Our new old house

Andy and I decided about a year ago to put our house on the market and see what would happen.  We sold our house in January.  We both believed it was time for an adventure.  We had come to know a church in Greenville South Carolina, close to where one of our sons lived and found it to be a good fit for us.  We also wanted to pay cash for a house.  We cleared enough from the sale of our house in Chattanooga to buy a 1920 mill house in Inman, SC.  The house is half way between the church we have come to love and our son and his family.  It has not been easy to be "homeless" for 1 1/2 months or to know we are leaving family and friends here in Chattanooga.  But God is good to give us grace for the challenge.  We have stayed with Matt and Sarah for about 2 weeks, and our dear friends Ken and Diane have let us stay with them for over 4 weeks.  This coming Thursday we close on our little house.  I will post pictures and will keep them updated as we make improvements on our find.
