Beautiful – Page 2 – Merry Heart Crafts

We’re getting snow! The girls and I went to Roanoke today to do some shopping at Sam’s. We knew the forecast was for snow so we didn’t take too long. It started to snow just as we were leaving. We decided not to take the parkway because we know how dangerous it can get. We enjoyed a nice ride home. The snow was beautiful. However, by the time we got home the roads were started to get a little slick. I’m glad we left when we did.

Beautiful! I feel the urge to make cookies and drink some hot cocoa. Enjoy your day and God bless.

Our Christmas cactus is blooming so beautiful this year. It adds so much color to the room. This plant was a gift years ago from one of the bible study ladies. It is an easy plant to keep alive.

Today is ladies bible study. We will be watching the movie “The book of Ruth”. This will be the first time we have watched a movie on bible study day. We thought that since we had just finished our study on Ruth it would be good to watch the movie as a little break before we start our new study next week. I will also be busy making rolls for our thanksgiving meal at church. I have never frozen the dough before so I hope it works out well. I think I might make some cinnamon rolls to take also.

We have sunshine here today. A little cool but not too bad. I think I will be able to hang our clothes outside to dry. Enjoy your day and 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.

We went over to our friends house today to celebrate her daughter’s birthday. We had homemade pizza and birthday cake. It was delicious. Thanks again Vicki. Then she gave me a surprise. She made me this beautiful wall hanging! I could’nt wait to get home and put it on my wall. I think it looks just perfect in my dining room. To me, nothing says you care about people more than hand made items. I LOVE IT! Tonight’s menu at church is baked spaghetti, salad, bread, green beans, corn, and cake with ice cream. Sounds good, huh. Weather here is rain, rain, and then maybe some more rain. Oh well, at least its not ice. We now have mud everywhere. The snow has melted and the ice has melted and they say there is a chance for flooding. I’m glad the Good Lord is in charge of all this and not me. Well, I better get busy getting those green beans ready. God Bless.

This picture was taken the other day when we went on our hike. Absolutely beautiful. Leaves were everywhere. They sounded so nice when we walked on them. Of course the batteries died in the camera before I got any other shots but this one is nice. On our hike we spotted a baby possum walking on a log. This would have been a great picture but the camera hung useless around my neck because we didn’t think to take extra batteries with us. Oh well, life goes on. We had a great hike and enjoyed outside time. Today is overcast and slightly chilly. Just enough to need a fire. George and a friend of ours from church cut wood yesterday afternoon. We heat this old farmhouse with wood and it takes a LOT of wood. If the rain holds off we will be splitting and stacking the wood this evening. Always work to do. Speaking of work, lunch break is over and time for school. Gotta go. God Bless.
