I have a few projects I am doing.

Can't wait to show you

So

Be sure to come back. .

The Love of My Life

A sentimental post for today,

I hope you don't mind. . 

Today

April 19th

Would be my 

Husband's  Birthday!

20 Years ago on a cold dark night

Death took him from me. . 

My life has never been the same.

I have changed!

He was my high school sweetheart

The love of my life

The father of my 4 children. . .

From that point on I would see things differently.

My journey on this earth has continued. . 

But I see the world through different eyes

And I hear the world with different ears.

My view has taken on more colors

And I see vistas I never knew were there

The music is more soft, more sublime, more meaningful.

The word Eternal has new meaning. . . 

More Power 

More Hope

To you my love

Some day we will meet again

Never to be separated. . 

We will continue our journey

Eternally

A Dandilion Flower

While walking my little Zoey today

I noticed an abundance of Dandilions along the way

Seeing them brought back many memories of

My young children bringing me a bouquet of

Dandilions. .

They would be so happy to loving give me 

The beautiful flowers they had found.

Children think Dandilions are flowers

And somehow we, myself included, think of them as

Obnixious Weeds. .

I picked a few Dandilions

And I brought them home and put them in little

Old blue Vasaline jars. .

I looked at them through my childish eyes. .

The bright yellow flower head

Is strikingly beautiful, vibrant and eye- catching.

My young children could see the beauty in the

Dandilion, when I was blinded by my thoughts of it

Being a Weed. .

Hmmm, is there a lesson to be learned here?

I suppose there is, just as in most simple moments of life

There is a gentle reminder.

Possibly the lesson is

  All God's creations

Have a place in this wonderful world

Sometimes we loose our wonder and imagination.

We can not see the beauty beyond our

Pre-conceived prejudices. . .

I want to have eyes to see

Beyond my own understanding

I want to see

Beautiful Yellow Dandilions

I will be linking to these fabulous blogs

Please visit them. . good things are there

HAVING A HOME IS A BLESSING

Having a Home is a Blessing.

Everywhere I have lived I have tried to

Make it a Home

 A comforting place for me and my

Family and Friends.

There was a time, not many years ago

That this is where I feared I would have to live. . .

Some broken down, windblown old barn

Ah, but alas, I have never had to live there. .

I have been very blessed

I will soon embark on

Home Ownership, once again!

Yes, I am buying my own

Home

Nothing extravagant. Not a McMansion.

Just

A sweet little Condo

A place to call my own.

Of course I will make some changes.

Paint is cheap. . .I have lots of ideas for the inside.

A few different view of it.

Even a two car garage. . oh, how I have missed a garage.

A beautiful bright sun room.

Won't that be fun to decorate?

There are two small side patio's

And a small back yard.

Oh, I am so anxious and excited and happy. .

I can't wait to move in.

I am the highest bidder, but you just never know

When buying a home.. .

It is not finalized yet.

So. . . . .I am asking for Prayers!

I know the Lord knows the righteous desires of my heart

And I know He hears and answers prayers.

And I know the Prayers of Many can bring about

Miracles!

So, here is to Faith and Hope

That this little space will belong to me.

My Defense Was Down

Oh Yes, My Defenses were down

Last week when I went 

ANTIQUE SHOPPING

I told my son-in-law his birthday present from me

Was for him to take me 

Antique Shopping!

I thought that would be a great present for him. . 

Oh, did we ever have fun.

Of course my daughter went with us. .

And she does not like Antiques nor anything Old. . 

But, me and Russell love it

And away we went.

He had the shops already staked out for us. . 

Here is just a preview of what I bought.

 I love old bottles. . 

I forgot to take a picture of the mild jug I found.

 And just look at this Hobnail Water Pitcher.

Oh, my heart was pounding when I saw this baby!

 Just how could I pass up this adorable rooster?

 I have never seen a rooster with these colors.

 And it is a planter. . .

Love the little spring flowers in it.

 Oh, but look at this beautiful stool

 No way was I passing this up with the beautiful needle point seat.

Oh, I am in love with it.

I had a ball Antique Shopping.

But the best piece I bought you won't get to see now

It cost a little more, and I am making payments on it. . 

Besides it is for when I move into my new place.

(another post will be coming about me moving)

None the less me and Russ will drag daughter along

Another Saturday as we hunt for treasures.

How about you. Do you like shopping for

Antiques?

A Very Blessed Easter

I hope everyone has a very

Blessed Easter

I love this time of year,

I love the sweet

Assuring message of 

Easter.

It is a time to celebrate!

  We all much travel this journey of mortal life

 And though we shall all pass through the portals of death

 The sweet assuring message of Easter is

 Death is NOT the end. .  it is a glorious beginning

Jesus Christ The Redeemer of All
The Son of God
Made it possible for all to Live. .
May your heart be filled with His Peace. .
He Lives and so shall We!

Easter Last Year

Last year I spent

Easter 

In the beautiful surroundings of

Southern Utah

The colorful high desert of

Kanab, Utah

 

 Where the  Red Sandstone Rock Formations

Where formed over time . . 

To create an incredible vista of unique layers of sand and stone.

 Southern Utah is truly God's Master Piece of 

Wind and Water

Over hundreds of Millennium 

 The rough country was not easy for early

Settlers to tame. . .

 My Family and My Brother's family

Rolled Easter Eggs down the Red Sand Hills

Easter Saturday Picnic was a joyful time for

Little ones,,,,,and for big ones.

Frolicking in the red sand.

This year is different. . . 

Our annual Easter trip to Southern Utah

Didn't happen. . .

And I miss it!

Hopefully there is next year

And we will again be in the Red Sand

Of Southern Utah with our beloved family

Rolling Easter Eggs!

Well Hello April

Aren't you pretty?

I do believe you are playing tricks today

Momma Nature loves to play tricks,

It is Spring Time In Utah

And we often have days like this. . . 

 So. . .

I bring the beautiful flowers inside my home

And enjoy my own day of Spring. . .

A lovely Sabbath Day

Remembering the Lord and all He gives me

Even Snow, when I would rather see 

Flowers. .
