Welcome to Tuesday 4 kept up in memory of our friend Toni Taddeo who began it several years ago. She would be so pleased to see people keeping up with it!
Let's talk about moving today.
1. How far away are you from where you grew up? I live about 20 miles from my hometown. My kids 1-15 miles away.
2. Families sometimes move all over the country. Do you feel that a family should try to stay close together? I think it depends on the family and how close they are. My family is within an hours drive. We are a close family. Covid has kept us from visiting the way we are use to. Facebook helps.
3. How many times have you moved in your life and would you like to share when and where you moved? When I lived at home, my parents moved 4 times. My husband and I married in 1974 and we have moved 5 times. I think we are through moving.
4. What brought you to where you are living now and are you happy there? When we retired, we no longer needed to be close to the freeway to drive 60 miles round trip to work. We also wanted a one story home and lower taxes which we found in an older home close to our favorite market and 5 minutes from our doctors. We are content. We have 4 bedrooms and nice size yard which is nice. I do miss my last home that had a nice view and a soaking tub. I miss the separate dinning room and the formal living room that was well lit. But we are comfortable here and easy access to the places we like to go to. I am about 40 minutes from the beach, an hour from the desert, 2 hours to the mountains, one and a half hours to San Diego and 30 minutes to Disneyland!
The weather has been so nice here. It was in the 70's last week and 80 for Monday and Tuesday. I like to read my Bible outside. I am also working on my Lent study. I am spending less time on Social media and less time on the television.
Here are a couple of pages I have done in my compact Bible and I am using the New King James version. Items are attached to the side of the Bible so that the text can be read. I am using two of my study bibles and the Dr. Tony Evans Commentary to get a bigger understanding the text. I do this after I read the verse and the chapter before. I am also doing my Bible through the year reading that I started last February. I just started reading Luke. When I finish this Bible, I will have read the whole Bible through for the 5th time.
