A shot of Lydia, doing a great job in the office for Rich. She is spending a lot of her summer doing invoices, estimates, writing paychecks, and balancing the business checkbook. Since she is our “sedentary and visual” child, this works quite well for her (and us!). :^)

Ain’t I cute? lol. jk. sorry it looks so messy… looking for stamps…and recording a checkbook. =P and don’t mind my mom. I’m not THAT sedentary, but I am very visual…

Hi Denise,
That is great! It’s a really useful thing to know how to do! :^)
Love you lots! Aunt Anna (what are you doing INSIDE on this BEAUTIFUL DAY!!??? Get off the computer and go out in the sunshine!!! LOL)

:^) LOVE YOU

Let’s do a quick review. You are to “move away” under these conditions:
1) It’s a warm place, lots of sunshine, no snow
2) Beach local to you
3) Your name (not mine) is on the lease or mortgage
4) Well-appointed guest room available when I visit
I really don’t think it is overly cool for us to correspond on our blog, since we do live in the same house. LOL
LOVE YOU

oh goodness… let me see.
1) it’ll probably be Africa… any objections?
2) Beach may or may not be local
3) I will live in a crude hut in the desert that does not have either lease OR mortgage
4) guest room will probably be available.
Since you are about 10 ft away from me, I’ll stop filling up my post about me with my posts.. I’ll let others let me know I’m famous!! =D JK.

Lydia, This is our last post about our posts about your post. (Yes, that means I get the last word). I would appreciate you moving to Africa only if you are clearly directed by God, and I am sure He’s taking into consideration my request that you go with a dashing, wonderful husband to share hut-life with you. :^) Judging by your reaction to Biology’s dissections, I am skeptical as to your ability to handle mission-life in the middle of one of the most ravaged areas in the world. On the other hand, I am most confident that God will give you the grace to do it if it is His will for you. Whatever you do, do it with all your might, as unto the Lord, whether it is being a wife, a mother, a medical missionary, or a 14.5 yr old in Dad’s office. Live a passionate and intentional life, because life is short and you were created for God’s glory on this earth and for the good of those who surround you. WHATEVER you do, fulfill your calling to “commend the gospel” with the manner of your life. Nothing else really matters and nothing else will last. I LOVE YOU.
