Well, this week flew on past. Monday Monday was my weekly Lyme treatment. Those are pretty quick each week. One more treatment and I can go to every other week. I’m honestly a little nervous about the appointment with the hematologist a week from now to begin the process of figuring out how to deal with chronic anemia. The paperwork…
Last week, found us in Tennessee! Paul had a work event planned for Blountsville. That is quite a drive! So close in fact, that we found ourselves accidentally crossing over into Virginia at one time. I’m always thankful for the quiet time during the day while he works. This time, I worked on some book reviews I needed to finish.…
Last week’s ETHAN Project challenge was to find time to make some new friends or reconnect with old friends. I enjoyed reading your stories, and I hope it inspired you to make time for your friends. I’ve had the most fun with this project. Our summer is off to a fantastic start and only a couple of weeks in, we…
Texas is beautiful. (Paul and I eating at an Italian diner and watching the rain fall across from our hotel.) The wildflowers are blooming. The bluebonnets especially, have come to life- they are magnificent. Our last stop on our Texas trip was Fort Worth. The very best thing I did when arriving in Fort Worth was walk to the…
I’ve been taken with our roses lately. I find myself lingering over them- dreaming of a time when the entire rose bed might be full of blooms, watching the bees buzz as they do their daily work while we enjoy the fruits of their labor. I cut several stems a few nights back. They are arranged in vases on the…
YES! They were all home. I was in my p.j.’s, feeding Owen and in walked Joshua. It made my day. It was this time last year, that my mama passed. That thought never leaves me now. I thought of her in heaven. I do wish she could see my family all together, but I know she would never want to…
Sometimes I write here, not so much for those of you keeping up with our family, but more just so I don’t forget a moment that is important for me. The first of the year (2014), has brought closure to an item, or two, which has followed me through the last year. Though it was painful, it wasn’t something I…
The Lord speaks to us in the most unexpected ways. It’s been a week of thought and contemplation for me. Through this year, I have continually sought peace through all circumstances, and the grace to handle what may come. As I was in my bed praying in the early morning hours yesterday, the Lord brought to mind a hymn. My…
My visits out with Paul always have some adventure. This week, we visited the Georgia Aquarium. It was AMAZING.
It’s time to start considering my health. Well, actually very much past time. Paul and I are both on a diet. He decided on Weight Watchers. I’m trying Trim Healthy Mama. We’ve both been on our diet for a week on Sunday. At weigh-in, he had lost 11lbs. I had lost 9 1/2. Obviously, this is first week water weight…
Paul bought me roses…. They made me a big, southern breakfast!My family worked hard to make my day wonderful in every way. I’m very blessed. I love each of them …. ……..the Lord has poured out blessings. I think I had one of the best birthdays of my entire life.
I can’t believe I’m even having to type this post. Of course, the alternative doesn’t sound so good right now either, LOL! Am I really this old?? Where has the time gone? If you had told me at age 20 that at age 40 I would be expecting my 12th child, raising a garden and chickens, I would have laughed and laughed.…
