She had called me from California about homeschooling (I am in lots of older hsing books) and said she was relocating to my area. Before you knew it she was calling from my town! She and her family had moved here after hearing how much I liked living here! Talk about pressure. So yes, I have done this. Your table looks lovely by the way.Pattie - Chicagoland, ILhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00266118934262083104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13617895.post-40792882752950497602010-06-09T01:00:35.593-04:002010-06-09T01:00:35.593-04:00That's so sweet!

We had never met her before - she was a friend of a friend. As we prepared her room and our house for her, we began to love her more and more. God richly blessed our time together, and now we remain close friends. I'm always surprised how God blesses us when we offer hospitality to friends and strangers alike.Spectrum of Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00790937909884395469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13617895.post-48610567639170000172010-06-08T20:13:17.851-04:002010-06-08T20:13:17.851-04:00how thoughtful!
