Empty

Alas our house is empty... Well, let me define my terms. We no longer have the pleasure of hosting our dear friends the Erber, N. DeLadurantey, Zes, and Linton families, Brett and Alex Harris, Hosea Hornaman and Jamie Billings. We said our final farewells today to the last of our company and find it a bit strange not to be going to bed late, doing mass cooking and mountains of laundry. Dancing, acting, laughing, watching movies and slide shows, playing volleyball, taking oil of oregano as a group and watching everyone's reaction, fixing costumes, and much more!!! What amazing memories were made over the past ten days. The Lord has enriched our lives by giving us the sweet friendship and unfailing love of such wonderful people. We have tasted a bit of Heaven around here lately and will always be grateful for the precious moments shared with these dear saints.
The English Country Dance/Ball went absolutely wonderfully! We strung lights in the rafters of the pavilion and danced until the stroke of midnight. A little crowd of those weary souls who made it to the end, then helped us clean up and followed us home where we enjoyed a very late or shall I say, early second dinner. We then watched a film from last years dance and reminisced about the delight and aching feet we experienced. Our late night guests departed around 1:30 A.M. and our party continued on until about 3:30 A.M. (with the exception of the little ones and those smart enough to find their way upstairs and on their pillows!)
A special thank-you to all those that helped make the last ten days run smoothly and to those that left us such thoughtful gifts upon their departure...It was truly a delight and a privilege to host our dear friends. We love you all!!! You might give Brandon's blog
a look if you are interested in more dance pictures.

You may be surprised, astonished, amazed, or bewildered at the fact that we actually have pictures up with this post. We hope you enjoy them and enjoy them some more...It may be a while before such a feat is accomplished again! Who knows?!

    Hmm. It appears from the posting time that you are still going to bed on the late side. :>)

    Great pics. The B&W photos especially catch the eye.

    Thanks for posting pictures. I wish we could have stayed longer as I enjoyed being with you all again. Thanks for everything! Looking forward to seeing you all in January.

    Dear Hubers,

    Your family is such a blessing! We love you and hope you all get a chance to rest and recuperate from all the excitement of the past few weeks.

    The dance was lots of fun!

    God bless,
    Josh

    Thanks so much for welcoming our invasion last week! We had a wonderful time, and you all are great hosts and hostesses and made us feel quite at home. We rejoice in the friendship of your family as a special blessing from God, and look forward to next time!

    Empty? With as large of a family as you have, you are definitely speaking in relative terms! But I understand the feeling.

    Question from an ignorant Yank; what is an “English Country Dance/Ball”??? I am sure it is not a worldly type of dancing, but what type of dancing is it?

    English Country Dancing is a form of line dancing. We use the historic dances from around the Regency Period, though I have heard that they originated in the seventeenth century. Sorry we are not quite able to elaborate on their history but they are quite beautiful to behold and great fun.

    Thanks for hosting the dance and opening up your home to so many, almost regardless of the hour. God bless your family.

    I had to laugh when I read the description of the week's activities, specifically remembering the oil of oregano event!

    May God bless the Huber family who gives so much of themselves to so bless others.

    And you probably already know this, but just for the record: I MISS YOU!!!!!

    I'll echo the others, and say thank-you for the lovely pictures! It sounds and looks as if you truly had a blessed time. :-) May the Lord bless you as you get back into the swing of things.
