My hubby Rich in the middle, with his niece Jayne on left

and his sister Rhonda on the right

This is one of the best presents EVER

My friend sent them to me.. 3 nests  (the one with the big

eggs is a Hummingbird nest)  NO nests or eggs were

taken from the trees.  Mother Nature deposited them

on the ground.

The lilacs bloomed, the scent is heady and now they

are on the way out.  WAAH   see ya next year dear

lilacs.

The grandsons came to visit.

Above is Cole (7)  & Joe (8) 

Second pic is Caleb , Cole's brother(6)

I was sorry to see Danny Gokey get eliminated from 

American Idol.  Tonight it's either Chris Allen or

Adam Lambert.  With Danny gone, I voted for Chris

We shall see.

About Me

I just finished reading  The Middle Place

&

have begun  New Moon

Rich and I watched  Fireproof

& I am on day two of  Love Dare

I feel good, get tired but I am able to garden.

My tiredness is from the pain in my body

I think.  I have pain constantly, but I just keep 

going.  My surgery hurts, my ribs and spine

and my right arm.  Just battle scars ..smiles

awesome.  I'll share pics as they come in.

brought her hubby with a camera.

Race for the Cure

Thanks to all of you who donated to Komen for the Cure.

JUST GO here

I believe God has a plan for each of us &

I know I am proof of miracles .  Give it to God.

Matthew 17:20 says, "I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you. 

Mark 9:23 says everything is possible for him who believes. 

Mark 10:27 says that all things are possible for God.

Fondly,
