For many years we lived in Toad Hall, an old American Gothic Foursquare house named for the mansion in Wind in the Willows although ours wasn’t really a mansion, the kids just thought it was. Now we live in a different home – one more suited to aging with dignity – yes, well, we can hope – The House Between. “Between” because we are living that stage of life between now and what is to come. Sound a little macabre? It’s not. We needed move to a space with main floor accessibility for older people who may not always be able to climb stairs to sleep and eliminate. We love this home in a quiet neighborhood with offices overooking the wooded ravine behind where we feed birds and watch coyotes play leap frog. We love knowing, too, that this is not our final place – there is more healing and goodness in the next life. I’ve kept the name of my blog toadsdrinkcoffee because I don’t know how to migrate to a new one. The name is now even more obscure, but it had to do with living in Toad Hall and my addiction to coffee. However, I did migrate my old publication – Notes From Toad Hall – to the new one Letters from the House Between.
Thanks for stopping by.

So sweet! The children did a beautiful job!
I am seriously coveting those sheep costumes! And I'm certain that, had glow sticks been invented, they would have been used at a party in Bethlehem. This made me smile big today!
Merry Christmas, Margie! To come clean, I just saw it first in Auckland, I didn't actually help put it together. But it's the sweetest retelling.
I got home three days ago. One of the first things I did was read the winter 'Notes' which I found on my dad's desk. I'm dying to get my hands on some of those books you recommended.
God with us!
Great video! Great gift on Christmas Eve. Thanks for sharing!
