Empty Nest

The contents of my house as of 10:55 am are:
1. vacuum
2. toolbox
3. computer
4. piano
5. microwave
6. baby (sleeping through everything - an answered prayer!)

I'll spare you more teary-eyed remarks about parting, but I must say that the gathering we had with Steve's (and mine) life-long Overisel friends was very meaningful and memorable. We spent hours remembering good times. One couple lived in Australia for 2 years and spent time in Indonesia, and they had many helpful (and humerous) insights for us. We're still not sure why one member of our group wanted to know how far out into Lake Michigan you had to be to dump dead bodies...

Thanks to the Overiselite buddies for many great years of movie nights, book clubs, stupid farm stunts, sharing child rearing tips, and general hanging out. You're irreplaceable! We look forward to our proposed camp out next summer (Pokagon?)

And thanks most of all for the prayers you offered for us last night. Keep praying for us as we travel and get settled into a new home and community.
