Goodwill finds...

1.99...
so fitting for the day, couldn't leave it there...

1.49...
very small, vintage yellow bowl...
great for a water bowl for the babies...

and so cute!

pirate costume for Bebe- 1.99...

ahoy, matey...
get this stupid thing off of me...

after the photo shoot, dude...
yeah, cruelty to animals just hit a new low...

we had a great day yesterday...
the other Goodwill finds were 4 mens long sleeve dress shirts for me...
to garden in...
we ate out for lunch and supper...
took walks and a drive...
napped...
and just enjoyed the day...

until the phone call from my step mom...

God's plans are not always our plans...
and we are all leaving this world behind us one of these days...
she just wanted to live long enough to see dad through his time here...
but you just don't know how God works these things out...
not until you are walking daily in the struggles...
and they wouldn't be such a struggle if we trusted him more...
please keep her in your prayers...
if this isn't fixable...
and her days are fewer than what we had planned them to be...
maybe, just maybe...
she's the one He is protecting...
because if dad goes first...
she would be so lost without him...
his dementia is a blessing sometimes...
he is so unaware...
if she passes first, he will deal with it better than the rest of us...
I know that sometimes when we are blind sided with trials and tribulations...
that we lose our footing and feel like we are about to fall...
but there are arms, strong arms that reach out and catch us...
just fall into those arms...
its the safest place to be...

thank you for all your prayers and words of encouragement...
prayer buddies are the best kind of buddies to have...
bless you all...
