As you know the name of my blog is "Life off a dirt road".
Since my move to town it seems that chapter has come to an end, and so must my posts to the blog. I toyed with the idea of changing the blog name but it just didn't feel right. I love to journal and will continue in a different manner for my family. I will also continue to follow the blogs of my dear friends. I love to read and find new craft ideas and appreciate those of you who supply that. Not to mention keeping up with the dear families I have come to love. So this is not goodbye, rather....see you later.
When one door closes-another opens. I am looking forward to the new doors that God has in store for me. Who knows.....there could be a new blog in the future.
God Bless you all,
Brenda

Full of Family
In the midst my relocation-my daughter/son-in-love also made some changes too. They relocated to a home only 3.9 miles from my new home! Before they move in, some major renovations must be completed. Since their old place was leased...did you guess it? They moved in with me!
The weekend before Christmas, Michele said Merry Christmas...you're getting me for Christmas! I had only been in my new house for about a month and everything seemed very out of sorts. I welcomed the thought of my daughter and her little family staying with me. In the last 3 years I have learned that "Change" is the one thing that is certain to happen. I am learning to roll with it. Having been alone on the ranch for a while I am very pleased to have the laughter and extra footsteps in my home.
I am finding joy is cooking again. My eating habits have changed a bit, but the kids seem to love whatever I put on the table. Since I am working only one day a week at the university-I almost feel like a housewife again. I keep Amy, cook, clean, laundry.....and I love it. It actually makes me feel good to be tired at the end of the day. However, I understand why God made us to bear children when we are younger! Even though I will miss them terribly when they move-I will welcome the next chapter to begin. It is really amazing if you think about it. God knows what is around the corner-sometimes good sometimes bad-if you leave it to him he will guide you. I guess what I am trying to say is-even if there are bad things-hold on to Jesus and give it time....things will change. Be thankful for all you have and praise the Lord every day. There is always much to be thankful for.

Happy Birthday to ME!!
February 1, 1958. Yep that makes me 56!! Really?
I was born in Fort Worth Texas and have lived my entire life (so far) within a 100 mile radius.
This is the first birthday in my new home and new memories are being made.
It began with a wake up call from my son, Brad. The best son in the world. He loves to be the first to wish me a happy birthday-and so he did. Later I heard something in the kitchen and when I went in, there was the best daughter in the world-cooking me breakfast. She even served it the "good china". Her plans were to serve in bed, but I spoiled it. As we ate, she said I had to get ready cause I was getting a massage at 10am!
After that was a manicure and pedicure then lunch. She drove me around and treated me like a princess all day. It was perfect. I am truly blessed and thank God every day for it.
