unexpected fun...

we took off yesterday...

for Walmart...

but, just before I got there...

I got sick and needed a bathroom fast...

Dollar General was easy access...

and look what I found there...

3 new friends...

perfect for Easter...

or anytime in my kitchen...

and my peace mug...

needed something to put my Crystal Lite in...

perfect fit...

and I got these on ebay...

and they came in the mail on Saturday...

I have been collecting embossed airbrushed postcards...

love them...

and a couple views of things on the mantle...

which will be moving outside when the deck is done...

construction begins next month...

can't wait...

I have already decorated it a million times in my mind...

can't wait to do it for real...

we've got snow headed this way...

this evening, tonight and tomorrow...

oh, well...

we need the nitrogen for the spring flowers...

and to make everything green up real nice when the warm weather comes in to stay...

so hope your Monday is going great...

its lunch time here and a trip to the store will round out the morning...

have a fun day!

I wonder...

if I could talk the guys into making this for me...

looks like too much fun...

I would get too far behind on my weed pulling!

change...

this morning, my best friend, Rebecca...

got a call from her mom...

her grams soul was set free...

and she left this earth behind...

we all know the bitter sweetness of letting someone go...

watching them close their eyes...

and flying away...

of the years that come until we meet again...

so, if you would...

pray for the family left behind...

to finish the journey of the earthly body...

to lay to rest a most amazing person in their lives...

Rebecca left nothing undone...

nothing unsaid...

she doted over her grams and all she asks is that we remember her mom...

who will be lost without her mom...

but remember Rebecca, too...

because even though she is at peace with the passing...

I know her heart is broken...

and she will so miss this beautiful lady that God blessed her with...

for they are kindred spirits...

so much alike...

the one that understood her when no one else did...

  

girl, you know you are always in my thoughts and prayers...

and I know so well the pain you have for yourself and the joy you have for her will be battling it out for awhile...

but God will walk you through each hour...

your grams was so proud of you...

and she loved you so...

I am only a phone call away...

but...

you know that...

vintage valentines...

not sure what the day is going to bring...

too cold to go anywhere...

maybe a good day to start spring house cleaning...

if I can get the guys in the mood...

more images...

just for you...

for all that you do for me...

so you can play today...

good day here...

fear is the one thing that stops us from reaching our goals...

from going that extra step beyond our comfort zone...

step FORWARD! 

live your life with courage...

with faith that God will clear your path...

will catch you if you stumble...

and will hold your hand the entire time...

if we all walk TOWARD the light...

we cannot fail...

and the path is always well lit...

have a great day...

going FORWARD!
