They make me completely sick, but my daughter loves them. I don't think Calvin's ever been on one.<BR/><BR/>And what Margo said reminded me of when we first moved to Arizona. My writing team that I left behind put together an amazing card for me that quoted a verse from Isaiah about making the desert bloom. Considering I came rather reluctantly to Arizona, it's been an adventure to see how God has made that promise come true in our lives.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09688638274582413200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16906700.post-1160339597535099582006-10-08T16:33:00.000-04:002006-10-08T16:33:00.000-04:00Looks lovely, Jen.

I know you are going to enjoy this house and yard when it is all done--just wish you were closer (all selfish, I know, but still. . .)<BR/>BTW, you might want to taken under consideration Chris' Ferris Wheel idea--talk about keeping Calvin busy! <BR/><A HREF="http://jlcary.blogspot.com/" REL="nofollow">Abundant blessings,</A><BR/><A HREF="http://jenniferlynncary.com/" REL="nofollow">Jenny Cary</A>Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00282306699437598730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16906700.post-1160335919797437172006-10-08T15:31:00.000-04:002006-10-08T15:31:00.000-04:00Wow.

When I first moved there, I resentfully called it my exile in the desert. <BR/><BR/>By the second year, I prayed, "Lord, don't let us stay here long enough to get attached," knowing it was already too late. <BR/><BR/>When it was finally time to leave it at the end of six years, I prayed, "Lord, can't you just make the kids and all the in-laws move here? Who retires FROM Arizona?" and I clearly heard, "You're about to!" <BR/><BR/>Then the Realtor back here emailed us about a house near our daughter, but in another subdivision near hers. We fell in love with the house from online photos. We bought it. <BR/><BR/>Then we noticed the name of the subdivision: Sonora! As in Sonoran Desert. Too amazing.<BR/><BR/>And our new phone number is one digit in sequence after our daughter's--and she received hers two years before.<BR/><BR/>Little hugs from the Lord, assuring us we're where He wants us, making me feel better about leaving that far Southwestern beauty.<BR/><BR/>Your yard plans look wonderful. Take care of the coyotes and geckos for me. <BR/><BR/>Hugs~Margo Carmichaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04406873560965068584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16906700.post-1160247394527236732006-10-07T14:56:00.000-04:002006-10-07T14:56:00.000-04:00It looks gorgeous!

LOL<BR/><BR/>And yes, the dog thinks he belongs in someone's lap if they're in the swing. Of course obedience classes might break him of that habit. :)Malia Spencerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12499024480211211142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16906700.post-1160246176896229392006-10-07T14:36:00.000-04:002006-10-07T14:36:00.000-04:00Wow!!!
