Need Heat? Come to Wenatchee :-)

It's day four and incredibly hot here. Thank goodness Kevin and Lynn have air conditioning or I would be back home after one day.

Whitney and I are having some great time together. Kevin and Lynn went to the ocean and so we are house sitting and taking care of their dog. They will be back on Wed. Bob and the kids will be here either Thursday night or Friday morning. I miss then terribly and can't wait for their return. Spencer is having the hardest time with me being gone. He calls day and night wanting me to come home "NOW". It definitely has made the seperation more difficult.

Yesterday Whitney and I decided to take Kevin's big, giant Ford, extended cab, diesel pick-up truck downtown to do some very quick shopping. We looked quite out of place in this big truck. Whitney was wearing her sweat pants because the house is 67 degrees inside. When we got to Target and walked from the truck to the store she was totally sweating. She then tried to talk me into taking the truck through the drive-through for some Taco Bell. We were laughing so hard because I could barely park the thing, let alone go through a tiny drive-through. I was exhausted by the time we made it home I had to take a long nap to recover.

Today we tried to give the dog a bath. That didn't go much better. We have finally resigned ourselves to lounging around and reading our respective books. Tomorrow is just doing laundry :-).

I can't say that I'm feeling any better since being here, but that wasn't my expectation to see any changes right away. Rather than thinking about that I'm trying to enjoy the quiet which doesn't exist much at my house :-). It seems like a great opportunity to slow everything down another notch, and wait to see what God has in store.

Psalm 131:1-2
Lord, my heart is not proud; my eyes are not haughty.
I don't concern myself with matters too great or awesome for me.

But I have stilled and quieted myself,
just as a small child is quiet with its mother.
Yes, like a small child is my soul within me.

Many blessings, Tanya
