Another treasure that I couldn’t help but share.  I hope that all our prayers will be Lord change me!  There are so many areas in my life that I need to be changed in, but I know that in myself I cannot do it.  I need the Holy Spirit to do His transforming work—-even when [...]

Weary and heavy laden

Do you ever have a time where you feel weary and so heavy.  Almost like the gravity in your little circle of space has somehow increased.  That’s how I have been lately.  My heart is so heavy and I can’t seem to lay things at the foot of the cross and leave them there—-people and [...]

Another visit to Dr. C

Today we took off to E’ville to see my latest and greatest, Dr. C.  I have awaiting impatiently to get the results from the last battery of labs that were done 2 months ago.  Got to his office and the med center STILL had not forwarded the results.  Needless to say, he was a bit [...]

Bone tired

Started the day out with a walk on the trail.  It was a magnificent morning and the air was heavy with the aroma of spring.  I passed a wild wisteria and lots and lots of honeysuckle.  It was nice hubbie and me time.  (He has been after me for a while to start doing this [...]

Senior recognition today

Once again my heart breaks and soars at the same time.  Graduation—the end of one leg of a journey—the beginning of another.  A rite of passage.  The official point of departure from childhood into adulthood.  A new adventure.  Our last to move on—so closely after the first. 
This afternoon, the two brothers took on the challenge of taking apart [...]

Tuesday….

Auditor still here.  Went to the office, made sure he had everything he needed, then finished some work and went back home.  Checked on him again about 2.  He says he will be there two more days–yuck!
Back home, garden work, pulled up another dead shurb and planted a climbing rose—Queen Elizabeth–will be pink, climbing up [...]

Still not moving so well…

Another day of hoeing, raking, etc.  Still so darned sore, but the back yard is almost finished.  I ran out of mulch, so a trip to Walmart in BG will be necessary again.  I really, really love this rubber mulch that I am working with.  I love the idea of recycling something and it is [...]

Hard Day

Whew!  Glad to be home tonight.  It has been a hard day, on top of which I have not felt the best.  The aftershocks of this cold have me dragging and just generally feeling weird. 
This is NOT the “most wonderful time of the year” for many of the people I see.  I have to give [...]

A big thank you

I owe a great big thank you to Maggie for making me pretty.  She used the stripes in my bag (see post below) and jazzed it up to make it me!  I was so excited.  It’s like having a new outfit on.  So, Maggie, THANKS a bunch.  (you still have to teach me to do [...]

new for spring

This year for Christmas, my hubbie got me all this Vera Bradley stuff.  I loved the pattern and I guess he figured more was better.  Anyway, I have saved it to use when springtime came.  There is the bag, (and it has pockets ALL the way around the inside) glasses case, wallet, cosmetics bag, umbrella [...]

Cardinal watching……

This little guy sat in the willow tree outside my bedroom window and watched me ironing clothes this morning.  Every time I would move he would look at the window.  Isn’t he beautiful.  About the time I finished ironing, he flew off as if to say “I’ll see you again another day”.  Hope you enjoy.

Why do these things always happen when one of my BOYS is around??

If anyone asked me, I could write a book on embarassing moments.  Today would have been a chapter all its own.
I originally had a dr appointment in Evansville, so scheduled no appointments for today.  Kid #2 got up this morning an inch taller than he was last night, so he needed new pants.  Since I had the open [...]

Hubbie did good!

Look at what hubbie got me for V-Day.  12 hearts for Valentines day and they are all semi-precious stones.  The one I am wearing today is hematite.  He ordered this from Danbury Mint.  He is so sweet♥
The little jewelry box was an added bonus.  I just love this man!!!

The way I feel right now!

This is how I feel right now.  I am STILL at the office at 8:35 because I am waiting on hubbie to finish some work.  We came in the same vehicle so no choice.  I want a bath and my pajamas.  I have that yucky feeling you get when you’ve had the same clothes on [...]

Just felt a need to be red.

In honor of St. Valentine’s day, I made a temporary change to my presentation.  One of these days I am going to take the time to learn to customize this thing, but that day is not today.  It is almost midnight and I’m sitting here fooling around.  I had better get my little rear in [...]

Isn’t this just how it is?????

One day a farmer’s donkey fell down into a well. The animal cried piteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do.Finally, he decided the animal was old, and the well needed to be covered up anyway; it just wasn’t worth it to retrieve the donkey.He invited all his neighbors to [...]

Yikes!!!

Whoooosh!!  Did you hear that.  We have just had massive wind going on here.  GEeze, scarey.  Three alarm blasts.  (pulse going a little faster)
It blew the doors to the front of my office open and it sounded like hail was hitting the glass.  The siding was rattling and the building was shaking.
We developed a contingency [...]

Organization, HA!

I have been doing some study on temperment types, especially my own, to understand a little more of what keeps me ticking.  I have learned that across the board, I am sanguine—-no not penguin, SANGUINE.  This temperament type has a very real need for people—to talk to them, to be with them—even if home alone, the [...]

Menopause misery…..

up and down
churning
tension and anxiety
crawling out of your skin
crying at any and almost every moment
thinking you’d rather die—-then regretting the thought
grateful for a moment’s reprieve
knowing God is there, but where
a brother who knows his stuff coming to my aid
a sister-in-law walking the same path who send beautiful flowers today
information that tells me I’m not crazy, [...]

Friday blues….

After what I thought was a tremendous group time last night, I have had such a yucky day.  I’ve said it before that there should be some unwritten spiritual law that prohibits women from having children leaving home and beginning menopause at the same time.  The keynote event of my day has been sitting at [...]
