Moving

That odd building is a hoot ! For those who don’t know someone thought they were building a skyscraper (1919 ) and it was built at 480 inches instead of 480 feet / . They didn’t live in TX so got swindled !
So this happened - our sellers are trying to back out of the sale because they don’t like our inspector . ( he did trespass and went outside without calling her first ) . In the meantime my Eye is twitching and I feel kind of unwell . Please pray the Lord will grace me with more years . I’d really appreciate that . I don’t know if this is stress ( though I am remarkably calm ) or a bad diet for the past few weeks or what . 🤨

Well, it’s been almost two months and we moved into our new house today. The seller of the first house we were going to buy did back out, and we ended up with a home from people that my daughter knew and they Waited till we moved to town before they put it on the market so we could have first refusal ! Talk about a totally different experience then the first house - so we are very grateful.
I would appreciate prayer- I don’t have any plans here except to be part of my daughters life with the grandchildren but I need to meet people and do things. My husband works from home so that doesn’t help. And I want to accomplish some things and reach some goals and be useful.
I’m hoping this is our last move and we’ll be here till God calls us to sleep.

Hi Octoberose,
In a city that size you may find some interest in public service opportunities or with the public school if that is your interest. My wife and I have been retired since 2005 and apart from family we are quite bored to live in a nice quite neighborhood with no one bothering us at all. (smile)
On a side note I wonder if you would care to share what your husband's work is.
Is there anything you could do to contribute?
On another point in a larger city the newspaper may have some requests for help of interest even it is part time..
Keep a good thought and something fun and beneficial will come to you.
Indiana Bob

Thank you Bob, I’m smiling at your response. Newspaper, hmm, that could be interesting.
After a military career, my husband is an online college professor so if you’re taking some classes online you might just get him as your teacher !
This house is very quiet but I’m use to a neighborhood full of children. But the children here, twenty five minutes away, are three of our grandchildren. My daughter has started homeschooling and I’m gong to help with the younger children when the group of homeschool moms meet once a week in the fall.
I’m pretty peaceful about this move which is only God because I gave up a lot to come here. But I’m just sure we should be here and that it means less to live in a beautiful place then to have a beautiful life.

Thanks for your interesting reply.
With all we have learned about public school during this Covid thing I believe that working with children in a home school situation is a work of God for the benefit of the children. I am confident that your contribution will be of great value to each of them.
I do take some informal training on the internet, but at my age and mental limit it is slow and just a little at a time.
Thanks again for your information.
Warm regards, Bob age 86 July 12th ;)
