Longview, Texas? Tyler, Texas? St. George, Utah? What do these places have in common? They are WARM places we have been considering for our next place to live, in the not-so-distant future. We are definitely going to go on a road trip to Longview and Tyler, just not sure how soon. We are leaning toward St. George because it is not so far from our children and grandchildren, so maybe they would come visit us more often than if we lived in Texas.

If you could live anywhere in the U.S., where would it be? Why?

Then we received a call from our daughter this morning. She and her husband had been considering moving in with us with their little boy this summer for a year or two so they could get some debt paid off quickly. But, the last we heard, they were thinking they would probably stay where they are at.

The first question she asked when she called, this morning, was if they decide not to move in with us, are we going to move out of state? We said we are considering the possibility. She replied, “Then we are moving in.” I asked if she is serious and she confirmed that she is serious. So, that settles that (I think). We still need to discuss the logistics, but we are probably staying here, for now. They will pay a few of the monthly bills while they are staying with us, which will be helpful to us, too. It’s a win-win. At least for awhile.

Life takes some unexpected twists and turns. And just when you think you are twisting right, next thing you know, you better hang on tight for that sharp left turn, Clyde.

Happy Sunday!
