragement

Hello All
I had the nicest supprise today as i opened my blog.There was a complete stranger comenting to my post as i wasn't sure about windows live.Now she didn't have to pespond or care but she did,and that shows me it's a person with something more then just a regular joe.So i clicked on her blog and there i found someone that walkes in true faith with her Lord.I read her entire post and just couldn't get enough of it.I was encouraged for the day and thought to write a few words about my friends on bloggers.You all are such good friends and sometimes it seems as if i know who and what you are all about.I am encouraged by you, i feel your hurts and pray for you,i feel you joys and thank God He brought joys to you and to me! Sometimes people have a lot of pain and i can identify with you,i guess that is called Friendship!We all have our struggels in this life but we also know that we may bring them before Gods throne and He will supply all our needs, maybe not as we want them but as He knows what is best for us,maybe not at the time we think we need it but never to late,and all in His time As i write this post i realize how blessed i am.My Mother had a plaque that read true friends are like diamonds presious and rare.How true that statement is as i look foreward to getting to know more fellow travelers.
I hope you all have a blessed Sunday as again we have the privilege to hear God's word spoken to us so that we may share with others the good news of salvation.
God Bless Margaret
