Looking in at our new life here in Alabama

Two weeks ago, our journey began to move Alabama. We've moved so many times, we should start a business. But, we will pass on the idea and hopefully not move for a very long time. We arrived to our new home we were "southernly" welcomed. There were 50 or so people unload our trucks, setup our beds and unpack boxes. We were also surprised with full cabinets of food, gift certificates and a refrigerator full of food. We felt so special. On our first Sunday here, we were welcomed with our first "bama" snow. Our first week here was the famous Rock Mills Bar-b-que week! We are very impressed. Every night was a different project from making the special secret sauce to packing bread and bagging cakes. We enjoyed seeing so many working with such unity together, and of course joking and having fun. I think the total fed was near 3000 plates. See, Bar-b-que here is a big tradition. Here on the home front, most of the decor is finished. Routines are started and we are loving life. Speaking of life... our little family has grown. We have two dogs Jack and Lucky plus we've added 10 new baby chicks. David the farmer wannabe and Austin the wildlife man, have decided we need to grow our own country eggs. We were spoiled living near my parents in Tennesssee, when their chickens supplied us with good country eggs. Emily the horse rider is looking so forward to riding some horses owned by our members. We give the Lord all praise for His many blessings. P.S. To all my northern gals, I've already planted flowers in several pots. I'm working on finding a beautiful front porch swing. Come see us!
