Fun Day


My sister and my mom treated me to a card making party. We had a lot of fun and many laughs. They are so sweet to include me in their crafting.

36 Long



I got a card in the mail today from my cousin. We have lost touch for a while. If you are old and a girl...you would so laugh at this card.

Through the screen door...



It backs down the drive way. The dogs begin to bark. The driver clunks the keg off the tailgate and it thuds onto the ground. The dogs continue to yap. It takes only a few minutes. I hate this truck. It fuels most of our fights. It delays any healing. It helps to numb his pain.

Tour of Italy



It is Wednesday and that means...Life Group! Actually we meet 2 Wednesdays a month. It is a great group of people. Men, women, friends, relatives, pastors, teachers, wives, husbands and musicians, who are funny, knowledgeable, deep thinkers, comedians and all with a love for Jesus. We all do our best and we all fail. We all get up and do our best again.
Tonight the group was a 3 of hearts.
Just 3 of us, so we went to dinner at the Olive Garden. We took the tour of Italy. My love for the Lifers grows with every conversation. I value their wisdom, experience and love of God. I am thankful our paths have crossed.

Vanilla Pumpkin



Wanted to go out and get ice cream, but instead I made 2 point pumpkin muffins using vanilla cake mix. Going shopping in the morning for my weeks supply of "better food choices" so these will have to do for now.

Unconnected Parts


Do you have a drawer like this? Where all of the unconnected parts and pieces live? I try to my best to pull a Martha Stewart and get it all organized, but it fails over and over again. I just close the drawer and let it float away. Can't see the mess, therefore there is no mess.

Board by the Door



When I see his skateboard by the front door, I know he is home. When I see his skateboard by the front door, I know he is safe. When I see his skateboard by the front door, I should pray for him. So much potential, so much waisted time. So much love for the boy that is not mine. He is a child of God and that is his saving grace. He has a plan for my Haggard Prophet. I get to sit back and watch it all unfold.
