Elapsed Time


This is a bit embarrassing; I'm not a very good blogger am I?

Lately the pictures I've been posting have had to say the 1,000 words I wish I had the time to write.

We've hit the ground running in 2011! And we're nearing the two year mark! March 4th is the day we arrived two years ago. Do you know I still choke up when I talk about the move? It's just that it's inside now so people don't know.

We're celebrating by having a party -- the theme is Immigrants. You have to come dressed as some immigrant or other. Should be fun!

Lloyd is in Year 3! And loving it. My son is growing up in New Zealand! Crazy. Who'd have thought. And he's so very happy! He is loving his life and it's wonderful to see.

I just still cannot believe, in this great big world, and created in the image of God, there exists a human being who calls me, “Mum”. I am not worthy.

But! I'm doing the best I can.

It's been an amazing, very hot summer. Every once in a while we get a little reminder that autumn will be here eventually... This morning was once such time. It was so nice and cool! But now the cicadas are out in full force again and driving me crazy! I have all the windows shut I'm so sick of listening to them.

Cicadas are the only insects to have developed such an effective and specialised means of producing sound. Some small species have songs so high in pitch that the noise is beyond the range of our hearing. And the other ones just go on and on and on all. day. long. They are the loudest insects in the world -- that's a fact I read!

Right.

I'm supposed to be doing work on this computer not updating my out-of-date blog!

I have been considering putting an end to the blog...

Your thoughts?

Oh please don't end your blogs! You have no idea how much your words inspire and move me. It makes me feel a little more connected with you.

LOVE that picture of you guys!! Keep the blog- I really enjoy reading it, and you are a great writer! (Unless it has become a burden to you, then by all means you need to stop!!)

Please do not cease blogging, unless (as Jenn notes) it has become a burden in any way. As you know, we don't look at it often but your writing is excellent and we would miss your comments and "take" on events very much if the publisher stops publishing! Richard & Ellen

Oh dear.... don't end your blogs! I do still visit them. I especially liked the one about the national anthem. Kelly C
