Crouchouse is more of a feeling and not so much the house....

When I started this blog months ago I didn't realize that the Crouchouse today would be different from the one in this picture a little over a year later. This reminds me of a lesson I taught to my kids each time we moved over the course of the 26 years Kenny and I have been married. Each time the moving van loaded the last of all our earthly belongings and drove away Kenny and I gathered our children around us and said, "The most important thing in our lives is what, or who, is standing standing right here. Nothing that just drove away in that moving van is important, the house structure we just left or the one we are moving to is not important. What is important is our family and being together eternally. ". So I'm not going to post a picture of our new house unless somebody really important is standing in front of it because the Crouchouse is more of a feeling and not so much the house....
