the statues of the kings...

'Tis fine to see the Old World and travel up and down 

Among the famous palaces and cities of renown, 

To admire the crumbly castles and the statues of the kings....  

- Henry Van Dyke

More to follow but wanted to tell you this much.  Our family has one foot in each continent right now - and the blog will reflect that split life - with the final leap to be made in a couple weeks.

These are for you, Theresa <g>

I really love Germany, They have more Castles than any other country. I saw so many on a boat trip there it was wonderful. ! Also the Rhine wine is good too!!

England?

[Teresa]

Oh! She is cruel Theresa, isn't she? LOL
Rolling black out shades, gotta be Europe.

First off I really love the new header! At least we now know which ocean you're crossing. :)
I'm putting in my best guesses of Spain or Italy.
What a tease you are; I'll be checking in!
I'm so excited for you...
On the fear front...I've been trying to stick to Catholic material, but for some reason (maybe it was via jewels' eyes of wonder) I've been led to read the works of Hannah Whittal Smith. Between doses of that, your adventure and re-reading eyes of wonder multiple times I think I have hope... :)
Praying for you Kim in your Olde World travels!!

Ah,but Kim, you didn't finish the verse of the poem. If I am not too muddled in my remembering, it goes,

So it's home again and home again, America for me
My heart is turning home again and there it longs to be
To the land of peace and freedom beyond the ocean bars,
Where the air is full of sunshine and the flag is full of stars.

;-)

[Shayne]

Does this mean that you're coming over our way Kim?

Good luck with your move anyway, whatever shore you end up on.

[Theresa]

Beautiful!!!!! I can't wait to see and hear more! And the new header is absolutely fabulous!

[Donna Marie]

Gee Kim, you sure are mysterious! You do like secrets, don't you? ;o) LOL!
I would guess by the time that it is Germany...
Best wishes to you!!

I'm guessing central Europe. I see the clock in the sidebar. ;-)

Looks like Germany to me --maybe Bavaria.

"But now I think I've had enough of antiquated things...

So it's home again and home again, America for me,
My heart is turning home again and there I long to be
In the land of youth and freedom beyond the ocean bars
Where the air is full of sunlight and the flag is full of stars...."

Love that poem! So when you're ready to come back home, we hope it's Colorado that you choose again. :) I must be very hard to find a place to call home when you've had the whole world as your home. We will miss you guys.

Kim, when I first read this I thought you meant that one member of your family was on each of the seven continents. (I just woke up from a nap.)I look forward to hearing your story.

[Kim]

Michelle nailed it. ; )

And Cheryl that would be ambitious, even for us lol!

Mary Jean, our poem isn't finished yet. We are on a long term stall in the 'fir-woods'

Barb, you have no idea. There really are so many places to love and no matter where we are we always feel a little homesick for the others. But its a big wonderful world and we have been blessed to experience so much of it. God is good. Our home is heaven. Everyplace else is just temporary!

[Wendy in VA]

Ah, now I see the rouladen on the window...

I have to admit, I am envious. Please post lots and lots of pictures. Pretty please. :o)

Blessings to you on your new continent! We are looking forward to new bird sighting posts. :-)
