Give me Simplicity
We have just spent 1 whole week at the beach. The girls went with DH and I,  as well as Garrett. Chad had to stay home because of his EMT class.We had a wonderful time. I treasure the times that we can be together all day and just enjoy each other. It is so wonderful. I also really love the times that it is just DH and I. This year the family went too! We did get to go out to dinner 1 night by ourselves though. It was very nice.We were all eager to get back home though. The ocean is beautiful but when you live in Tennessee among the hills, there's no place like home.
     I guess I need those times to revive me and get me ready for a busy season of planting the garden and everything else that comes with spring.I also need that time to make me reevaluate my own life and get me back to where I need to be. When I get out with those crazy people(it was spring break) need I say more, I just can't believe how far the world has gotten away from Gods plan. Some things we saw were down right sickening. I just wanted to get back to my little corner of the world.All the junk that people were buying and the flashing neon signs, all the immodest clothing and the language. It was enough to just make me sick. The sad part is the downward spiral of society so fast. Those things would not have been tolerated a very short time ago.
    Anyway, I am now wanting my oil lamps, my garden, my stove, my tranquility and calmness of my farm more than ever! Welcome Home!
Love, Tina
