A new grandbaby is a big change - but think of the joy, the love, the emotional changes that will come with that!Redhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06870283055927616591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8036550554413060199.post-79604353101180101312018-07-11T10:22:11.262+07:002018-07-11T10:22:11.262+07:00When we moved to Beijing, we thought we had jobs l...When we moved to Beijing, we thought we had jobs lined up, and sort of did, but we were completely at the mercy of others to help us find a residence.

Which was a rude thing to say to anyone, let alone a stranger. Where would we be if we didn't plan for the future?<br />Sure, plans don't always pan out and I enjoy surprises, but I don't want to leave everything to chance.Christopherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10320886074658710855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8036550554413060199.post-80173214420798273432018-07-10T18:12:55.152+07:002018-07-10T18:12:55.152+07:00Well you've had a lot more and a lot bigger ch...Well you've had a lot more and a lot bigger changes than I've had in the last 6 months Red, but at the same time, nothing stays still. Life continues to evolve and I love that we can move with it and end up in a better and brighter place. Even if it seems that nothing much is happening, there is still lots going on in the lives of those we love and that adds to the mix. Our son and DIL are about to produce our second grandbaby - just seeing the changes in the 2 years our granddaughter has been alive amazes me (you don't have time to watch when it's your own child) and soon another one to love. Life is good isn't it?

I hope we're in a new home before the end of the end but honestly I don't see that happening with our VERY picky nature in what we want in our next home. We've been in this place for 38 years so we know what we like and don't like. That's something we had no clue on when we bought this place eons ago. But, you...have made quite a few changes in your life in a short order which makes me think our youngest daughter (DD#2) and son-in-law's (SIL) situation. They moved to Maine last November. My SIL had a job already in place. DD#2 did not. They didn't even have a place to live until after they got there and it took them almost three weeks. Now, they're in the process of buying their first home which means if all goes well another move. It's definitely an exciting time for them and I couldn't be happier for them. Asian clothing sizes are crazy small and this is coming from someone who buys small to X-small clothes. I can't wait to hear about your home-based business. I think it's wonderful and adventurous of you. Best of luck to ya! ;)Cathy Kennedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01738079671642137018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8036550554413060199.post-58428735526546454642018-07-10T12:44:35.310+07:002018-07-10T12:44:35.310+07:00I bet for all of us, if we clocked the last 6 mont...I bet for all of us, if we clocked the last 6 months, or made a note to track the next 6, we'd see a lot of change.Redhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06870283055927616591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8036550554413060199.post-91694891818608730442018-07-10T12:43:50.831+07:002018-07-10T12:43:50.831+07:00I want those, too!

I cannot imagine the state my self-esteem would be in if I had to shop in "Asian-sizes-only" stores...<br />I think I'll stop thinking about that now.
