Show & Tell: Trunk of Goodies

After my eye appointment Wednesday, I was able to 'run' on over to Goodwill, where waiting for me was this $5.oo trunk, three scarves (which my little ones love to play with), and $1.00 wooden goose!!
(I bought this little doll house and contents for $5.00 previously)

Score!!

Have a GREAT Weekend!!
Happy Show & Tell Friday!!!

Thankful Thursday: 03/26/09

Guess where I went?

Yep, hubby and I went to the eye doctor (this actually looks like my old eye doc), this was our first time to see our new doctor and he was absolutely the nicest guy!


I bought contacts...
(don't ask me why one of these is so big:)



Apparently I'm a real grown up now, and at 40+ I qualify for bifocals...

I know I'm going to look great in them...

I am so thankful my eyes are healthy...

And now I can see colors and things sharper and brighter...

I am so thankful for our health and that we could afford this right now. Being able to see is a lovely thing:)

Have a GREAT Thankful Day!!



My goal this year is to soak it up, to bloom where I am planted, and enjoy the ride...
Counting my many blessings naming them one by one...

Son-Day: "What If"

What If by Nichole Nordeman

What if you're right?
And he was just another nice guy
What if you're right?
What if it's true?
They say the cross will only make a fool of you
And what if it's true?

What if he takes his place in history
With all the prophets and the kings
Who taught us love and came in peace
But then the story ends
What then?

But what if you're wrong?
What if there's more?
What if there's hope you never dreamed of hoping for?
What if you jump?
And just close your eyes?
What if the arms that catch you, catch you by surprise?
What if He's more than enough?
What if it's love?

What if you dig
Way down deeper than your simple-minded friends
What if you dig?
What if you find
A thousand more unanswered questions down inside
That's all you find?

What if you pick apart the logic
And begin to poke the holes
What if the crown of thorns is no more
Than folklore that must be told and retold?

You've been running as fast as you can
You've been looking for a place you can land for so long

But what if you're wrong?

Bloomin' Tuesday: 03/24/09

Kalachoe blooming brightly:

Beautiful, full, and fragrant cyclamen:



The happy kitchen window:


Outside, snapdragons in pink:


And buttery yellow:



The tropical pot is cut back and now on the front deck (left corner); with a maple sugar hibiscus on its left; a pot of a running rose, iris, rosemary, bird of paradise, and snap dragons: last in white pot mint, violas, and yellow snap dragons: (can you spot which kitty is real?)
Happy Bloomin' Tuesday!

Son-Day: "There Is Sunshine In My Soul Today"

There is Sunshine in My Soul Today
There is sunshine in my soul today,
More glorious and bright
Than glows in any earthly sky,
For Jesus is my Light.

(Refrain)
O there’s sunshine, blessèd sunshine,
When the peaceful, happy moments roll;
When Jesus shows His smiling face,
There is sunshine in the soul.

There is music in my soul today,
A carol to my King,
And Jesus, listening, can hear
The songs I cannot sing.

Refrain

There is springtime in my soul today,
For, when the Lord is near,
The dove of peace sings in my heart,
The flowers of grace appear.

Refrain

There is gladness in my soul today,
And hope and praise and love,
For blessings which He gives me now,
For joys “laid up” above.

Refrain

Words: Eli­za E. Hew­itt, in Glad Hal­le­lu­jahs, by Wil­liam J. Kirk­pat­rick and John Swe­ney (Phil­a­del­phia, Penn­syl­van­ia: Thom­as T. Task­er, Sr., 1887). Hew­itt suf­fered a se­vere back in­ju­ry, but af­ter six months in a cast, she was fin­al­ly able to take a simp­le walk in the park. The joy she felt at her re­cov­ery prompt­ed these words.

All my friends know the low rider
The low rider is a little higher




Low rider drive a little slower

Low rider is a real goer

Take a little trip
Take a little trip
Take a little trip
