Indiana

It is FLAT!  I forgot just how flat in such a short period of time.  I'm driving down the highway and bored.  My brain wanders and when I come back into focus, everything is the same.  In the Ozarks, you don't dare drive one-handed and your focus CAN'T wander.

The first thing I did was a load of laundry.  Once I started the machine, I also started pot of coffee.  So, I have two luxuries going.  A coffee pot that is not being brewed over a campfire.  A washing machine that fills and drains on its own.  There is also a dryer here.  Plus, guess what?  You flip a switch and you have lights!  And, guess what?  There is a TV here!  Pretty pictures flicker across a screen with little people who talk to each other.

Ok, so I am not really that pathetic.  But it is amusing the stark comparison between how we live and how we used to live.  (Minus the whole TV thing.)

Tomorrow, we will be going to Rockville after running a few errands in town and we will be going to a couple of Amish stores to pick up some kitchen supplies that will make our lives a little easier.

Going to the St. Louis church today was wonderful.  I loved it and have really missed going to "my" church.  I have gotten quite a few questions and filled people in on what is going on.  Us moving, building a house, roughing it, etc.  One thing I would like to do is burn the pictures to a memory stick and have them printed out at Mics Pics.

.

I am looking forward to a wonderful night of sleeping in a house on a small couch.  Much more comfortable than the mattress we have where I can feel all the springs.  I know, I know.  Waah, wahh.

Off to switch over laundry and have some coffee that does not have grounds or ash floating in it.
