54 Degrees! January 9, 2009

It was a balmy 54 degrees today.  If I could post pictures I would burst out the spring pictures because right about now, I am ready for spring .  Have you ever noticed how beautiful weather makes other problems melt away?  I’ll admit, this week has been a doozey of a week for me and today a lot of things came crashing down all at the same time but then I walked out on the back porch and there was sunshine.  By the time Ara and I finished our walk and rode bikes around the driveway, I had forgotten all the things that had weighed down my mind and I truly believe the Lord knew that my spirit needed a 54 degree day!  I also thank Him for the blessing of my beautiful daughter who seems to know on these days that Mama needs extra hugs and sweet words.  I can’t tell you how much she makes me smile when I just don’t want to .

Stay posted to see if I will get my hands on my newspaper tomorrow before my neighbors do and other various excitement!  I sincerely hope you all had a wonderful week and enjoyed the beautiful weather (unless you are reading this from a state that did not have beautiful weather today and in that case I sincerely hope some is headed your way!).  See you tomorrow.

*Mother by Kathleen Norris

*Proverbs for Parenting: A Topical Guide for Child Raising from the Book of Proverbs by Barbara Decker

*The 15 Minute Organizer by Emilie Barnes

*The Ever-Loving Truth: Can Faith Thrive in a Post-Christian Culture by Voddie Bauchaum Jr.

Sale Saturdays Pending

Hey everyone.  I am having some computer difficulties, so I apologize for the inactivity lately.  Three times this month my coupon inserts that are delivered Saturday morning have been stolen before I could get to them.  Arg… so I am about to look at the Walgreen’s ad via their website to prepare the deals for you.  Thank you for you patience.  Also, with this computer we are borrowing, I can’t upload any pictures to WordPress so if you notice a lack of pictures that is why.
