Its been two weeks since I last posted; so much for sharing the hour by hour joys of moving across country! I’ve thought of things I want to share while running around, but what happened was a total loss of a free moment. So there, that is about the most accurate description I can provide…
Goodbye California
I meant to write something so many times in the last few days but I could not find my laptop, WIFI and a few spare minutes all at the same time. I thought about telling you all what it is like to walk into a house you have raised your kids in, and then watched…
Piano Man
You just cannot imagine how heavy that piano is. It’s 100 years old and the strings inside are that of a baby grand. I had to send pictures of my stairs and the piano to three different movers before I found the San Diego piano movers who would agree to try. More accurately, his answer…
“Tennessee—America at Its Best”
There you have it, the state slogan adopted the year I was born in 1965. We are right in the middle of relocating, and the heat is ramping up! So many people have asked me to keep them posted that I decided to do a good job of that by combining my efforts into one…

Dressing for Battle

Tennessee
Let’s see, what distinguishes this great state of Tennessee besides three double letters in one word? Of course there is that sweet little Chassen family that just relocated here to a little blue house in the woods. Alone in the guest room last night I watched the room light up brilliantly every few moments with…
Agenda for the Day
I woke up yesterday with a clean schedule, which is actually a little intimidating until you are able to put something on it that has meaning because then, of course, you have meaning. Get what I mean? I’ve been practicing the lifestyle of talking to God all the time, and being more self aware of…
