Tuesday August 14, 2012

Despite the triple digits we've had all summer I've stayed busy. Mostly going to Oklahoma to visit my daughter. Mom and I are still dealing with the passing of my dad but times is helping us adjust.

I have found that while fun I might watch my time with Pinterest. It sure is all consuming when you get started!

With school starting comes the start of church activities. I look forward to Ladies Bible class and joining in the vistiation group. Secret sisters has started up and I chose the name of a wonderful woman! My mind is already thinking up little surprises for her. Alas I have no followers (and it might help if I were to tell my friends or post more often!) to help with suggestions.

I have been thinking about how Paul wrote about joy and questioning if I have lost some of that. I think briefly I did but now I am appreciating life so much more. After all there is an afterlife that will be sweet and perfect. For now though we are given each day to give some of ourselves to others, give some small gift that would help someone or show you care. These things bring joy.

I am trying out blueberry/lemonade muffins today. I'll post the recipe if they are good. I've been looking for some recipes to go with afternoon tea or coffee break.  I have just found one for zucchini pie as well so those will go into my next post. I love to try new recipes.

I have stumbled across a site for cardmaking - Gina K Designs. I have to be very careful much money could be spent there but I just love her videos of techniques and ideas. Pretty soon I will be starting Christmas cards only because I am pokey.

I have discovered I would never make it living in the country. My sister and bil bought a house to flip and there are all kinds of 'visitors' out there. Like those mole things or whatever it is that makes tunnels EVERYWHERE! There are probably racoons too!

Gotta take some pictures to post here on my next round...
