Yesterday was a fun day.  Baby Sam came to MawMaw’s house for the very first time.

He seemed to enjoy himself.  I know MawMaw and PawPaw certainly did enjoy it.

Sam investigating the world from PawPaw’s shoulder.

Just one more picture.  Don’t he look content and happy.

Daniel had a great time with a bottle sprayer filled with water.  All MawMaw’s plants needed a drink and he had a great time giving it to them.

I think this is my favorite picture of the day.  Ain’t he soooooo cute?

What do you think they are looking at?

A frog of course.

My Julie.  The gift my Lord surprised me with at 40.

At 41 my Lord gave me another gift.  Grace.  I never imagined the Lord had more babies for me.  My daughters(all 3) have taught me so much about life and love.    I am such a blessed woman.  Such joy He has given me.  My family is so important to me and I cannot never thank the Lord enough for allowing me to be part of their lives.  God is so good.  Enjoy your day and God bless.

I wanted to show you all why clothes dry so quickly here in Floyd.  We are blessed with wind almost all the time.  This is a blessing in the summer.  Not so much in winter.    Anyway it makes the clothes dry quickly and they are usually pretty soft.  Thank you Lord.  God bless.

What a difference a day can make.  Yesterday the snow was falling.  Today is equally as beautiful but in a different way.  The sun is shining and as you can see the sky is a georgeous blue.  It occurred to me that sometimes life is like that too.  Each day brings a different type of beauty.  Sometimes we have to look deeper to find the beauty and sometimes it is easier to find.  I believe God has a treasure for us each day, it is our responsiblity to search and find it.    Today will be another snuggle in day.  Church at home.  Maybe play some games with our girls.  Fun stuff.  Family stuff.  The things memories are made of.  I love days like these.  I wanted to tell everyone that I now have a comment link on each post.  If you want to leave a comment just click on the link.  It is always exciting when someone leaves a comment.  Thanks Dave for fixing this for me.  I want to take a minute to let you all know what a great son-in-law I have.  The Lord did a great job picking him out.  He is always ready to help us (no matter how dirty the job).  I just wanted you to know, Dave, we’re glad you are part of our family.  Okay enough of that, I don’t want his head to get too big.  Todays menus is venison roast cooking on the wood stove and also some beans.  I think maybe biscuits and fried potatoes would be good with this.  I try to cook on our wood stove as often as possible.  I think the food tastes better and of course it saves on the electric bill.  I’m always for saving money.  Well, I think I’ll get busy enjoying my day.  God Bless.

Today has been a busy day.  Rain and temperatures have fallen all day.  A good day for sewing.  I finished the Christmas lap quilt and had enough material left to make an apron.  I think they both look pretty good.  I hope to sell the quilt for $25.0o and aprons are $12.00.  I wish I had more seasonal material, fall & Christmas especially.  I also set up another quilt this evening but I think I’m done for today.   Tomorrow is church day and I need to do my Sunday School and Sunday Evening lessons.  I think for tomorrow night at church I will take potato soup.  These colder temperatures make me think of soup.   Have a good evening and God Bless.

Today has been a wet, foggy day in Floyd.  Temperatures only about 60 for the high.  Not much can be done outside when the weather is like this.   So today we settled in for a day of half school.  This means we only do half our normal lessons which made the girls very happy.  A day for reading, baking, and enjoying being a stay at home wife.  I believe blessings come in disquise sometimes, just to see if we’ll recognize them.  Thank you Lord, that I can stay at home, teach my girls and snuggle in for a foggy day.  God Bless.

God certainly knows how to say good morning.  The temperatures dropped down to 40 last night.  Pretty chilly.  The fog (something we have a lot of) was putting in an appearance this morning.  When the sun breaks through, the fog doesn’t stand a chance.  Isn’t that how life goes.  When the Son shows up, the darkness and fog of our lives doesn’t stand a chance.  My morning devotion.  God Bless.
