Changes...They Are A'Comin'!

So maybe you noticed the blog has been out of sorts...since April 1st. I've had lots to share but have kept quiet because, well, SOUTH AFRICA. Which means getting the house on the market (tiling, laying new sod and new carpet, painting, purging, packing, blah...), raising support, spending time with family (a trip to Kanakuk Kamps, my brother came here for a week and we spent a week with Brian's family in Red River), visas, passports and a whole lot of whatnot. I kept thinking things would slow down and I would have time to blog after the garage sale...or when school ended...or once we cleaned the garage...or once we got the house on the market...

You get my drift.

All that to say, I've made myself stay off here because I can get lost in writing and this summer was really not the time to get lost in anything but the website of South Africa's Home Affairs, trying to figure out visa bureaucracy.

Aside from the triple digit heat that won't quit us, nothing has made me feel more like I was in hell than that website.

I jest, of course.

Sort of.

But as we are spreading the word about our move, this blog address gets published and then people come and they see that the latest and greatest news in our life is imaginary bats.

So I thought I'd drop a little post on here to explain some things.

First, I went batty on April 1st but I didn't go dead.

Second, my sweet friend, Kim, won a blog makeover. And then she generously turned that makeover to me. So, before you know it, this blog is going to get herself a new look.

The good news (for me, at least) is that I expect to get back to writing once the house sells...or once we get rid of everything except what will fit in 10 suitcases...or when school starts again...

You get my drift.

Stay tuned!!!
