A Peaceful Place to Live…
Corgi Country is a peaceful, quiet place to live now-a-days. I like this time of my life, but I do miss my kids. They are scattered all over the country (U.S.A.) with kids of their own in most cases. I get a case of “Empty Nest Syndrome” every once in a while even though it’s not totally empty yet. I mentioned before that we have six kids… five legally, and one more that has become a part of our family since he started out in foster care here 16 years ago.
My oldest son, the construction worker, lives in Florida with his wife and 4 daughters. My daughter and her hubby live in Texas with their three boys, and my gentle giant son also lives in Texas with his wife, a son and daughter. My cowboy son lives a couple of hours away with his wife and son, and my “eagle” son lives about a half hour from us with his two daughters and a son (with one on the way—hence 13 ½ grandkids). My youngest, an author as of today, lives here for the time being as I have had to have help since my first injury a few years ago. (You can buy or preview his book, “Little Dott Finds a Home” by clicking the link in “my links” at the side of this blog)
I feel that we were blessed with Corgi Country so that we would have a good place to try to help fix broken lives, both animal and human. The Lord has helped us “rescue” children, birds, horses, goats and dogs during different seasons in our lives here. A lot of the time, the work has been hard and/or heart-breaking, but many times we’ve been so blessed to see some truly neat things happen.
I plan to share some of these stories in future blogs with you, so stay tuned. Have a great weekend!
