I'm back...

after the draft...

we went out for a few minutes before the rain starts...

the snow is all gone...

again...

I got several things done today...

and I will show you later...

I need to get photos...

all the little buddies were out with us...

a quick romp around the yard and back in...

they say we could get a lot of rain out of this storm that's coming...

and it could mean muddy feet and dirty cars...

but for me...

it means green grass, buds on the trees and flowers popping their little heads up....

it's going to take rain to get this spring party started...

and the gray skies let it happen...

the sun can't do it's thing until everything is watered good...

it's starting to look a little more like spring and a little less like winter...

now we need to see if March comes in like a lion or a lamb...

I will be MIA most of the day...

DH and Craig do fantasy baseball online...

today is the draft...

DH will have MY computer...

it's really ours...

but I use it more...

but for today, I will be benched...

I will be either napping' or makin' more flowers...

so I will catch you later...

pun intended...

UNANSWERED PRAYER...

The preacher's 5 year-old daughter noticed that her father always paused and bowed his head for a moment before starting his sermon. One day, she asked him why.


'Well, Honey,' he began, proud that his daughter was so observant of his messages. 'I'm asking the Lord to help me preach a good sermon.'...


'How come He doesn't answer it?' she asked.
 

my dad and I had a conversation something like this many, many years ago...

it didn't go over too well...

LOL

when my dad started preaching...

he didn't preach on Sunday morning...

it was either Sunday night, Saturday night or Thursday night...

my mom worked days so sometimes she didn't go through the week...

and my brother just didn't want to go...

so my job every time that dad preached...

was to get me ready early...

then I picked out dad's clothes, socks and shoes for that time...

while he was shaving...

and have them all laid out on the bed with a tie that matched...

then I would put our bibles on the kitchen table...

when dad came out of the bathroom...

I had to hold the bottom part of the hole in the tee shirt...

so it wouldn't mess up his hair...

then I folded down his collar after he tied his tie...

then I got my coat on and waited in the kitchen...

dad would put his foot in the chair so I could tie his shoe...

and then we did the other...

because I tied prettier bows...

and then off we would go...

just dad and me...

and on the way home he would ask me about the sermon...

and I always told him straight up...

he always told people that his job was to preach...

but mine was to get the preacher to the church on time...

and I did...

every time...
my mom and dad used to sing this song on the way to church...
it was their favorite to harmonize on...

Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we are here, we might as well dance.

mail call...

got 2 packages in the mail this morning...

looooovvvvveeee this postcard...

large letter and I have never seen anything like it...

it's a keeper...

there are vitnage ladies hiding in the lettering...

the says it's from your loving daughter Lill...

the other package was full of lace...

4 different kinds...

3 of them pink...

and the smallest for the centers worked up just fine...

and will go good with the brown, white or off white...

shoot, might even look good with the other large pink lace...

I haven't been feeling very well this week...

Wednesday and Thursday weren't great...

but yesterday was the worst...

got up feeling like I had been run over by a tractor...

and then it got worse, LOL...

found 2 boils taking my shower...

the one burst last night as I was going to bed...

the other one this morning as I was going to take another shower...

migraine on top of all of that...

but must be doing better with my diet...

boils up and burst within 20 hours...

that's a good thing...

I have been taking honey for my cold...

which is still hanging around but not as bad...

it took me all day yesterday to do the 2 posts for the award...

but I just kept pluggin' away at it...

haven't had time to visit all of you  like I like to do...

so this evening and tomorrow, I plan on doing that...

my fever of 3 days broke at 3am...

I feel so much better with just that gone...

I need to do my PT this morning...

running late on that...

and then I'm going to lay down and rest a little so I don't get completely worn out...

it's sure been a short week...

I lost at least 3 days...

and have no clue where they went...

Have a fun weekend!

Hugs- Tete
