Someone wants to meet you...

When I went to the post office this morning there was an envelope in the mailbox (for work) with the handwritten message "Someone wants to meet you..."

Now to give you some background, for the last 4 years I have gone just about every week day to the post office right across the street from my office. Wendy, Rae & Mary are always behind the counter and we have a lovely little chat while they process the mail and get all the pertinant information into the computer. Wendy and I talk about quilting (as she is also a quilter - she let me borrow her ruler for the round quilt for mom), Rae likes to tease (I'm not sure why... but he calls me trouble whenever I come in) and Mary just likes to talk about what is going on (or asking me about how to talk to her friend who is in prison). No matter who else is in the post office, we share a laugh and it is one of the highlights of my day to go in there.

Now, when I went to the post office this morning and I saw this note I wondered if it was one of these three that had written me the note. With great trepidation I opend the envelope to find that it was random mass written note from a dating agency. (hugh sign of relief that I don't have to have an akward conversation with those 3 about why I don't want to meet their friend).

I brought it into the office to show Hans and we had a good chuckle over it. (Sometimes it doesn't take much to make me laugh - believe it or not!)

So what did you get in the mail today?

I had nothing in the mail today. Often I get a letter from Jennifer and yesterday I got the maternity clothes I bought on e-bay. Micaiah got his first Lego magazine for which he was thrilled. I love snail-mail. I wave at the post lady through my dining room window everyday. I'm glad she sees me teaching my kids. At least someone knows that I take homeschooling seriously!
E-mail is a little simpler for me. Even when I do write letters, by the time the letter gets a stamp on it the news is old . . . real old.

I think that it is oftent the simplest gestures that mean the most to me. Last week I had the priviledge of going to visit friends for dinner. When their 4 year old boy heard I was coming he wanted to set the table extra special. So he carefully put out the plates then put out the forks and knives. When he put out the napkins he decided to make it extra special and 'crinkled' the napkin around the utensil. Just a sim ple thoughful gesture to make things a bit more special. In February at our Ladies retreat we talked about Hospitality and how we need to get out of our comfort zones and start to make our homes and churches more inviting and welcoming places. We were encouraged and challenged to not worry if our homes weren't clean, we didn't have a 5 course meal prepared, or anyother excuse that we may have thought of in the past and just obey the command to Practice Hospitality (Romans 12:13). What a blessing it could be if our children grew up without the same hang ups ...

Hannah Rose Everts July 27, 2007 7 lbs 3oz We are so excited to have a little girl in the family! (though after 6 sisters you wouldn't think so!) Because Hannah was a footling breech, Rachel had a c-section planned for Friday early evening, but got bumped up to a later time. Hannah was born at 9:56 pm. She was laying sideways and it took some effort, but sh e is here safely. Rachel is doing extremly well and looking forward to coming home. Tristan wasn't quite sure what was going on... what 13 mont h old does? He pointed straight to her nose (like he does on his doll). He now looks like a GIANT! We are so thankful to the Lord for his blessings to Ryan and Rachel with another covenant child.

On the long weekend, Mike & Karen and I decided to spend a quiet weekend together camping. (Did I just say Karen and quiet in the same sentence?!?) We were a bit smarter this year than last and brought the trailer, got an electrical site and brought a heater along. While it was quite cold at night we were snug as bugs in rugs. Our first night was not one of much sleep. The people beside us came in just before 1 am drinking and making all sorts of noise. Finally at 4 am I opened the door and told them to be quiet. (Mike was shocked awake because he hadn't heard a thing!) At 4:30 Mike and Karen went out looking for the park rangers and then went to the site and told them to be quiet. Finally at about 5am they were asleep in their tents. Karen (who doesn't always need a lot of sleep) went out at about 8 and found the ranger and by 9 he was shaking their tents telling them that they had to leave. Karen, being Karen, made sure that we got our money back for the night! Our neigh...
