Part Cinq

Mike pointed out that my blog should be Jane in Europe Part Cinq because this will be our 5th cemetery assignment when we arrive in Belgium. He's right but I guess I was referring to a movie or quote when I was renaming my blog. I was looking for something catchy. How many people out there even know how to pronounce "Cinq"... I didn't before we moved to Belgium in 2001...

Moving is the big focus right now for us. When is the question! It has finally been determined that we will need to live in a rental home while our home on the grounds is renovated. Today Jeff and his wife are viewing a home that is just outside the back gate hoping that it is "the one." After living in another town here in Italy, living near the cemetery makes us feel more connected to our new life while we wait to move into our permanent home. There's something special about our life here in Europe that comes from Mike's career watching over these hallowed grounds. It is a feeling or an emotion that cannot be named but can be felt like a warm afghan on a snowy day.

I sit here waiting for the phone to ring and life goes on...

Ciao!
