Last day of Spring break


My lilies are beautiful in the front entry

These geraniums are really thriving as well

My Iris are blooming!

They are so beautiful!

The Pansie are also enjoying these warm days.

I am very pleased with the entry walk.


I have been enjoying my children this week. They have had their Spring break from school.
Today we will be joining another Mother for the Picture show.
Last night the children joined us for our date. Our kid sitter had a car break down on her last minute. The children were so upset not to get to see their Auntie Jaye.
They were both very low blood sugar so we took off and got a nice Mexican meal for us. Once they ate they were much better and the crying stopped.
Yesterday Beloved took off a half day and gifted me with two dozen beautiful pink roses a card,

and his physical labor doing all the base boards in Dash's room. We need to get him back in his room tomorrow.

I got most of these packed up and Dash chose several Lego's to have to play with. The toys are going to be packed up soon.
We looked into Creigs list for boxes. I found a treasure 102 moving boxes nice clean and broken down for $200., but then she took only $100. for them! It was a lot to spend and I have never purchased moving boxes. I have always dumpster dive and get them from the grocery and such. I just can't do it ! I need to have a break so we actually purchased them.
This will go down in our history our 26 wedding anniversary gift was moving boxes! :) ha!
Just as we were going to load up into both cars with the children the phone rang.
"hay...how would you like to get rid of the kids for a while?...I am only 5-10 minutes away.." Julie again came to the service. She was curb side just as I finished watering the front. I 'll need to take a picture of my Iris and Lilly other flowers. She pulled and and the children were so thrilled to get to be with their old friend. The children used to be home schooled and are in different schools now.
I spent some time fixing a bad tangle in Doves hair (she has refused my help for several days and I just put my foot down and said I am fixing your hair and thats it! I also painted her toes and nails
It was fun. She is trying a new part in her hair and really likes it. It is not the best photo of her but she is so pretty .
Today we are doing a Movie with friends and so we are off.

Donetta,
If I had half of your energy or half of your determination to accomplish tasks, then my house would be beautiful and I wouldn't have a weight problem. Love your garden and always love to see your projects!

Happy Easter to you.

Older women likewise teach the younger women...

• how to love their husbands
• how to love their children
• how to be self-controlled
• how to be pure
• how to be keepers at home
• how to be kind and submissive (not subservient) to their own husbands. (See Titus 2:3-5)

'A woman's heart should be so hidden in Christ
That a man should have to seek Him first to find her.'

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not shouting 'I'm clean living,'
I'm whispering 'I was lost, Now I'm found and forgiven.'

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble and need Christ to be my guide.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak and need His strength to carry on.

When I say.. 'I am a Christian' I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed and need God to clean my mess.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are far too visible, but God believes I am worth it.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I still feel the sting of pain...
I have my share of heartaches, so I call upon His name.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not holier than thou,
I'm just a simple sinner Who received God's good grace, somehow!

Words have power. Here are a few of my favorite sayings.

  • A warm cup of tea is like a cuddle with a friend.
  • The North American Indians have a more eloquent word for ‘friend’ than we do in English. In their language, the word for friend literally means, “the one who carries my sorrows on his back.”
  • Return with Honor
  • The sage anticipates things that are difficult while they are easy, and does things that would become great while they are small. All difficult things in the world are sure to arise from a previous state in which they were easy, and all great things from one in which they were small. Therefore the sage, while he never does what is great, is able on that account to accomplish the greatest things."
  • "HOME IS WHERE YOUR STORY BEGINS"
  • “Live so that when your children hear these words they think of you… Fairness Caring Integrity Honesty Love Trust.”
  • "O Lord help my words to be gracious and tender today, for tomarrow I may have to eat them."
  • "No man has ever been shot while doing the dishes"

Zephaniah 3:17 NLT
