The Dreamer....

It's been a while since I felt a good tremor...but not more than 10 minutes ago, we got a 4.1 Richter Scale jolt.

This post doesn't relate to the quake report...then again, it might.

One of my favorite characters in the Bible is Joseph...lately, I've been thinking on the fact that he was the Dreamer. Not only did God give him the dreams, but He also made them come true. The significance of his dreams went beyond his personal sphere - a universal plan that has consequences to this day.

I wonder what he thought about his dreams when he was in the dungeon? One day he was a dungeon slave, the next day, he was the second most powerful man in the world. I believe God would have made him the most powerful man, except Joseph's kingdom like Christ's kingdom was not of this world.

It is a comfort to know that the One who puts the aspiration in our hearts will be the One to fulfill them.

More Transformations!

Finally finished the pond in the backyard....complete with a spitting frog, a little stream and of course goldfish!!
After the Dienzo family left on Friday morning we got the house ready for a Realtor and an interested buyer. Ray and I drove down to the Wenzels' house to sit in their driveway and spy on the house. The buyer spent about 30 minutes looking at the house but so far no offer.

Where the Rainbow Ends.

In case you were wondering where the Rainbow ends...it's on Seperado Avenue in Atascadero......and why are we leaving??

Dienzo Thanksgiving

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving with the Dienzo family! It was short but sweet! We took a walk in beautiful downtown Atascadero before our turkey dinner. Noah brought his XBox which provided hours of excitement! Eileen, Michelle and I joined the crowds on Black Friday at Kohl's at 5:00am for some early shopping deals.

Realtor's Caravan

On Wednesday there was a Realtor's Caravan at our house. It's basically an Open House for Realtors. Jean Ponek (our Realtor) brought some yummy treats and I needed to leave the house. When I got back there wasn't even a hint that anyone had been in the house. I got a little nervous thinking that nobody came but this is the email that I got from Jean today:
the caravan went well.All of the responses were good, they thought it was priced well, they thought it was cute and decorated really nice. The stairs and decking were also praised. They like what you have done in the backyard. Over all it was all good. The two main concerns were the driveway and if a family wanted a yard in the back to play in, it would be hard to do. I explained that it had a large front yard that can maintain the toys for young children. Other then those two remarks all was positive. Now we wait for them to bring any buyers! I will call you if anything else comes up. I am going to try and get it in Homes and Land Magazine this month.

I got a great shot of a red-tailed hawk sititng on the power line looking for lunch.

HOUSE FOR SALE!!

For the past couple of months we have been saying "we should have our house up on the market in the next couple of weeks". Due to a number of huge projects and a couple of delays, a couple of weeks turned into a couple of months.
As of November 6, 2006 our house is officially on the market!
We aren't sure if we should laugh or cry! We have poured a lot of sweat into getting the house to where it is right now and we really love it! We would like to be able to enjoy it for a little while! At the same time we are happy to have the projects done so that we can begin the next big chapter in our lives.
