New Yorkers Were Here!

March 20th, 2009

This week we were blessed to spend time with our dear friends from NY. It was so good to see Mrs. V and Brittany after so long an absence! The whole family couldn’t come down, but we sent them on with lots to tell everyone in NY.
We spent most of the two days we had together touring our town and surrounding areas, stopping by all of our favorite places and shops. We went practically everywhere! I think we’re trying to convince Mrs. V and her family to move to Tennessee or something. :-)

Amidst all our traveling around, we stopped into Mom’s favorite furniture store where she’s been checking in for pieces we can use in our house (i.e., we’re still on the lookout for a new dining room table and chairs). We didn’t find what we were originally looking for, but found this: perfect for sitting down to tie and untie your shoes!

As you can see, it now has a home in our entryway, a gift Mrs. V made to us. Isn’t that sweet?

It was a wonderful time! Short, but sweet. We were able to catch up on everyone’s recent family and local news – I feel like I’m all caught up on what’s happening in NY. :-)

May God bless you guys on the rest of your journey! It was awesome to see you!

P.S. If any of our friends are in the area, please stop by! We’d love to see you. :-)

    Love all those photos and keeping up with you all this way…its probably the ONLY part about technology I really like and enjoy. Very nice of Mrs. ‘V’ to christen your new home with such a practicle gift…something everyone will use every day, and each time someone will think of her…how wonderful!

    NATE: I just KNOW you can make a bench ‘similar’ to this one. It is a great prototype to model from. I saw you checking out the spindles on that Gazebo photo! You’ve got ‘carpenter’ written all over you! (~.~)…You GO-Guy!

    Hugs to all…Sheila (another New Yorker)

    @Mrs. Delson
    Blogs are “the ONLY part about technology” that you “really like and enjoy”?

    Heh heh, you know, technically speaking, almost everything we use daily is technology – it’s just not “new” any more. :D

    @Salome
    Thanks! But it’s all God, and His grace – all praise and credit goes to Him.

    Besides, you don’t know us… We can be pretty crazy! :)
