Some years ago I was going for a stay at Bronwyn's place, and Elliot had put a sign up on the dooor saying "Welcome Here." A day or so later I asked him what it meant.

Wanting to be with family and at home at the same time. The weather difference being so different. We've heard that our snow may be here til May. I'm praying that things will start warming up this week and that we can have our spring start sometime in April. SO thankful that the Lord allowed us to take the trip and now SO thankful to be back home safely.Meleahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13385104820293475385noreply@blogger.com
