What fun it is to live in my little town, this sweet community. I love that when Ronnie B and I go out for a beer at our local brewery we run into kiddos that we have watched grow into incredible adults. This is Caleb. He has his life together as you can see in this picture. Living a lifetime, raising our kids and loving coworkers, friends, and family in a small town makes even a grocery trip a chance to catch up with others.
The thought of moving to a new location where we would be anonymous breaks my heart. So when someone asks if we will stay in Los Alamos when our kids are not here, the answer is not yes but absolutely. I want to spend the rest of my life living on Noni’s Park aka Western Park hearing happy sounds of soccer games and kids swinging and going down the slides again and again. It seems they never tire of climbing that ladder to whiz down and bump their little butts in the sand. The park is filled with Noni Park toys that everyone plays in the sand and enjoys. Having a cup of coffee with my Bible open on a park bench is my heaven on earth. I am even grateful when a passer by stops for a quick good morning chat.
So thank you Caleb for the hug and goofy smile. It was good to share how your life is going and catch you up on our Natalie’s that you remember so fondly. God’s timing is perfect to place us in each other’s paths; me on a barstool and you with a goofy grin. Come back to Loss often because you are a part of the joy that is our small community.
In Him,
Joyful
