It has begun!

Crook News—this is too big to save for last.
Note from our realtor, sent Tuesday, 8/16:

Tim has cleared the lot and they chaulked the foundation out today.

Whoo-Hoo! It has begun! I so wish we were there to watch, but we'll be there soon enough. :)

Hook News:
Edging frogged and restarted. Since I'm starting from the beginning, I changed it. I like the change better than what I had, so there was a reason I messed up. ;-) (see below)

My hooks are no longer a dilemma. The Susan Bates (from 1974) I use all the time (both yarn and thread), as well as my Rosewood hooks will travel with me. The balance of my collection I will entrust to the movers.

Crook news continued:
The hall closet is cleaned out. Well, my portion is. LOL! With the exception of 4 jackets, the rest of the stuff crammed in there is Mr. Retired's. HA! It will take him a month of Sunday's to be able to part with those jackets and such.

A Purpose for Everything:

“To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:...
a time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;”—Ecclesiastes 3:1,7, KJV.

Emphasis is mine. As I frogged and redid the edging on my blanket, these verses went through my head. If you read all of Ecclesiastes 3, you'll find there is much more depth to God's Word than I'm sharing here. Maybe you'll find comfort in knowing there is always a reason for what takes place in your life. I often find I don't see the reasons, but I can find peace in knowing that God knows the reason, and He is in control. I hope He is in control of your life.
