A LITTLE LATE....BUT.

My first picture belongs to a post back in September 8, 2009. My very good friend painted this and sent it to me as a surprise. I saw it on her blog and told her how beautiful it was. And next thing...here it was. I treasure it so, so much. Took me a long time to decide how to frame it. But I love what I came up with. Thank you my dearest friend Sandy. I Love you from my heart.
Now this picture was to be posted with my last blog. But as I said it wouldn't let me post it. So here is our finished product. YUMMY! The flowers are from my garden. The white Lilly is on it's second year of growth. Started with one stalk in planting of 2009. 2010 two stalks. Now I can't wait to see what will happen in this summer. Three stalks would be so exciting. OR maybe each stalk will produce 2 stalks. Wow I didn't think of that till just now. Check back and I will let you know for sure.

Ok that is all for now. Need to get going and work on some cards. I will post them soon. After all that is why I started this blog...what..has it been two years...No I think three. OOPS. I'm a slow turtle.

Have a happy and sunny day. Blessings to all.

~~LIVING IN THE PAST~~

I've always felt I was born in the wrong time. I think I'd love to be back in the late 1800's or early 1900's. Maybe if I was I wouldn't like it. But I do enjoy cleaning, planting, canning and cooking. But I never have the time for canning anymore. In fact I am kept so busy I have little time to do the things I long to do.

One reason is...dada...the computer. I spend time reading other blogs on the things I enjoy. Don't get me wrong, I do bust out a thing or two I enjoy. Keeping up with life is such a time consumer.
If we didn't need that little green stuff. ($$) I could stay home and play with what I love. I'm learning how to make time for myself.

My mother and I made some pickles this last summer. (2010) Her favorite pickle. We had a blast working together. I think she has just one jar left. I have only opened 3.

Well I have a lot to learn about blogging. I have the finished picture to add and it wont let me. I think this happened another time. Anyway you can see my mother. She is 76 in this pic. I'll try one more time to add one more pic. If not, thanks for your visit. Till next time God Bless.

The birth of spring

Spring is looking better every day. Even thought we had some snow and a little ice last week it went away really quick. Yes that is spring in Indiana. 18 more days till SPRING. And 19 more days till my youngest daughters Birthday. She will turn 25. I feel it's been so long ago. Now her baby is almost 2. This picture is right after birth. She had lots of drugs and some of the day was fuzzy. I got to be with her during delivery. I was so amazed at the process of birth from the other side. WOW...God is awesome. This little fella is walking and jibber jabbering all over the place. Such a joy to see my 2 grandsons playing together. I can't wait for spring and take them both out to play in the warm sunshine. Spring rain, mud and all, I'm ready.

RAINBOWS OF BLESSING.

January 3, 2011

I remember when everyone was all worried about the year turning to 2000. Boy did it sound strange. 2000. But here we are still 2011. I'm still walking the face of the earth and haven't fallen off yet.

Today on my way home about 4:15 I saw a rainbow in the west of town. (( Or whatever it is called without rain. )) It was like a visit from God. Telling me I am doing good so far. Keep up the good work. If only I can keep this outlook on my day to day walk on earth with those I love and care for and those I run into with everyday living. It reminded me to say a prayer for those who need it. Some special people who need it very much. Cancer is in their body. Life isn't done with them dear God. Heal them and let them be a lite for you.

My evening goal is to go to bed early and rest up for the cleaning job I have tomorrow. Need that energy to make it the 4 hrs. Every time I have this job I feel a pull to not do it. But God is with me every time to make it through and come away feeling like a winner. I ask for words of encouragement. And every time I hear his voice cheering me on.

Blessings and Love to all.

Moments of the past.

I often find myself day dreaming of the way things use to be. Not too many things to do in a day. When the day ends you had time to sit and enjoy. Less things in the house. No computers or cell phones. Life just had time to relax.

It's hard to find that time now. It is always hurry to get one thing done and move on to the next. I've been falling of the past few days. More things to do then time in the day. 3 dogs, One child One grandchild and One (thank God) husband. That is just in our house. then the other 2 daughters, one son in law and the other grand baby. Boy do I have GREAT Grand Babies.

I want to go to the less stressful and more simple days. But then again I stayed home. I had more time then. Why do we fill our days with so much?

I want them back before I'm too old. Too bake for the grand kids and then send them home. hehehe. Getting older isn't just like I had thought. But it's my life as I know it and I shall enjoy and rejoice in what blessings I have.

A DAY OF BLESSINGS.

June 8, 2010......

Today was a very good day. Took Parker to day camp. Went home did a few chores. Took a nap because I could and getting up at 5 am isn't fun. Went to work and stopped at Krogers on my home, which I found Jen and Parker there. Parker hung with me and as we were packing our groceries in the cruiser I got a call to pick up Gage at day care. So off we went. He was surprised to see Parker.

When we got home the girl next door was having a b day party and sent over some cake. Well Gage ate cake and a cup of milk. Up to this point he hasn't liked to eat. At least for me. Then at supper he ate a big meal. I had to take him away from the table. I gave him a bath and let him play in the running water with his hands. He loves to feel the water trickle on his fingers. He felt the water for 10 min. Then got him out of tub. Clean and fresh I took him home and daddy gave him a bottle and I slipped out the door.

Parker was on good behavior today also. I love when he acts like a little man. Beats the days that he loves to be loud. As I say"he's such a boy" Having 3 girls this is so different.

It was a blessed day. A day to take it all in and thank God for my many blessings. When I get upset for things I don't have I remember that with more work I can have what I want. Maybe not just like I want...but close enough.

Catching up on time

We had a birthday party for our middle daughter yesterday. She turned 26. Wow. I didn't have my first child till I was 26. She has an almost 6 year old son. She ha a lot going on for her. It was a beautiful sight seeing us all around the table. Two grand kids getting excited eating CAKE.

In 13 days my youngest will graduate from college. Hope she is able to get a job she is seeking.

And then in 9 days after that her son will turn one. HMMMM....He is getting practice eating cake before the big 1st birthday.

We have had strong winds for 4 days now. As long as the big storms stay away. It's time to get the hummingbird feeders out and call the little birds to eat.

The day is calling me to get off to work.

Blessings till we talk again.
