There's No Place Like Home

Anyone whose life consists of being constantly on the move can agree that we hold the term "home" loosely.  I even have a sticky note on my laptop that reminds me each day to "be a tent dweller" in this world where God often has plans that differ from our own!

In November I found myself in Ontario with two weeks to find a new house-to-become-home and God was so gracious to place this stone beauty in my path.  It's old and has some quirks but I have a thing for quirks so we go well together. :)  Many have asked to see pictures once I settled in, but that's a work in progress so here is "home" as it looks at the moment. 

    

 I live in one of three apartments here...mine is the grey door with the four windows to the left, and the apartment goes into the two stories on the right with a basement (in warmer November days).

 Entry way out the door on the left, dining room in the middle and living room to the right.

 One of two bedrooms...it looks better in this "before" picture than it does at the moment!

 Two acres out back...a winter wonderland (taken this morning)!  I'm so grateful for Art in the apartment next to me who takes care of all the snow blowing.  

My parents bought me a Keurig as a house warming gift and it's been a good friend on many a cold Ontario winter day.  

I've already been enjoying getting to know my neighbours a bit as well as reconnecting with many old friends in the area who have made this transition wonderful.  Some great friends and co-workers from Papua New Guinea are just on the next block (closer than when we lived together at Interface!) and my sister and her family are only a few minutes drive away so I'm super grateful for so many special people in my life so close by.  

Here's to another home and more memories to be made!
