I have lived for two-and-a-half years in Germany, and for six years in England, as an Air Force wife.

I thoroughly enjoyed living in both Germany and England. We had the best of both worlds as we had the advantages of an American Air Force Base in both places, but we also had the experience of the local people, shops, scenery, weather, and history. I wouldn't change any of it for any reason.

Call this a check-in on my New Year's Resolutions (that I didn't even make formally).

1. Sell my house in Dallas.
2. Move to Franke Tobey Jones in Tacoma, WA.
3. Lead a Bible study with Presbyterian Women on Facebook.
4. Lose 20 more pounds (really lose about 100, but let's have reasonable goals.)
5. Write in this blog every day.
6. Pay off most of my credit card debt.
7. Visit my son, daughter-in-law and grandchildren in south Louisiana.
8. Take a long train trip.
9. Go to a conference at MoRanch.
10. Be more regular in the spiritual disciplines of prayer, and Bible study.

Misty rain, 60 deg., no wind. Think England or Seattle!

Misty view

Cool enought to need a sweatshirt and appreciate a blanket at night, but not so cold your nose freezes.

We very rarely get this in Dallas. That's why I'm dreaming of Tacoma, WA.
