This morning, bright and early, the family set off on a 10 day trip with a team of visitors. There are 15 of them all together and we've been pretty flat-out in prep for their time. It's been really good and really such a pleasure to host this group of students.
Now I'm looking around as the dust of their departure settles and making a 180 degree turn toward a whole different task. Much as I would have loved to join them on this trip, I am writing toward a deadline of the end of August and I can't actually afford the time.
They will have an amazing adventure, I am certain. They will see and experience and learn and grow so much. May it be beautiful; a lasting blessing in their lives.
Heather, above, blew me a kiss as they pulled out of the drive.
I'll be missing them so much!

Ah, I know that feeling... when the house suddenly empties and quiet falls where laughter and chatter and lots of breathing once filled every crevice.
Praying for you, dear Lisa... for a fruitful time of writing and a blessed season of solitude. Be surrounded by God's embrace <3
Oh... and that comment above was from me, as in Maureen... forgot to sign it.
Thanks, Maureen! I was trying to work out who the first note was from... xx
I love that she is blowing a kiss to you with complete joy written on her face over the fact that she is joining them on this adventure!
dear Lisa...
You'll have the gift of quiet time to focus and write...and we all SO want this book to come to fruition...the gift of your words...
