A Sweet Place

 

“Home, the spot of earth supremely blest,
A dearer, sweeter spot than all the rest”
Robert Montgomery

Wishing Seth & Kelley countless blessings, joy, & contentment as they set up housekeeping on Culvert Street:)

Last night they, & Three, spent their first night in their new cozy bungalow. Tonight they wrapped up moving the last items from their previous abode.

Welcome back to Apex, Seth & Kelley & Three!
We are tickled:)

April & May And My Life

 

Exciting times in the Mc family coming up:)
All these things depend on "the Lord being willin' and hopin' the creek don't rise"!

Next weekend, April 24th & 25th, Seth & Kelley plan to move into their pretty Apex bungalow:) Early Saturday morning the Wests and the McFarlands will gather at the "old" house to begin loading a rental truck and our cars with S&K's belongings, then begin carrying everything to the new house in Apex:) A few trips will be involved:)
Whoo hoo!

Two weeks later, May 7th-9th, the clan will travel to Boone/Blowing Rock to celebrate Skye's graduation from Appalachian State University! How exciting is that! What a great way/place to spend Mother's Day weekend:)

And 3 weeks after that, Memorial Day Weekend, the West girls & the Mc girls are flying to NYC for the weekend to celebrate Betsy's and my 60th birthdays and Skye's graduation:) Skye's never been to NY so it will be fun to show her around the BIG APPLE, for me to see things I've seen, plus see some of those places I haven't:)
It'll also be fantastic for Skye and me to travel and spend the weekend with Betsy & Kelley in such an exciting place!

Hopefully some of us will make it to Pa. to see Grandma & Grandpa Mc around Father's Day, but that's another month further, and another blog:)

Anna & Andrew

"He is now to be among you at the calling of your hearts

Rest assured this troubador is acting on His part.
The union of your spirits, here, has caused Him to remain
For whenever two or more of you are gathered in His name
There is Love. There is Love.

Well a man shall leave his mother and a woman leave her home
And they shall travel on to where the two shall be as one.
As it was in the beginning is now and until the end
Woman draws her life from man and gives it back again.
And there is Love. There is Love.

Well then what's to be the reason for becoming man and wife?
Is it Love that brings you here or Love that brings you life?
Or if loving is the answer, then who's the giving for?
Do you believe in something that you've never seen before?
Oh there's Love, there is Love.

Oh the marriage of your spirits here has caused Him to remain
For whenever two or more of you are gathered in His name
There is Love. Oh there's Love. "

Anna, my super cool sweet friend from Hallmark, is being married to her knight in shining armour, Andrew, April 23rd.
My love and joy to y'all:)!

An Easter Afternoon

 

"The year's at the spring
And day's at the morn;
Morning's at seven;
The hillside's dew-pearled;
The lark's on the wing;
The snail's on the thorn;
God's in His heaven -
All's right with the world!"
~Robert Browning

The wisteria is blooming like wildfire this spring around Apex--a glorious sight:)
This photo was taken along James Street.

Last Sunday evening Keith, Skye, & I took a short bike ride up Apache Lane to Laura Duncan, across Hunter Street, down Tunstall Street, and around to James. We found the new Ambassador ARP church located off Apex Peakway, which was a pleasant surprise (we had no idea it was being built).

And, if all goes well, Seth & Kelley will be living in this area in a few weeks:) They've bought a CUTE bungalow on Culvert Street off Tunstall--we are so excited for them!!
More to come about that later....stay tuned:)

In the meantime, take time to walk, bike, jog, by the beautiful wisteria & savor the sweet smell of spring!
