Another Friday...

I finished all but one of my census calls so I got to stay home today. I worked on Gracie. I had the fabric already cut out and decided to use it rather than cut another one. I had fun trying to design her dress and am pleased with the results.

ask me where all my good qualities come from and I will show you this pic

My youngest daughter took this picture of DH and me. We don't look too bad for old folks!

Mad, mad, mad!

Its beautiful weather and I am having breathing/ histamine difficulties, still! I am not happy. I need to cool it and remember God knows about this and His ways are not my ways. DH has been overwhelmingly wonderful. I am so grateful. Work has slipped by the wayside and I am trying not to be anxious. "Be anxious for nothing but in everything by prayer and supplication let your requests be made known to God..." Tell Him, tell Him.

Yard sale finds...

Finally A solution to not breathing...ride around in an air conditioned car! Really it helps. And finding several good yards sales upped the "good feeling" as well. I am washing some of the clothing finds right now. The two wicker doll chairs are on the table and the pile of fabric, lace and assorted other sewing items. I'll post pix when I'm done washing and ironing...I spent less than $20 and had at least a $100 worth of fun!!! And I got an address as well! God knows the things that tickle me! Thank you Lord.

Slowing down and paying attention...

My husband says he loves me. God says He loves me. My kids say they love me. Can I hear them? I need to slow down and pay attention. Breathing difficulties are making that happen. Maybe thats why I am having trouble breathing... to slow me down!

I'm feeling better. Ths guy is proof. I made him last night and this morning! I can breathe again.

I Need to Breathe...

Its been a long, tortuous morning. My breathing is bad but my brain is racing. Every small physical activity requires a lot of energy. I have stayed put and am trying to reassure myself that this too shall pass. It do not lessen my anxiety about not being able to function as well as I want to. God help me.

Has He Abandoned Our Nation?

He will stay His rage only so long. Our nation, founded by men of God has chosen to disregard God's laws. It seems that He has abandoned our nation to its own devises. He has lifted His Hand. Right now it seems that people do whatever they want. Promiscuity, pornography, sexual deviance, child abuse, abortion, and a myriad of other behaviors permeate our country.

I am perplexed and wonder what I should be doing. I want God to be pleased with me.

Some of a great big family (10 missing!)

The Best Birthday EVER...

I had the best birthday ever... The only thing that kept it from being perfect was the absence of Andrew and Tee and Jo and their families. I rested, I visited, I played, I enjoyed. God is so good. He blessed me with a delightful family. The grandkids were a pleasure to have around with their giggles and racing around. The grown kids were fun to watch relating so easily to one another. I feel like my job of parenting has come full circle. These are good years!

He says, "I know the plans I have for you!"
